Marriage
While visiting his father in Mattersburg in the summer of 1810, Adam met the Austrian Anna Lager who had recently moved from Vienna to Mattersburg. Their marriage took place in the parish of Unterfrauenhaid on January 11, 1811.
The only child of the couple, Franz Liszt, was born on October 22, 1811. Adam's father Georg wrote to prince Esterházy in 1812 that Adam had 3 more children, but there is no other documentation about this, and it seems unlikely.
