Hello,
I am attempting to sort out the information I have on my ZEIGLERs (all
spelling, including SIGLAR, etc) who lived in Perry Co, PA from approx. 1830
to 1920. I have census records for some of them but some seem to have simply
disappeared.
Here is a brief overview of what I know.....
My earliest ancestor, Martin ZEGLER (per his tombstone) moved from Adams Co,
PA to Perry Co, PA (Newport/Oliver Twp area) between 1820 and 1830. He
supposedly was connected to either DEARDORFFs and/or FICKES families in this
move. He and his wife Susannah had 11 children that I know of (John M.,
Amos, Henry B., Philip, Elizabeth, Susannah, Mary Ellen, Margaret, Martin,
Jacob, and Mary).
Quite a few of the men in my lineage died at early ages so the wives most
likely remarried. I am trying to find them.
The two children that I am having the most trouble with are Amos and
Susannah. I don't know when they were born or where they got to. I have
nothing on Amos other than a mention of him in a family file. The only info
I have on Susannah is that she supposedly married " the widower of Widower
Of Catharine REITER TRESSLER.
Here is a list of surnames that intermarried with my ZEIGLERs in Perry Co.
