My ZIEGLER family started in Pennsylvania with the arrival Johannes Leonhart ZEIGLER. From
Pennsylvania, he moved to Culpeper, VA. After many years the family made it's way down
to the Surry/ Stokes County area of North Carolina and arrived there around the
1790's. By the time they got to NC they changed the spelling of our name to ZIGLAR.
Leonard Ziglar, the grandson of the original Johannes Leonhardt Zeigler, was the father of
my great, great grandfather John Ziglar. His son Julius A. Ziglar and his wife, along with
my grandfather, Julius Jesse Ziglar and his two sisters, migrated through the Cumberland
Gap into Pulaski Co. KY. in the 1890's. My father, Chester Ziglar migrated to Indiana
in the late 1920's, early 1930's.
