I am working on figuring out how this all ties together. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me. I have a Daniel Kyger born 31 January 1772 in Hampshire County, VA--now WV (his name at birth was Benjamin Kyger but somewhere along the line he adopted the name Daniel). He is idenitified in an 1808 deed as "Daniel Kyger formerly known as Benjamin." He is the son of George Kyger and Mary Beeler. George Kyger is the son of John Georg Geiger, brother of Valentine Geiger, and Maria Catharina Henckel, daughter of the Rev. Anthony Jacob Henckel. On 22 April 1813 Daniel married Anna Maria "Mariah" Teagarden, born 14 April 1788, and the couple lived in Milford Township, Butler County, Ohio. Of interest to us is the fact that Anna Maria Teagarden was the daughter of Moses Teegarden born in Frederick, MD, and his wife Mary Huston (who is sometimes shown as Mary Waldour). Next I have a much more recent Kiger Teagarden connection. Grace Louise Teegarden born 14 July 1913 married 25 August 1929 to Melvin Kiger, son of Charles and Lettie (Barr) Kiger of Ohio. Now I know who this Charles Kiger is who married Lettie/Letta Barr--he was born in 1868 and is the son of George W. Kiger and his second wife, Carilla Gallagher, of Amanda Township, Fairfield County, Ohio. I don't have a son Melvin listed for this couple--can someone help me out with this.? I have three children listed as follows: Ethel Kiger, Fanny Fay Kiger (born 1898 and died 1901), and Desil/Dessel Kiger born 1902 and died 1967. Was there a fourth child for this couple or are Dessel and Melvin the same person? Finally I have in my files Golda Alice Tegarden born Aug. 8, 1885, who married Walter Scott Bassett. This comes from the research of Dorothy Vekasi. I have Walter Scott Bassett listed as the son of Charles Hall Bassett and Mary Ann Kyger. Mary Ann Kyger is the daughter of Daniel Kyger (born 1807) and Charity Lines. Note: this is a different Daniel Kyger than the one above. This Daniel Kyger is the son of John Kyger/Kiger and his wife Sarah Parrish. John Kyger and Sarah Parrish were married in Kentucky. Does anyone have access to the Tegarden book so that we could hopefully find out whether (and how) all of the above Tegardens are related and just what that might mean in regard to possible relationship among these various Kiger/Kyger families? Also another wild thought on these Kiger/Kygers. Mary Waldour mentioned above--could this have been the original surname for our elusive Walducks who were behind the family of George W. Kiger of Amanda Township, Fairfield County, Ohio, also listed above? Thoughts, ideas, suggestions? Joan
