I believe the above John Adam Geiger (who is sometimes shown as John Adam Geyer) MAY be the John Adam Geiger/Geyer who settled in Alsace Township, Berks County, PA and died there in 1778. We had considered that he may be John Adam Geiger who is the progenitor of the Rural Hall, North Carolina Kiger family but a comparison of the signatures from the Phoenix ship list and the NC Adam Geiger's will do not appear to be a match. > > * * * * * * * * * * > Pennsylvania Naturalization Records > > Henry Giekert (could this be a Geiger??) - naturalized April 10, 1760 I think Henry may be from the Guecker/Gicker (later Geiger) family of Sharon Craig who is on this list and who I am sure will be happy to have this information. > > William Giger, Philadelphia County, arrived September 7, naturalized > September 24, 1760 I am not sure but he could be the Wilhelm Kyger who arrived on the ship Dragon in 1732. If often took many years for the immigrants to become naturalized and often they only became citizens in order to own land. > > Valentine Geygar, Philadelphia County, naturalized September 25, 1740 This is Valentine Geiger of Ittlingen, Northern Kraichgau, Germany, who arrived in 1717 with his father-in-law, Rev. Anthony Jacob Henckel. Joan
