Compiled By Percy L. Geiger

Presented in this book is the Geiger family history and genealogy, their earliest arrival in (South) Carolina. John Jacob Geiger was granted land at the Santee River, opposite Saxe-Gotha, 1737, the time of the first settlement of the township by the Germans. Several German colonists came mostly from the provinces bordering the Rhine, such as Switzerland, Baden, the Palatinate, and Wurtemburg. They excelled as tillers of the soil, contributing to the prosperity of Carolina.
