320Abraham was born 11 June 1761.1 His father was 640Hans Ulrich Geiger.2 His mother may have been 640Ulrich's wife Apollonia, but I haven't found firm evidence.

On 8 March 1790 he was granted 100 acres of the south side of Pole Bridge Branch in Effingham County, Georgia3 (I haven't determined where Pole Bridge Branch was/is.), and on 2 June 1794 another 100 acres in the same county.4 You may view the plats using the links provided, but for illustrative purposes, part of the first one is copied below.

320Abraham married Mercy ___, who was born 24 April 1771,1 but unfortunately I know nothing else about her.

320Abraham settled in the area of Effingham and Bulloch counties in Georgia. He's listed among the militia of Effingham County, Georgia for the years 1782 and 1794.5,6 In a deed dated 16 January 1815, he's described as of Bulloch County, Georgia.2 (Note that Bulloch County was created in 1796, and that nearly all of its territory had been part of Effingham County a few years prior.)

The abovementioned deed dated 16 January 1815 is the last record I've found of 320Abraham. I have found no estate records, and I don't know where he's buried.

Claiming that the transcription contains numerous errors, researcher Gerald Geiger published his own transcription online. Among other changes, Gerald asserts that 320Abraham's wife's name is Mercy instead of March; I've used Mercy for this profile.
