There is a listing for Philip in the 1830 Ga. census ...for Darien, McIntosh County. Appears to be single, age between 30 and 40. Living in same town is someone listed as John U. Geiger, age 20-30 with wife, no children listed. Someone listed Philip as being the first son of Felix and references Gnann as the source of this material. Seen Philip as a witness to a lot of docs, but no clue to where he begins...and earlier census material is not avialable . Isn't there also a Michael Geiger mentioned for before 1800 in Georgia as well? Not sure but I though I saw the name Micheal in passing some time ago.........
