    3. Abraham Geiger was living in SC in 1787 were he was listed as a petit juror in Saxe-Gotha. This is also the same year he received remuneration for supplying SC troops with cattle. He was listed in the Lexington Co. 1790 census. I believe that his son Jesse (b.1793) listed his birthplace as GA in the 1850 census. So that would seem that Abraham and possibly his new bride would have moved to GA between 1790 and 1793. I found something else regarding the Weberite heresy written by a friend of Rev. John Nicholas Martin's son-in-law: He described the sect as "numbers of both sexes went about uncovered and naked, and practiced the most abominable wantoness." After the execution of the sect's founder (1761) "the sect spread to North Carolina, Maryland and Virginia." This suggests to me that it wasn't the GA Geigers who were involved.
