Here is another piece of the puzzle, I am kind of sure its for my family as its in Germany, and has his name.  Besides that I have tried a rough translation on it from Google so its not totally accurate.  I believe it also states that this is from Nuremberg, Germany which is where Adam Max was born.

This was taken from the book  which lists it as written/compiled for 1842 which was the year of Adam's birth also.

Königlich Bayerisches Intelligenzblatt für Mittelfranken

The translation goes something like this.....
