It is recorded that in 1747 he was released from vassalage. A vassel was a minor landowner who had sworn fealty to a lord for a period of time. Very soon after his release he with his wife and three children departed for America, via Rotterdam. They sailed on the ship "Two Brothers" Thomas Arnott, Captain. John Conrad Geib, wife Margaret, son John, daughter Margaret, and another son, name unknown, arrived in Philadelphia on October 13, 1747. There he subscribed to the Oath of Allegiance on that date. His signature is clearly legible and available today in the old ship lists.

(PA Archives, 6th Series, Vol. 7, page 412 -3rd Regiment - Christian Geipe, second class.) Barbara Hoch, wife was the daughter of George Hoch of Warwick Township, Lancaster County, PA and his first wife Elizabeth Smith, whom he married August 6, 1783, Reformed Church, Lancaster. Said Elizabeth was still living March 25, 1793 when her name appeared along with that of her husband George Hoch on a deed of sale pertaining to land in Hempfield Township. However, the said George Hoch named wife Catherine in his will of 1811, thus we many conclude that between 1793 and 1811 Elizabeth died and George married 2nd one Catherine who lived until 1821. George Hoch is recorded as a son of Hans Jerg Hoch and wife Anna Barbara. Lutherans of Warwick Township in Lancaster County, PA. According to record of Emanuel Lutheran Church of Brickerville, Warwick Township, a son Johann George was born to them July 26, 1760 --this is certainly the George Hoch of our record, and father of our Barbara. By 1835 Christian Geib with wife Barbara and family of nine children, most of them young adults, removed to Ohio where they purchased land from the state of Ohio in what was then Richland County, but was taken into Ashland County in 1846. They purchased 80 acres in Section 15 of Milton Township and for it paid $220. This was in Virginia Military Lands. There they resided at Paradise Hill and were buried on their own land. Barbara lived only until 1839, and was survived by her husband Christian who lived until June 15, 1851. However his estate was not settled until 1857. It is this estate settlement which proved to be of great genealogical value for it names th the same sons, daughters, and sons-in-law listed in the family Bible, but for son Henry, listed in Bible record, but not in estate settlement. -FOURTH GENERATION- On September 24, 1857 in Ashland County, Ohio the estate of Christian Geipe was settled.

In 1849 Samuel Geib, wife Martha and their eight children, ages 1-12, removed from Ashland County to Van Wert County, Ohio. They traveled in a covered wagon, so crowded that only the four smallest could ride. The children ages 8-12 walked beside the wagon. In Van Wert County they took up land, built a house and furniture, did spinning and weaving, and produced their food. In 1869 they removed to Marshall County, Indiana, resided 5 miles west of Plymouth, attended the Dunkard Church. In Plymouth daughter Catherine operated a dressmaking shop for some years after the Civil war. She was an expert seamstress and employed at times eight women to assist in the sewing by hand. Sewing machines were just coming into use and they were cumbersome and not at all reliable. In the Indiana home Martha lived only until February 1, 1871. Samuel lived until October 25, 1878. Both are buried in the little old cemetery on a hillside just south of the old Dunkard Church five miles west of Plymouth. ISSUE OF SAMUEL GEIB 1810-1878 AND WIFE MARTHA HARNLEY 1813-1871: -Elias b.
