Summary: It is presumed that Geshur was the mother of Hypatia (B:17:26), a leading Matriarch that served with Bashia, the High Priestess of Zion (c. 8,845 BCE).

There is a single reference in the 4th Endowment to the ‘waters of Geshur’ (4:6:6). This body of water was located on the first world of Heaven. It was near the waters of Geshur that the spirit children of God gathered before incarnating on the mortal world of Terralee.
