Marriages:
1. 1728-02-05 Hans Adam Zentz
2. Michael Born

Children of Anna Geis and Hans Zentz:
Johann Christian Zentz b. 1731-02-14
Catharina Barbara Zentz b. 1734-06-09
*Johann Peter Zentz b. about 1736-00-00

Johannes Born b. 1740-00-00
Elizabeth Born b. 1742-00-00

Notes:

Trees at Ancestry say her parents were
Joseph Geis c1672 Haslach d 1748-01-16 Schorbach
+ Margaretha Künt (Kinder) c1673 Lengelsheim, Moselle, Lorraine FRA d 1745-10-09

I think that's a different Anna Maria, though, who married Johann George Zentz s/o Marc Zentz.
Or maybe Adam's wife wasn't a Geis after all.

After they arrived in PA, Anna Maria married Michael Born, whose wife had also died on the trip over.

buried in Immanuel Lutheran church cemetery, Manchester, Carroll Co MD (Baltimore Co at the time), in the section called "God's Acre", row 3, stone 2
Her gravestone reads:

[There wasn't a town called Tiebach in Alsace, but there is a Seebach.
There is a town Diebach in Bavaria, Germany, about 75 miles from Puberg, where Adam was born.]
