I've found no gov't or church records thus far that backs up the claim of paternity for Anna Barbara Tshudy nee Adams.
According to an account of Guysbert Sutphen and his brother-in-law, Matthias Lane (who married Elisabeth Sutphen),
Matthias Lane, Sr., and Guisbert Sutphen, his brother-in-law, both left Monmouth co. to make their future home in Somerset co. in 1744. The two were married on the same day., and, as both purchased lands in Somerset the next year, both may have journeyed there at the same or nearly the same time. The lands purchased by them were near together.. Matthias' purchase was on May 14, 1744, and consisted of two tracts; the one bounded by land . "now in possession of Robert Rosbrough," and the "Allamatunk river" [Lamington], and contained 382 acres. The other, adjoining, was bounded by the same river and "John Adams," and contained 186 acres.. The tract, probably adjoining, which Guisbert Sutphen purchased, of about 300 acres, is said to have been sold by him to Matthias Lane in 1745, but I have been unable to verify it by recorded deeds.
