Johan Adam Whisenhunt and
Anna Barbara unknown
Johan Adam Whisenhunt was born in Hassloch, Germany 2 Sep 1719. Johann died 11 Apr 1784 in Lincoln Co., NC, at 64 years of age.
He married Anna Barbara in PA, about 1734. Barbara died abt 1800 in Lincoln Co., NC. Some researchers believe she was Anna Barbara Eaker, born in Alsace in 1721. There is no proof of this and that would mean Barbara's daughter Eve Catherine would have been marrying her uncle when she married Christian Eaker. Though marraige between first cousins were not uncommon, uncle-neice was considered too close. Her relationship, if any, to Peter Eaker is unknown.
Adam arrived in Philadelphia from Rotterdam aboard the Snow Lowther on October 14, 1731 with his parents. He lived in Berks County, PA. Adam moved from PA to NC sometime between 1754 when he is shown as living in Heidleburg Township, Berks County and 1759 when he appears on the Rowan County Tax List of that year. (At that time Rowan included all land from present day Rowan County south to South Carolina and west to the Pacific Ocean.) Records do indicate he owned property first along Abbott's Creek before moving west of the Catawba to Indian Creek.
