Folks, I found that reference to the second "Christian GEIGER" and I may have been premature in assigning the 14 yr. old Christian buried at Ebenezer in 1770 to Ulrich and Apollonia. Also I found a problem with Ulrich's Cornelius, b. 1 Feb 1774. At the Washington Memorial Library, Macon, GA, I found "Records of Effingham Co., GA, Containing Annals of GA - Vol. II, and Effingham Co. Legal Records >From GA Genealogical Magazine" by Caroline Price Wilson. I didn't have time to look up all our names, but on p. 35, it says: ...................................................... (p.269) JOHN KOGLER of Eff. Co., cordwiner [sic], and Christian Elisabeth his wife, to ABIAL SCHWEIGHOFFER of Eff. Co., wheelwright. Deed dated Nov. 5, 1788, for 100 acres in Eff. Co. granted CHRISTIAN GEIGER Aug. 7, 1762, and by him "made over" to SEBILA GEIGER, the widow and relict of Christian Geiger by legacy and by her deeded to grantor. Wit: Jonathan RAHN, Andrew SECKINGER, Abraham MALLETT. (276) JACOB MOHR, planter, of Eff. Co., and Sibella his wife, to JOHN KOGLER, of Eff. Co. Deed dated March 7, 1788, for 100 acres in Eff. Co. granted CHRISTIAN GEIGER Aug. 3, 1762, and by him left to his wife SIBELLA (now MOHR) as his widow and sole heir. Wit: Thomas LANE, Jonathan RAHN, Lewis BUNTZ. ....................................................... Summary: 1762: Grant to Christian GEIGER, who died in 17___, leaving land to wife Sibella. 1788: On 7 Mar, Jacob MOHR and wife Sibella, called widow and SOLE HEIR of Christian GEIGER, deed the land to John KOGLER and Christian Elizabeth his wife. Could she be Christian G.'s dau., but not an heir? Was Christian GEIGER (1756-1770) his son ... rather than Ulrich's? 1788: On 5 Nov, the KOGLERS sell the land. = = = = = = = = = = "The Germans of Colonial GA - 1733-1783", by George F. Jones, 1986, tells a different story. He lists just one "Christian": GEIGER, Christian (fr Ogeechee, grant 1762); GEIGER, ______, w. Christian, 1774 s Cornelius. He does not cross-ref. this "son Cornelius, b. 1774" and doesn't relate the 1774 birth record that we took to be a son of Ulrich and Apollonia. Jones' books are not consistent in their facts and I have found errors. = = = = = = = = = = "The Jerusalem Church Records" by George F. Jones, 1991, has yet another story: Here he lists only the other Christian GEIGER, the 14 yr. old who died. No Sibella GEIGER MOHR, but now he lists a widow, Sibyll Regina GEIGER, who marr. NIESS in 1761. On p. 64, we get that birth record: "Cornelius, son of [left unfilled] Geiger in Ogeechee and his wife, was born Feb. 1, 1774, and baptized July 18, 1774. Sponsors were Mr. Rister [sic-Rester or Riester] and his wife". Hope this makes sense ... I'm tired ... must quit. But all this needs some careful research. Anne C.
