Research has finally uncovered the answer to a mystery from the original "Ziegler
Family Record" about the family of Swiss immigrant Philip Ziegler of Rehrersburg,
Berks Country, PA. The Ziegler book shows that Philip's son, John Ziegler, married ___
Stohler (no first name). Mason's later version inserted "Mary." But John
Ziegler actually married Mary's sister, Elizabeth Stohler. In the Dauphin County PA
"Orphan's Court Docket, 1785-1796, Index to Estates - Decedents," one item
references "Anna Maria Stohler administrator of John Stohler of Heidelberg Township
deceased. . ." and that some of the estate assets went to "John Sigler in the
right of his wife Elizabeth Magdalena Stohler." The item was dated March 1789, so
they were married prior to that date.
