From the book "Virginia and Virginians"

CAPT. JACOB J. GIESLER.
The Geisler family is, as the name indicates, of German descent, and the founder of the family in America settled in Pennsylvania. From that State Adam Geisler, father of Jacob J., went to Sullivan county, Tennessee, with his father, about 1810. In Tennessee he married Mary M. Devault, whose father went from Pennsylvania to Tennessee about 1810, also. Jacob J., their son, was born near Piney Flats, Sullivan county, Tennessee, February 19, 1833. He has been many years a resident of Washington county, Virginia, engaged in farming and milling, living at Meadow View. Since 1871 he has held the office of school trustee. At the residence of the bride's parents, where she was born, near Morrells Mills, this county, he married, December 10, 1856, Catharine D. Morrell. Their children are two sons, Jacob M., William H., and two daughters, Mary R., Nore E.
Mrs. Geisler is a daughter of Jacob Morrell, who was a native of Augusta county, Virginia, and whose father came from France to Virginia at an early date. In 1827 Jacob Morrell married Mary A. Droke, of Sullivan county, Tennessee, bringing her to the Morrell home in Washington county.
From April, 1862, to April 1865, Capt. Geisler was in the Confederate States Army, commanding Company F, 59th Tennessee Infantry. He was under Pemierton at Vicksburg and Lee at Appomattox, and in much gallent field service received several ball and sabre wounds. His twin brother, Henry D., was major of the same regiment, and killed near Abingdon, December 1864, while resisting the advance of Stoneman's Cavalry, in their raid on the salt works. Newland DeVault has the wrong Jacob Giesler family listed in his book. The family he has listed are of this Jacob Giesler's uncle, who also happens to be a Jacob Giesler.

GIESLER
ADAM MARY DEVAULT
1787 -- 1868 1796 -- 1876

MARY
1849 -- 1880

I believe that the Mary (1849 - 1880) shown on this stone was Adam and Mary (DeVault) Giesler's granddaughter, Mary Catherine (Akard) Giesler, wife of William Hicks Giesler. In a genealogy prepared by S. J. Latture, Abingdon, Virginia, dated June 1932, Mary Catherine was actually born on 22 Feb 1848 and died on 07 Aug 1879. This stone is in the Giesler-Feathers-DeVault Cemetery in Piney Flats, Sullivan Co., Tennessee, however, cemetery records suggest that she is actually buried in the Riley Cemetery, Sullivan Co., Tennessee.
