Orphan's Court Records of Lancaster County, 9 June 1791 document the following:

H. Geiger &
Sus. Geiger
Deceased
Copied

"ELIZABETH GEIGER a minor daughter of Henry Geiger and Susanna his wife late Susanna Dehuff both of the Borough of Lancaster deceased being above the age of fourteen years comes into Court and chooses Christian Stake of the Borough aforesaid guardian over her person and estate during her minority And the Court approves of and appoints the said Christian Stake her guardian accordingly".

H. Geiger &
Sus. Geiger
Deceased
Copied

"THE COURT appoints Michael Musser of the Borough of Lancaster guardian over the persons and estates of John Geiger and Jacob Geiger minor children of Henry Geiger and Susanna his wife both late of the Borough of Lancaster aforesaid deceased, the said minors being severally under the age of fourteen years during their minority".

Their is no mention of a fourth child, son Christian GEIGER, who would have been nearly 8 years old at the time.

I am seeking any additional information on the prior nature of the association of the GEIGER, STAKE and MUSSER families, as well as information as to the disposition of those custodies/ guardianships and the estates left by Henry GEIGER and Susanna DEHUFF GEIGER.
