    *** The date of birth of the above Mary Geil conflicts with the date of birth of her youngest son Abraham Godshalk. It may be more possible for Mary Geil to have been married in 1780 than to be born on that date which is only 11 years before her youngest son was born.     J. H. W.

  2. [S506] Note: Mary's birthdate appears to be in error, as included and noted by Joseph Wenger in his Geil History, as she would not be old enough to have her children as date was given for her youngest and per early census reports. It seems like she must be the first born child of Jacob & Anna. klm.
