Yes, Warren. John Martin GEIGER and Emily JOYNER had 8 children. Mary [b. 1833] was 4th; she marr. Archibald H. JONES. Anson [b. 1846] was the youngest; he marr. Martha Jane ROBINSON. Others were Allen, Charles, Martha, Elizabeth, Noah, and Pliny. If you do a search in the GEIGER List Archives at http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl, I think you will come up with a fair amount of data on that line.
