Grace, all I have on Joshua Geiger is from Chubb Geiger's book and he doesn't seem too sure of his facts about Abraham ("born prob. about 1758")! He names 12 ch. as "reported to be his": "Cornelius; Ephraim; Nathan; Jeremiah and David (born March 15, 1795 and died May 5, 1870; Samuel (born June 1, 1796 and died Sept. 11, 1861); Abraham (born Oct. 3, 1801 and died Nov. 10, 1877); Elizabeth (born July 31, 1803 and died June 6, 1878); then John, James, Jessie, and Joshua. These I am sure, were enough to keep him at home behind a plow. ... You take the tales you hear, the logical child in the logical place and records you can come across and try to decide whose child is whose." This is exactly as he typed it. It's very confusing and for a long time, I thought Jeremiah and David were twins, until I studied his sentence more closely! Elsewhere he says, "James Geiger listed in 1850 Nassau Co., FL, was born about 1808; and Joshua Geiger was born about 1810. Aaron told Abraham that Joshua was working in Jacksonville in 1849." Problem: there is no Aaron in his book and does he mean Abe, Sr. or Jr.? We are planning a research trip up into GA in Aug., ending up in Augusta for a conference. On the way back, we're going to stop over in Jacksonville so that I can visit the library again and take a look at the hardback edition of Chubb's book. I copied off the manuscript before learning that they had a hardback and I'm wondering if it is just the same. Also want to visit Allen Bethel Geiger's grave, etc. Anne Connell, Winter Park, FL
