Third Generation. 2: 2) Jacob Geil, born in Pennsylvania, April 16, 1771, died May 21, 1844. Elizabeth Beery, born in Rockingham Co., Va., April 11, 1771, died April 19, 1856, near Bremen, Fairfield Co., Ohio. Another report says that Jacob Geil died May 21, 1840. They were married in 1784 or 1785. I am informed that the record of these Geil families was destroyed during the burning of their home; hence some of the data are difficult to obtain. For this reason those children who have no dates of birth may riot be placed in proper rotation. Bremen, Fairfield Co., Ohio. Mennonite minister.
