   Adam was born in Wahlenau, in the Mosel River section of Germany, to Michael Trarbach and Maria Elizabeth Hermann and was christened on April 15, 1728, at Sohren Parish. He came to America with his parents in 1751 and landed in Philadelphia on September 9. In America, his name became Drorbach and the first record of him was in 1757 when he purchased two 100 acre plots in Cordorus township of York County, a short distance west of Seven valleys. Adam was married at that time to Catherine Scheebler, which occurred in about 1756. In 1757, son Michael was born and then Henry in 1758. In 1763, son Adam was christened at Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church in York and the church still exists. A son Abraham was born soon after that. In 1766, Adam joined Schuster's (Friendensaal) Reformed Church and his son Jacob was christened there. In 1767, Adam moved to 171 acres along the east branch of Cordorus Creek in York County, Pennsylvania and near the present town of Jacobus. Adam's father lived on 210 acres next to him and their land is now part of William Kain Park and Lake Williams. Son William was born in 1768 and daughter Elizabeth Catherine in 1770. Adam died just before or after her birth and all of Adams seven children were put in the care of his brother's William and Nicholas. Adam's children are:
