Mary knows that, Gerry. She meant to say Stephen. Good idea to reaffirm it, though. However, Allen (Bethel) GEIGER was a son of Felix, SR. and Mary MARTIN. Felix, JR., was his next younger brother. I have the sibs as: Jacob S. (c. 1797), John Martin (1798 - my ancester), Rachel (c. 1800), Allen Bethel (26 Oct 1802 - Mary's ancester), Felix, Jr. (6 Feb. 1804), Mary (1 July 1806), and perhaps Margaret (betw. 1814 and 1816). I don't have proof that Margaret belongs in this family. My too-brief notes only say: < From Dot Miller: "Archibald H. JOHNS, born May 12, 1810, married 1. Margaret PREVATT; 2. Margaret GEIGER; 3. Addie ROBERTS. Margaret Geiger and Archibald had six children." The 1850 Florida census, Columbia Co. (29 October), shows on page 60-A, line 12, family 198: "Archibald H. JOHNS, 40 M, farmer, $1,000, b. GA; Margaret Johns, 36 F, b. GA; Jacob Johns, 15 M, b. FL, John H. Johns, 9 M, b. FL, Irvin Johns, 8 M, b. FL, Jeremiah Johns, 6 M, b. FL, Mary M. Johns, 4 F, b. FL, Laura P. Johns, 1 F, b. FL." Note: If this is the Margaret GEIGER who is the daughter of Felix GEIGER, SR., she seems a bit young for her sibs, who were born from 1798 to 1806. > I'm not sure we agree on the order of birth of Ulrich's first 4 ch., but anyhow, don't forget No. 5, Rachel, b. 1769 (Ebenezer Record Book), d. perhaps before 1815 settlement of her father's estate. Her older brother Felix, Sr., gave a daughter that name in abt. 1800. Cornelius was No. 6.

My memory sometimes gets short, so I apologize...I thought Mary knew better, but I did not want to let an error pass...goodness knows we have enough out there without contributing to them. I was not overlooking Rachel, just that she is not listed as an heir in the 1814 Transactions, but that the Land Grant Application mentions four, whatever the order...which I agree is not fixed... >From: "R.
