Several years ago, a lady contacted me about a James Samuel Geiger who was supposed to be her progenitor, but he was not of the same age as mine. I have changed hard-drives since then, and can't recall her name, but seems like she was in the Nassau County FL area. The name Martha Harris seems familiar also, but it might be due to some other connection... The Shuman Family Book by Earlene Shuman Geiger, includes Abraham and Mercy's son James (b1808), but lists no info. Chubb Geiger's book says he was scalped by Indians. Since Glynn County is South of Bryan County and along the route to FL, it is possible that he married during migration to FL, to join his older brothers and cousins...There are many Geiger descendants in the St Mary's Bend area of GA and FL...Perhaps some of them will be able to identify this James... >From: <bzb@houston.rr.com> >Reply-To: GEIGER-L@rootsweb.com >To: GEIGER-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: [GEIGER] James Geiger >Date: Sat, 6 Mar 2004 19:07:50 -0600 > >James Geiger married Martha Harris on 11/30/1837 in Glynn Co., GA.

Hey, Gerry, I just saw something interesting: there's a J. Geiger living in Baldwin Co, GA in 1860. He was born in 1834 Bermuda. I wonder if that's where we can find some of the clan who has escaped detection all these years. I found that James GIEger (b. 1808 GA) who married Martha Harris: He was living in Nassau Co, FL in 1860. Jacob GIEger (b. 1797 GA) was also living in that county. I have this Jacob as the son of Cornelius so I'm guessing that James might be a brother. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gerald Gieger" <giegerg@hotmail.com> To: <GEIGER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, March 08, 2004 10:14 AM Subject: RE: [GEIGER] James Geiger > Several years ago, a lady contacted me about a James Samuel Geiger who was > supposed to be her progenitor, but he was not of the same age as mine.
