Jan: What is your source data for Samuel Henry Keim's mother being Elizabeth Geiger? I have not been able to find a reliable source for the marriage order, but have noted in my database: "George had 2 wives: Elizabeth GHEER/GIER/GEIR/GEIGER and Elizabeth MUSSELMAN. It is not known in which order that they were married, or who had which children. We can presume that George was married to Elizabeth Musselman bef 1776 (There was a George Musselman KEIM b. in 1776). My thought on the order of marriage is that George Married Elizabeth Musselman 1st and Elizabeth GHEER 2nd. My reasoning is this: George receives the KEIM homestead in 1762. He leaves the estate to his wife Elizabeth when he dies aft. 6/1807. The KEIM burial plot where Johannes (b 1675) is buried is noted as being on the GHEER farm in 1894." Also, Bollerin is feminine in German for Boller -----Original Message----- From: Jan Keim [mailto:hankjan@mstar2.net] Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2001 9:38 PM To: KEIM-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [KEIM] Keim generations Here is my husband's Keim line: His grandfather - Ira Otto Keim - b: 1877 - d: 1967 Indiana s/o Constantine Schular Keim - b: 1843 PA - d: 1927 Indiana s/o Samuel Keim - b: 1810 PA - d: 1875 Indiana s/o Samuel Henry Keim - b: 1769 PA - d: 1843 PA s/o George Keim - b: 1733 PA - 1st wife Elizabeth Geiger s/o Johannes Hans Keim - b: 1675 Germany - d: 1753 PA 2nd wife Mary Elizabeth Bollerin s/o Johann Keim - b: 1647 Germany s/o Ludwig Hercourt Keim Jan Keim hankjan@mstart2.net ==== KEIM Mailing List ==== Perhaps the best place to start your search.....

Jeff, sorry it took me so long to reply to your email. I have lost my reference to George Keim m Elizabeth Geiger. I just recently received it - we just moved and I'm not organized yet. However, I also have this George m Catherine Schenkel 11 Apr 1774 Springfield, Philadelphia, PA. I will email more info when I get organized again. Thanks for your input.
