Faye, Sure others will answer also. From what I can tell, Jacob is listed most often as the son of Cornelius, though he has been listed under Abraham at the same time. Both dates of birth listed as 1797. I list him with Cornelius, but have no proof one way or the other. Don't know about James but a note at the LDS lists his marriage date as 1837. Don't have the correct info. John W. Geiger is usually listed with Cornelius. States in the SC Journal of Ancestral Research that he was born in Bullock in 1805, but raised in Wayne County. Either Cornelius or Felix lived there with Cornelius' land given to him after 1812/15 so not sure. John W.'s kids do not fit any naming pattern that I know that would indicate his parentage. I do not have any documents to show his father being Cornelius...but he is often listed as such. Boy, take about giving someone absolutely no information...sorry I don't have something more specific. Looking forward to someone else having a more complete response.

My dad and I just started talking about him recently when I mentioned the display and how I wished he would take me to it. He said that he knew of him and he said that he didn't know for sure how we were related to him. I was browsing the history books a while ago and ran across his name and a picture of the side of his face. There was very little about him in the book though. I have not been to the display, but I intend on going. I'm hoping I can talk my dad into taking me this week. Anne, I have often wondered if the families from Germany and Switzerland weren't related further back myself. The countries are so close to each other that the family could have split up and filtered into the states as you say. That is a good thought. Margaret, the biography you ordered, Is that "Unaccustomed to Fear"? Amy ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

Was Jacob Geiger, born 1897, who married Marjorie Simmons the son of Felix? If so, did Cornelius and Rebecca Bennett Geiger have a son named Jacob born about the same time? Whose son was James Geiger who married 11/30/1849 Martha Harris in Glynn County, Ga? Whose son was John W. Geiger who married 1/9/1829 Martha F. T. King? Thanks, Faye

Amy, I would love to see that display on Gen. Geiger at the Orange Park library. In my attempt to be brief, I neglected to say that Col. Roger Willock's biography of him is a "must read" - other than the "ancestor" part starting on page 26. The stories about Middleburg, FL, and his early years there are extremely interesting. Written in 1968 (and reprinted in 1983 by the Marine Corps Ass'n.), the book is a goldmine for lovers of history and those who created it, the military, flying ..... read it - you'll love it!! The author did comment that the General considered his early life too prosaic to be of interest to others, although he was "an enthusiastic promoter of the State". He went on to say there were few records or close relatives surviving, but that "despite these restrictions, the basic information pertaining to his family background can readily be determined from such sources as are currently available." I'm just curious to know the source of his story about Roy's ancestors - that "of Austrian descent they had set foot ashore on one of Wm. Penn's proprietory land grants along the Delaware River about 1690" ..... that they didn't like the Alpine-like winters of the Philadelphia region, so by the early 1700s, began to migrate southward from PA and DE along the Atlantic Coast through the Carolinas to Georgia ..... then crossed the border into Eastern Florida during the first quarter of the nineteenth century. We know Roy's lineage goes back to Abraham GYGER, who brought his family from SWT to Charleston, SC, in 1737 ..... but is there a germ of truth in the above story? Were the northern and southern GEIGERS related? Had GYGERS been migrating from Switzerland for centuries - perhaps to Germany for a gen. or so and then on to America with their Swiss cousins? Had a branch lived in Austria? Records show that at least some of the refugee ships landing at Charleston continued on to PA. When our SC cousins threatened to "remove to PA" if they didn't get the promised schools and churches, did they intend to join kinsmen there? Much food for thought! Anne C.

Amy, are you saying you don't know who Roy's ancestors are? My sources say he's the son of Marion Francis GEIGER and Josephine PREVATT of Middleburg, Clay Co., FL, and grandson of Felix GEIGER, Jr., and Alice or Allison (Ally) SAPP. He was my mother's second cousin once removed - common ancestors Felix GEIGER and Mary MARTIN. His wife was Katherine THOMPSON and their children were Joyce and Roy Stanley, Jr. I have that biography - our son bought it for me at the Museum at Pensacola Naval Air Station. It was written after his death and has some strange facts in it that don't agree with what we all have gathered. I just wonder where the author got his material. He has Roy's ancestors coming from Austria, rather than Switzerland, and landing in PA rather than SC. Also calls both his father and grandfather "Marion Francis".

There is supposed to be a display for General Roy S. Geiger in the Orange Park, Florida library. His Biography, "Unaccustomed to Fear" is at the Clay County Library and Archives. There is a new school in the area and the naming of it has come down to either after the General or Fleming. Fleming is the area name and it was named after a local family as well. General Roy Geiger was a local and he achieved the highest ranking in the area as far as someone that was raised here. My dad and I may be able to make it out to this display next week sometime and I'll know more then. I am pretty sure he was from the Belmore area. That is where many of Allen Bethel Geiger's family is from. Amy ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

Hi, everybody, I know this is probably bending some rules, but I need a non-gen favor within the next few hours from anyone who lives near Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina. Would anyone living in that area please contact me right away -- OFF LIST -- so I can supply the details? Thank you! Richard B. Anderson, Jr., Danville, Virginia mailto:[email protected]

Beverly, Here your are. Maybe the new Purrysburg organization will "dig up" some information on these folks. Is this our John Martin?

I think we decided that Elizabeth Menglesdorf might have married Rev. John Martin. Her father was the mayor of Purrysburg which was right across the river from Ebenezer. However, this would have been John's second (or so) marriage because it didn't take place until after James (b. 1756) and Mary Martin were born. I'll give you the exact date when I find my Ebenezer Record Book. So it would seem that John's first wife -- our ancestor -- is still a mystery.

Thanks a lot Joan.

The reason for that is that these type boards fall into a completely different type of board category that we have been testing but which are not available as yet. Census data and vital records and other data similar data categories are really more suited to "list-type" boards than text boards. They work best with "fields" for the data rather than free-flowing test message boxes like our present board types use. However, there is a certain amount of discretion for any board administrator as to what type data they will accept on the present boards. Personally, for the boards I admin (the GEIGER boards included) I am quite willing to accept census and vital records on the Biographies Board. I consider all of these "events" to be biographical. So to answer your question--please post this type of information on the Biographies board. But one word of caution--if you plan to post this type of data on boards someone else admins, please ask the board admin first whether they will accept this information, and if so, which board they would like you to use. Joan

What is the address to add Censes records to the Geiger's? I find the obit, deeds,but not a place for Censes records. Thanks so much Dot

Anne, Miss Freddie Geiger was the daughter of Washington Leonard Geiger and Julia Peavy. Her sister, Caroline Gertrude, married Glover Peeler. Do you have death dates for these people? Faye

----- Original Message ----- From: Connell To: susan wilson Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2000 11:10 PM Subject: Re: [GEIGER] Judge Jack GEIGER of FL Susan, I think the List would be interested in your info and comments. I don't have the John H. Geiger you mentioned in my data base, but the "Freddie Geiger" road reminded me of something ... Buried at Evergreen Cemetery in Jacksonville, are three of Allen Geiger and Sarah Knight's children: Anna Geiger Wilson, Austin Geiger and Elbert (Elvington) Geiger. With them is a Miss Fred or Freddie Geiger, who died in 1975. Josephus Peeler (Joe) Hunter of Jax said he was told only that she was a sister of Mrs. Gertrude Geiger Peeler (his aunt), who held the deed to the lot. Not important - just an interesting coincidence. Mary Phillips thinks John Carter was a friend of her brother and that he died recently. She's written to her brother to verify this and is trying to find the obit. Will let you know if anything turns up.
