He married Julia Ann Augusta Bitner (Boetner in German), daughter of Johan Ernst and Wilhelmina Bitner on November 16, 1848 in Harrison County, Indiana. The marriage license shows her name as Augustus and that they Were married by a minister. One source said that they met on the boat coming to America. Augusta, her parents and brother George came to America together. The Bitner family probably lived in Jackson Township of Harrison County. She was born in Prussia about 1830 or before and came to this country at age 16 in 1846 or before. The date 1848 and ??? were given as date of entry. She and her brother each inherited over $1,500 from an uncle in Germany about 1898.
They lived at least the later years of their lives on the farm west of New Salisbury in Jackson Township in Harrison County, Indiana, which he may have inherited from his parents. It probably was an 80 acre farm. The farm has had several owners since their deaths, including their son, Jacob Adam, Alva Wheat, Robert Davis and the present owner, Wiliam Ballard. The farm is located west of New Salisbury, east of Ramsey and south of Ind. 64 on a road now known as Golden Road. The farm is near the Adam Adam farm on which Eddie Adam, Adam Adam's great-great-grandson now lives.

At the time of her death they had 23 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. They had 13 children born to them: 7 boys and 6 girls according to her obituary in the Corydon Democrat. Three of the sons are not known to us and it is presumed that they died in childhood. Two other sons are known to have died as children. Probably all of these 5 sons are buried at the Rooster Cemetery in unmarked graves. Only 8 children lived to maturity. All were born in Indiana.
