From Floyd's book:
Christopher Geist, a German mineralogist, went from his native land to
England, and from there was sent to Schwenkville, in Montgomery county, Pa., to
manage or superintend a copper mine which is to this day an old landmark of that
district. It is believed that one of the sons of this emigrant located in
Longswamp township, Berks county. We find that one Christopher Geist came to
America in 1740 on the ship "Lydia";
