J.S. Geiger is listed as a Private in the Roster of Zimmerman's Battery, Capt. Blocher's Company of the Arkansas Light Artillery, CSA. The Unit was organized at Little Rock on 6 August 1862. There is also a Roster Card for a J.H. Geiger with identical entries. Would anyone be able to identify him as to where he resided or to which family he belongs??? I am looking for a James Samuel Gieger from Covington County, MS and the surname is often misspelled...James Samuel was a Baptist preacher who died in 1868 at a yet unknown place, and his widow was living in Grant Parish LA on the 1870 Census.

James Samuel Geiger b. 18 Nov 1851 Jones MS, d. 9 Oct 1925 buried Shady Grove Cem. Jones , MS. He was the son of Abraham Geiger and Mary Coates. If that is your ancestor he was probably to young for CW? Don At 08:08 PM 24-06-06, you wrote: >J.S. Geiger is listed as a Private in the Roster of Zimmerman's >Battery, Capt.
