WARE

Asa Geiger was born in Bryan County in 1799, son of Abraham and Mary Geiger, and grandson of Ulrick Geiger (Kegar), a German emigrant to Georgia in the days of Oglethorpe. His first wife was named Nancy but her maiden name is unknown. Born to them were the following children:

1. James Williamb. 1821, Ga., m. Abegail Daugharty.
2. Rebeecab. 1828, Ga., m. Thomas E. Thomas.
3. John A.b. 1830, Ga., m. Arminda Fullwood, dau. of Thos. Jr.
4. David E.b. 1832, Fla. m. Matilda Corbitt, dau. of Daniel.
5. Amandab. 1835, Ga., m. William C. Bennett. Moved to Fla.
6. Nancyb. 1837, Fla. m. Richard Corbitt.

Asa Geiger removed from Bryan County in 1830 to Gadsden 'County, Fla., and two or three years later moved back to Georgia and lived in Lowndes County In the portion later cut into Brooks County. He then moved to Jefferson County, Fla., 1833 but was back in Lowndes County in the 1840 census. His Jefferson County home was on a tract of 80 acres in Section 4, Township 2, which he joined by his wife Nancy sold to Daniel Lingo, Feb, 7, 1835 (Deed Book "C", page 48, Jefferson County). On Aug. 13, 1840, lot of land 43, 16th district of Lowndes (now Echols County) was granted him by the State, it having been drawn by him in the 1820 lottery while living in Bryan County. He moved there to that location and lived there until he moved to Ware County in 1843, where he settled in the present Manor district.

Following his first wife's death about 1845, Mr. Gelger married Mrs. Fannie (Frances) Bennett, born 1800 in North Carolina, widow of John Bennett (Vol. I), and sister to Thompson Harris (Vol.I) and Hampton Harris (Vol,111). There were no children born by that marriage.

Asa and Nancy Geiger were charter members of Bethlehem Primitive Baptist Church in present Brooks County, Nov. 29, 1834. They transferred their membership to Unity Church in Lowndes County, March 16, 1842, from Bethlehem; and on May 27, 1843, were granted letters of dismission by Unity and they moved their membership to Providence Church, Ware County. He served as church clerk there 1860-61, and died a member about 1873. He and his wives were buried at Providence Church; graves unmarked.
