The following biography of Adam Radabaugh was posted anonymously at findagrave.com. I am not the author.
Adam came over from Germany with his family in 1738 where they settled in Berks County, Pennsylvania, along with the Buzzards and Alts. Berks County appears to be where Adam grew up and married his wife Marie Barbara Fischer 9 Jun 1754 in Host Church, Berks County. Some time in the next decade there was a movement abroad among the German colonist in Berks to move even futher west. In the late 1760's Adam and his friend Henry Buzzard and their families decided to head to the vicinity of Lord Fairfax South Branch Manor in Hampshire County, Virginia. Hampshire County was divided in 1786, the southern half, where the Radabaughs resided become HARDY COUNTY Virginia. It became a part of West Virginia when it became a state in 1863. Adam's will was signed 6 August 1802, probated 10 September 1806, estate appraised 25 September 1806 and recorded 15 October 1806. Barbara must have passed before the will was written, their is no mention of her. For additional info go to the Kuczynski Family Tree and from Leonard Hire's xeroxed copy of the orginal records. I desire my body to be Buried in Christian like manner after my Death.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
