Hans Adam Hohrein married (1) Anna Catharine Krummin, died young. Two children. Hans and Catherine are buried in Grantschen, Germany (near Heilbronn).

Hans Adam's will (at Flein, Heilbronnn, Orphans Court #318) was written November 9, 1769. It was written to modify law and excludes his son Johann Tobias from inheriting 100%. Tobias was to share estate with his father's 2nd wife and children. A Codicil of February 19, 1772 left Tobias 300 guilden provided he came [to Germany] for it. Hans Adam may have been displeased with his oldest son for leaving at 17 years old. Jorg Baltas Munzig, a judge, was the 3rd witness.
