They came to America in 1717 when Adam was still a boy and settled with the Germanna Colony in Virginia on land that was then in Spotsylvania county, then Orange in 1734, Culpeper in 1748, and finally Madison in 1793. He married Oct 1727 at Germanna to Susanna Kobler. 19 Sep 1730, Adam (and presumably also Susanna) became a charter member of Hebron Lutheran Church. 20 Dec 1735, they bought 100 acres of land in the fork of the Robinson River. 10 Jun 1737, they bought 400 acres adjoining George Moyer (Orange Co., VA Grant Book 17 page 327). 1739 - Adam was a tithable in Orange Co., VA. 18 Feb 1762 - they gave sons John and Nicholas 150 acres each. 15 Aug 1778 - they gave son Adam 123 acres. 1779 - Adam appeared on the Culpeper county tax list. Adam wrote his will on 9 Sep 1793, indicating perhaps that he was in poor health. He received communion at Hebron Lutheran Church in Nov 1793 and died sometime before 23 Jan 1794, when his will was probated at court. Susanna had predeceased him. Will Book 1, p.24-27 Madison Co, VA: "In the name of God amen I, Adam Yager, of the county of Madison being in perfect mind and memory, but calling to mind the uncertainty of this life do make and ordain this my last will and testament in manner of form following. First recommending my soul to almighty God assuredly hoping and trusting for eternal salvation through the merits of sufferings of my blessed Saviour Jesus Christ. As of touching my worldly estate which it hath pleased God to bless me with, I leave and give in manner of form following: First my will and desire is that my two old negros, Tom and Lucy shall be set at liberty. Neither of my children nor any other person to claim any right in or to them. All the estate that I have heretofore given to any of my children that they are or have been in possession of I do not consider as my estate, but theirs to whom it was given. I give to my four sons, Michael, John, Adam and Godfrey all my books to be equally divided between them by lot or other ways as they may agree. I bequeath to my son Godfrey Yagar all the land of plantation whereon I now live containing by patent one hundred acres together with sixty one acres I bought of Nelson to him, his forever. I also give to my son Godfrey any horse or mare I shall be possessed with at my death, as also my best saddle and bridle. I give unto my daughter Barbara Chelf the bed and furniture whereon I lay to her and her heirs forever. All the residue of my estate both real and personal my will it shall be sold but no person shall be allowed to bid but my four sons, Michael, John, Adam and Godfrey, and my two grandsons Adam Clore and Benjamin Yager and the money arising from the sale to be divided into six parts and my four sons before named or in case of their death their legal representatives to have four of the six parts. My grandchildren the heirs of Nicholas Yager deceased one other part. My other grandchildren the heirs of Pete Clore begotten by my daughter Barbara the other part of the said parts so given to my said grandchildren, shall be paid into the hands of Adam Clore and Benjamin Yager to be by them paid to their brothers and sisters as before directed as they shall come of age or marry. Whereas my granddaughter Elizabeth Hayman, daughter of Peter and Barbara Clore is dead. My will and desire is that Adam Clore shall pay the part would fall unto to her children as they shall come of age or marry. In case any of my grand children, either the children of Nicholas Yager or the children of Pete Clore shall die before they come of age or shall marry, that their part shall be divided between the r surviving brothers and sisters. But in order that my executors hereafter named shall not be distressed, I allow them eighteen months to pay any legacy I have here given. My executors hereafter named, should they judge it would be to their interest may suffer other bidders at the sale of my estate. I do hereby appoint and nominate my four sons, Michael Yager, John Yager, Adam Yager and Godfrey Yager to be executors of this my last will land testament revoking all other wills by me heretofore made in testamony whereof I have hereunto placed my hand and seal this ninth day of September 1793."
