Immigrated from Switzerland to Pennsylvania in 1727, pages 23-24 - Elizabeth Beery, born in Rockingham Co., Va., April 11, 1771; died April 19, 1856. *Jacob Geil, born in Pennsylvania April 16, 1771; died near Bremen, Ohio, May 21, 1844. Married in 1784 or 1785. They were Mennonites, of which church he was a minister. Another reports that Jacob Geil died May 21, 1840. I am informed that the family record of this Geil family was at some time destroyed during the burning of the home. Hence some of the points are difficult to obtain.-J. H. W.
    Because of the difficulty in securing the points as to this family, and especially the dates of births, I have at present no means of knowing how to place them in rotation, as is customary. They are reported (as supposedly) in the way they belong. If before publication I can learn of the dates of births and interline them, they may show to not be in rotation of births.- J. H. W.
    Children: Abraham [1800]; Christian [1795]; Henry; John; Samuel [July 18, 1818]; Fannie [Sept. 11, 1810]; Rebecca [March 9, 1812]; Polly (Kate); Mary; Sallie [Nov. 15, 1808];
    *    Mr. Geil was a son of Jacob Geil, who emigrated from the Province of Alsace, Germany, to Pennsylvania at the age of 9 years, and at mature age he married Miss. Clymer. They were the parents of ten children, three of whom settled in Fairfield Co.. Ohio, about the year 1805. The old people were Mennonites; Jacob, the subject of this sketch, and his sister Nancy both having married in the Nicholas Beery family.
