Gerry and Anne, Thanks for the response...thought it might be him, but not sure of his date of birth and if he would have been of age at the time. The complete list I found is as follows: ABRAHAM GEIGER 3 REG'T (RUTLEDGE'S) SOUTH CAROLINA STATE TROOPS. ANTHONY GEIGER CAPT. SHAVER'S RIFLE CO., OHIO MILITIA. BENJAMIN GEIGER HILL'S REGIMENT, PENNSYLVANIA MILITIA. CHARLES GEIGER CAPT. HERTZOG'S CO. (FAYETTE GREENS), PENNSYLVANIA MILITIA. CORNELIUS GEIGER 2 REGIMENT (PRAY'S), GEORGIA MILITIA. DANIEL GEIGER 1 REG'T (TAYLOR'S) VIRGINIA MILITIA. JACOB GEIGER 1 REGIMENT (RAGAN'S), MARYLAND MILITIA. JACOB GEIGER JUHAN'S BATTALION, SOUTH CAROLINA MILITIA. JACOB GEIGER JUHAN'S BATTALION, SOUTH CAROLINA MILITIA. JOHN GEIGER LIEUT. COL. DODGE'S COMMAND, MISSOURI MILITIA. JOHN GEIGER 1 RIFLE BATT'N (PINKNEY'S), MARYLAND MIL. JOHN GEIGER 5 REGIMENT (LEWIS') KENTUCKY VOLS. JOHN GEIGER 57 REGIMENT VIRGINIA MILITIA. SAMUEL GEIGER 2 REGIMENT (PRAY'S), GEORGIA MILITIA. This list does not include your Abraham or Felix, so it must exist is some other file. I will go back and try a different spelling of the last name...that could account for them not being found.
