Sorry, that should have been "arrival", not "arirval". My mistake, not his. Anne C. -----Original Message----- 'On Sunday last arrived two hundred Palatines; most of them being poor, they were obliged to sell themselves and their children for their passage (which is six pistoles in gold per head) within a fortnight of the time of their arirval, or else to pay one pistole more to be carried to Philadelphia. ...'

Hi, Rosemary: Saw your query that Gerry forwarded to our GEIGER List and offer this for your consideration. Gov. Hans Jacob GYGER/GEIGER who arrived at Charleston, SC, on 1 Feb 1737 from Canton St. Gallen, SWT, with his wife and children (and other family members), had a married son Herman GEIGER, whose wife was Elizabeth HABLÜZEL of Trüllikon, Canton Zurich, SWT. The Lexicon der Schweitz says the HABLÜZEL family was prominent in Trüllikon as early as 1554. They were married in Canton St. Gallen on 26 Feb 1734. I do not know her parents, but she very well could be related to your Johannes. See the item below from "History of Orangeburg Co., SC" by A. S. Salley, Jr., 1898. Pg. 34. "... But it was not until 1735 that this portion of the province had any considerable number of whites. The arrival of the settlers who found their way thither is thus mentioned in the South Carolina Gazette, under date of July 26th: -- 'On Sunday last arrived two hundred Palatines; most of them being poor, they were obliged to sell themselves and their children for their passage (which is six pistoles in gold per head) within a fortnight of the time of their arirval, or else to pay one pistole more to be carried to Philadelphia. ...'

Doris, maybe we have corresponded before...Angeline LaFayette was a 3 year-old child who appeared in the 1850 Census for Grandfather Jessie, and I thought she might be a quadroon or Mulatto child, however it turns out that she is not, but likely a Cajun or French Canadian...of unknown origins...She was not a slave child... I talked with a Barbara Knotts in Ellisville MS last month, and she is a descendant of William Preston Long...Actually Lucinda Jane was a twin and the other child went to live with Rev. Long, a Methodist Circuit Rider, when he and Angeline divorced...He later married Melinda Harris. Barbara said there were several Lafayette brothers on the same Census over in Wayne County and that she thinks that they were laborers and no one had any use for the little girl, but that the Gieger's took her in, out of kindness... If you find out anything else, Please let me know... Wm. Preston Long's father, Archibald C. Long, is buried in the Meshack Rogers' Cemetery in Covington County MS and the backside of his headstone lists Angeline and Wm. Preston; however, Wm. P. is buried in the Long Cemetery in Jones Co.

Gail... Lots of that surname still in MS as listed in the phone book. Now it appears the line ran into Purvis, Lamar Co. which is just south of Hattiesburg. While there were probably a lot of Geigers in the area at one time--Hattiesburg is large... There was a Thomas Bayard Geiger who lived there who had owned a printing or publishing business through the 1950's, I think. Now one of his children married a Thomas, but I know of no sons...but I know nothing of his line in particular. He was the son of Isaac Cornelius Geiger of Simpson, County. I couldn't find a William E. in the phone book for MS, but since he was born in 1942 there is a good chance he is somewhere as well the chances that Elizabeth Geiger, his wife, is still alive. There is a William E. listed in Alabama...only William E. listed for all states. This probably doesn't help much, but just an idea.

THE GERMAN BAPTISTS OF NORTH AMERICA An Outline of Their History by Albert John Ramaker Professor in German Dept. Rochester Theological Seminary; German Baptist Publishing Co; 1924. p. 9 In 1668 - (German) Mennonites immigrated to America. Settled near Germantown, PA. p. 10 18th century - Large numbers of (German) Moravians and a colony of "Tunkers," sometimes called "German Baptists" settled in PA. p. 10 Very few German ministers came with German immigrants. Religious needs sadly neglected. p. 11 "about the beginning of the nineteenth century, a number of new religious bodies took their rise here, as for example, the United Bretheren in Christ and the Evangelical Assoc., formerly called "Albrights", in 1800, and the Church of God (Winebrennarians), in 1830. The German Methodists began to found churches in 1835 and the German Baptists in 1840." Direct quote from German Baptist theologian in a small hardbound history book. Book traces spread of German Baptists over America but DOES NOT MENTION them being in the South...no SC, GA, AL, FL, MS or TEXAS. Names GEIGER, GIGGER, KEGAR or MARTIN not found. 1840 too late for John or James Martin as ministers of German Baptist church. Both decesed. Just thought you'd like to know what the book says. Oldest Baptist Churches in Bryan and surrounding counties were formed @1790 (not German Baptist). Ramaker ignores Moravians who came to GA in early 1700s and founded Irene, a school for Indians. I'll just have to look at other Baptist Church histories. Note: The "T" in Tunker may sound close to the English "d". No clue as to the meaning of "Tunker." Were there GEIGERS, GIGERS, KEGARS or MARTINS among the PA German Baptists? Anyone out there - help! Margie

Gail, I don't know this family, but in Wyman May's book on Ft. Stewart, GA, Cemeteries there are three ENTREKIN names. It lists in Tattnall Co., at Sand Hill Cemetery, Mt. Pleasant Methodist Episcopal Church: ENTREKIN, Eva, Dec 8, 1878-Dec 2, 1903; Mary V., Nov 17, 1864-Jun 3, 1900; John A., s/o W.m. & M.V. ENTREKIN, Apr 28, 1897-Nov 26, 1897.

Gail I think you may be on a hot trail...I have seen that Entrekin surname before but can't remember where...maybe it is in the Emanuel Henry Martin Book??? or on that WFT for Henry Ulric Martin???

Margie: Here is the website of the German Baptist Brethren(Dunkers). They were also called Tunkers because they practiced immersion three times once in the name of the Father, once in the name of the Son, and once in the name of the Holy Spirit...They also rejected Infant Baptism as their predecessors, Anabaptists of Europe, did, and they practice foot washing. Most of these doctrines are also part of the Primitive Baptist Creed...But the Primitive (called Hard-shell in the South) usually kept very good church records, so we might find something in there...Armchair Researcher is a good one for Primitive Baptist Church records... The CoC, sometimes called Campbellites because of their founder, Alexander Campbell, also follows some of these doctrines... http://www.brethren.org/genbd/bhla/publishing.htm http://www.brethren.org/genbd/bhla/fobg.htm http://www.brethren.org/desc.htm >From: [email protected] >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: [GEIGER] German Baptists/N orth America >Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2000 22:46:36 -0700 > >THE GERMAN BAPTISTS OF NORTH AMERICA An Outline of Their History by >Albert John Ramaker Professor in German Dept.
