To further elaborate on this--Christian Geiger's will of 3 May 1779 states that he is "old and weak of body but of sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding." It also says that he does therefore "make and publish this my last Will and Testament in manner following." To me that say he had no prior wills (or I would think it would state that all previous wills were revoked or recinded) and was of sound mind--thereby strengthening my case for the fact that he had a wife named Christiana living at the time of his death almost 6 years after the death of his wife Christina Veit.
