Nancy, here are some things I've found by running a search on Google (keywords - people born in Adar)

"In telling about Haman's lottery to choose a date to destroy the Jews, the Talmud (T.B. Megillah 13b) teaches: "Since the lottery came out on the month of Adar Haman was very happy. He said `My lottery fell in the month that Moshe died.' But he didn't know that although on the seventh of Adar Moshe died, on the seventh of Adar he was (also) born."
