The Geist Relation, 200 years in America

George Geist was born in Frederick Township, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania,
now Montgomery County, on October 8th,1766. The way the records show this
youngest son was born after the death ofhis father. When he attained the
age of ten years his mother died and all through his life it was nothing but
sad occurrences for this young man. At the age of about twenty-two years
he went into the tannery business with his brother Valentine but it did not
work so well and while in this partnership with his brother he was married
and had one child, then becoming dissatisfied with the tannery partnership
he decided to leave Berks County and go to the wilds of Northumberland
County, where his brothers Andrew and Samuel had gone. The nearest date
we can set for his moving to this wilderness is 1796 and while he followed
the Tulpehocken Trail, he either missed the right direction or deliberately
switched away from this Trail. At the west end of Keffers on top of the
Broad Mountain the Tulpehocken Trail had a branch leading off to the right
and instead of him going straight he turned right bringing him down the
side of this Broad Mountain into the Hegins Valley which he crossed and
came to the Mahantongo Mountain. This he also crossed and came into the
Mahantongo Valley and crossing the the bigger part of this valley he finally
settled to the southwest of now the Howerter's Church. All these names and
places were unknown atthat time and all they knew was the Tulpehocken
Trail. Another sad occurrentce, that he missed the right trail and
had to cross the mountain ranges while the right trail which his brothers
followed pass through the gaps avoiding thecrossing of the mountain ranges.

Notes:

Although Susanna Derr Smith's death certificate says her parents are Michael "Dree"
and Elizabeth "Moyer", I really think her last name is Boyer. Not only does she fit in
nicely with Philip Boyer's family, but the sponsorship by Salome Boyer (then
Neidlinger) would suggest this relationship. Also the sponsor by George Boyer would
suggest the same. Geographically, Salome lived in the upper eastern tip of Eldred
Twp which is down the valley from the families in Cameron Twps which attended the
same church. Later the Derrs and Boyers are neighbors near Fountain Hill.

The Moyer just doesn't check out anywhere. The person doing the death certificate
already had problems writing Derr (the namein the History of Schuylkill County
writeup on Daniel S. Smith), and the memory of Elisabeth's parents' names may
have long faded.

Since I've found the sponsor evidance, the fact that Salome had a daughter born
at the right time, they are at the church where Michael Derr's first kids are
baptized, that Salome (then Neidlinger) make the trek over to Fountain Springs for
later baptims of Michael Derr and also his daughter, and the similarity of last names
(Boyervs. Moyer), I'm writing up the family with Elizabeth as a Boyer.

Note also that Elisabeth's maternal grandparents, George Geist and Margaretha were
the god parents for Michael Derr (at his baptism) so there might have been a friendly
relationship between the Geist's and Derr's at that early time.

Note alsothe children Lovina born 1852, and Philip born 1855. These would appear
to be named after Elisabeth's brother Philip Boyer and his wife Lovina.
