  	BonnieMargaret Jacobs, on page 33 of her 1981 manuscript, stated that "The children of our ancestor Adam were apparently all born in Berg. Adam's sons Wolff, Melchior, Caspar and Johann were reported to have accompanied their mother, Maria, to communion at Leinroden in the 1660s's and 1670's. His children Margaretha, Hanns Albrect, Jacob, Maria Barbara and Adam were [specifically shown] in the Fachsenfeld record as having been born in Berg...it was sometime [later] during the 1690's that Adam came to the Scherrenm?hle at Waiblingen to join his brother, Jerg. The Scherrenm?hle was about half an hours walk from Fachsenfeld, and BonnieMargaret said it was described as "a stately grind, saw and oil mill on the foot of the Scherren berge (mountain) next to which there was a private wooden bridge that led over the Kocher river." (p. 37). It was owned by the patriarch of the areas ruling family, Hans Sigmund von Wellwarth, and considered as part of Waiblingen. BonnieMargaret speculated that Adam, and several of his children, remained at the Scherrenm?hle the rest of their lives. But while the mill and the farms around it were large, they were not large enough to support succeeding generations. (p. 38).
