Adam Poth (1835 - 1891), immigrant, Steve Poth's paternal great-grandfather

 Adam Poth (April 1, 1835 - May 20, 1891) 

This is Steve Poth's paternal great grandfather (Adam Poth > Edward J. M. Poth > Charles D. Poth > Stephen D. Poth) 

Adam Poth was born in Vogelbach, Bayern (Bavaria), Germany.  His father was Adam Poth and his mother was Elisabeth Klein.  

Adam married Maria Clemens there in 1863, in Obermiesau, Pfalz, Bavaria.  

Their first two children were born in Germany, and then the family immigrated to the United States, and lived in Ohio, Kentucky, and New York.   They had seven children (the youngest was Edward John Michael Poth). 

Adam does not appear with the family in the 1875 Buffalo, New York census.  There is a mention on that census that he'd left the family.  

Adam died in 1891 in Kentucky and is buried in a single grave.
