Adam Brotzman

Adam Brotzman born 4 Nov 1782 and died 27 Sept 1860. He and his wife Susann Benninger Brotzman Sept 11 1789-27 March 1862. They are both buried at St. Paul’s Cemetery, (Craigs Meadows) Marshalls Creek, Pa. His stone was/is very large and it has since fallen and is now lying down as seen in the picture. Hers is smaller but still standing. Considering it has been 156 years the stones are both readable. Adam and his wife farmers were among the first settlers to our area. His family has a very long history in Pa. My research found that his grandfather George Adam Brutzman(1782-1815) was the first in the family to settle in Pa. the surname spelled a number a ways: Brutzman, Brotzman and even Prutzman.

I contacted my genealogy friend Carol Hoose Brotzman, her husband Dale is not related to this line but Adam and Dale share John (Johann) Frederick Brotzman as a common ancestor. She filled me in on the rest of the family. thanks Carol <3
