George Adam Geeting online error
Online histories are not always accurate. Be cautious. In the course of researching my maternal grandfather's lineage I came upon an interesting error. Online histories of this branch of the family indicate that the 5th generation George Adam Geeting was born in 1781 and died in 1863. This George Adam Geeting was actually the 6th generation. The fifth generation left Keedysville about 1820 (leaving behind his eldest son who was Minister in the Mt. Hebron Church)and does not appear in any of the published genealogical trees.. . He would have been about 63 years old at the time. I am still researching his destination. It might have been Preble Cty Ohio, Ogle County Illinois or somewhere else. That is why he is not buried in the Keedy family Cemetery in Eakles Mills, MD. Since I'm in Massachusetts it will take me a while to track him down.My grandfather was Grover Cleveland Keedy. His father was William H. Keedy. His father was John Joseph Keedy (born Boonsboro, 1793) and it appears at this time that his father was most likely George Adam Geeting. I found this George Adam in an interesting, well documented history, The Revolutionary History of Washington County Maryland Patriots by Henry C. Peden.This George Adam was the son of immigrant George Adam Geeting who arrived in 1752 aboard the ship Halifax. He was born 1757 and volunteered to serve in the Revolutionary War from October 23, 1776 to July 26, 1779. His cousins (?)Peter and Jacob Geeting (Gitting, Keedy) also served. Peter died March 18, 1777.Hope this is helpful. If anyone has information on George Adam I would appreciate receiving it.
Alice
