"ADAM" is the earliest of the members of his family, of which this compiler is aware. He was certainly born somewhere in the Palatinate, and that surname exists there. It is spelled MANY different ways. Note Adam's tombstone spelling of KIEFFABER in the photo below.

Among the surnames in the Keafaber Family Tree are: Eiler, Fetzer, Geibel, Glasser, Haupert, Lower (Lauer), and Seibel.

Adam was one of the first members of St. Peter's Church in Urbana, Indiana, established in circa 1851.
