1818 - Henry Geise is Born

 "Henry Geise, son of Samuel, was born Jan. 15, 1818, in Ohio, whither his father had emigrated from Mahanoy township, making the trip by wagon. The family remained in that State only one year, however, returning to Pennsylvania and settling in Snyder county. Mr. Geise passed his earlier years in Snyder and Union counties, operating gristmills, and, about 1850 came to Point township, Northumberland county, where he engaged in farming and passed the remainder of his long life, dying July 9, 1900. He is buried at Northumberland. He owned his own farm of eighty-one acres, which he cultivated until his retirement, being succeeded there by his son Samuel, who is now deceased. In religion Mr. Geise was a Lutheran. His wife, Susanna, was a daughter of Henry and Sarah (Frederick) Brouse, of Kratzerville, Snyder county, and they were the parents of two children, Samuel and Henry F. The former was a farmer in Point township; his children were William, Dora, Harvey, Ammon, and Anna (deceased)."

1850 - Residence
1850 United States Federal Census about Henry Gise
Name: Henry Gise
Age: 30
Birth Year: abt 1820
Birthplace: Ohio
Home in 1850: Penns, Union, Pennsylvania
Gender: Male
Family Number: 664
Household Members:
Name Age
Henry Gise 30
Susanna Gise 20
Samuel Gise 2
Sarah Gise        2/12
William Clark 21
The date on this census page is September 24 - so I am estimating that Sarah was born in July.  There is no mention of her in Floyd's History of North'd County, nor is she in the 1860 census.



1850 - Moved to Point Twp, Northumberland County PA
"Mr. Geise passed his earlier years in Snyder and Union counties, operating gristmills, and abou 1850 came to Point township, Northumberland county, where he engaged in farming and passed the remainder of his long life."

1858- Son Henry Franklin Geise is born

Henry Franklin Geise married Mary J. Dagle 20 Jun 1882.
Marriage Record at St John´s Evangelical Lutheran Church


Find A Grave lists 5 children, but I have only found records for one -  but I have not really looked! - a Martin Luther Geise.

Sarah is not listed here, so we assume she died before 1860.  The "Not Yet Named" 9 month old listed in 1860 is listed as male - and would be Henry F. Geise.  It would be interesting to know why he was not yet named at 9 months old.
