- Title: The Geer Genealogy: A Historical Record of George and Thomas Geer and Their Descendants in the United States from 1623 to 1923
Author: Walter Geer Publication: Norwood, MA: The Plimpton Press, 1923 Repository: Note: Personal Library Media: Book Page: p. 23 & 34-35 [ID# 57] Text: (While Samuel Gear is connected as a son of Jonathan Geer, Jr. (c1688 - 1774) in The Geer Genealogy, y-DNA testing has shown that some of Samuel's descendants do not share the same genetic profile as descendants of George Geer. Therefore, I have separarted this family at Samuel Gear, based on the difference in spelling as Gear rather than Geer. Research on this family is ongoing, STG)
