My husband is descended from this David who married, raised his family, and died in Jefferson County, Ohio. David's death record says he is the son of Adam Hauser. The only Adam Hauser I could find in Maryland who could be David's father was the Adam who married Sybilla Yantz. The baptisms of several of Adam and Sybilla's children are recorded in the books of St. Paul Lutheran in Cumberland. But those books list NO baptisms between 22 December 1800 and 14 January 1802, even though there were several every month in other years. Of course, our David's birthday falls right in the middle of that gap! So I have been researching Adam and Sybilla's family as though they are ours, until and unless I'm proven wrong. I suppose the only way to know for sure is with DNA. Question - do you know when Adam Hauser died? do you know where he and Sybilla were buried? Thanks for replying, Christine. It's ironic that the family of our surname is the one I'm having the most trouble with. Mona Houser Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
