Historical Society of Pennsylvania; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Historic Pennsylvania Church and Town Records; Reel: 978.

David and Hannah Geisler had both of their sons, John Marsden and Biddle Reeves Geisler, baptized on 21 MAR 1869 at Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Philadelphia. Between that date, and the 1870 census, the marriage apparently disintegrated, as Hannah Geisler and the two boys are found living with her parents John and Sophia Marsden, and David Geisler was not in the household. By the 1880 census, Hannah was using her Marsden maiden name, and the boys are also listed with the Marsden surname, again in the widowed Sophia Marsden's home. The sons were apparently indoctrinated against their Geisler father, as both used "Marsden" as their surname for their entire lives, and John, in giving the information for his brother's death certificate, gave the father's name as John Marsden. David Geisler, a hotel keeper, remarried to Kate before June, 1880, and lived in Philadelphia until his death in 1898. DLB 2019.

David Geisler died on 17 May 1898 at Philadelphia, Philadelphia Co., PA,
