LEONARD GEIST (1731-?), SECOND SON OF JOHANN GEORGE AND EVA CATHERINE GEIST, CAME FROM GERMANY TO PA. IN 1750, INDENTURED TO SLAYMAKER. HE "MARRIED MISS PICKLE AND WENT WEST TO PITTSBURGH AND NOTHING FURTHER IS KNOWN" ACCORDING TO GEIST BOOK. (CHAPTER ON LANCASTER GEISTS)

LEONARD APPEARS IN 1800 CENSUS FOR ALLEGHENY CO. IN 1810 HE IS NEXT TO JOSEPH GEIST--THE TEENAGER FROM THE PREVIOUS CENSUS? JOSEPH IS A YOUNG MAN WITH A YOUNG FAMILY. IN 1820 LEONARD IS NOT NAMED BUT JOSEPH IS -- WITH AN OLDER MAN IN THE HOUSEHOLD WHO COULD BE LEONARD.

ESTHER (HESTER, HETTIE) GEIST 1810? TO 1893 WAS MY GR-GR-GRANDMOTHER. SHE FITS THE PROFILE OF THE 1820 CENSUS AND HER FUTURE HUSBAND, JOSEPH CLAYPOOLE HIMMEGER, IS A NEIGHBOR!

CAN ANYONE HELP ME PROVE ANY OR ALL OF THIS?
