    3. Sure do remember that, Gerry. From my notes: "In 1811, Cornelius was in Capt. James BIRD's Co., of PRAY's 2nd Reg. of the GA Militia Infantry, with his nephews Jeremiah and Samuel, sons of Abraham and Mercy. He was discharged 15 Apr 1815 at Bulloch Co. Court House. He put in for soldier's lot, #107 - 333 District, 9th District, 2nd Sec. of Indian lands now called Wayne Co., GA. Was there near Tuckerville, as head of family in 1820 and in 1840. Brother Felix also removed to Wayne Co." Some of this came from Chubb GEIGER's book. "Georgia Archives say a Felix GEIGER was "Sergt. in Capt. RAWLS' Co., 15 Feb 1794", and was on records in Effingham Co. from 1784 to 1815. Chubb GEIGER said Felix and Cornelius might have served in Florida with the Georgia militia." I missed any refs. to Abraham and John serving with Felix. That sure would be a logical fit. I'll look through my files again. About the DAR/SAR - do you have evidence that they served in the Rev. War, too? That would really be great! I have Abe born 1758 to 1761, Felix 1763 and John 1765.
