I have some information on John Conrad Geib.
Prior to 1747 Johan with his wife and children lived in the village of Bockenau in Dreuznach in the Rheinlad in Germany.
In 1747 he was released from vassalage. Soon after he with his wife and three children departed for America, via Rotterdam. They sailed on the ship "Two Brothers" with Thomas Arnott as captain. Johan Geib wife Margaret, son John, daughter Margaret and another son name unknown arrived in Philadelphia on October 13, 1747. The family of five resided in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, in the Whiteoaks area in the northern part of the county in what is now Penn Township. Records indicate that Johan was born in 1694 and died in 1762 Margaert his wife was born in 1703 and died in 1765.
