Looking for information regarding Albert Ziegler, my husband's GGGGGgrandfather.
He enlisted with the Young Royal Highlanders (2nd battalion, 6th Company)under John Small
in July 1775 (probably in Boston). He was in Halifax Nova Scotia in 1778 where he married
Mary Trapolet, and lived in the province until his death in 1820.
His father's (Anglicized) name was John C. He was a Hessian soldier---presumably
during the French Indian War.
I am wondering if anyone knows ANYTHING about this family (pre-1775)...has encountered
them in their own family trees....
Why was a Ziegler enlisted in a Scottish Regiment, how did he get to Boston, how long were
they in the states for, where did they come from, who was Albert's mother????
Questions questions questions.....
ANY leads would be greatly Appreciated....THANK YOU!!!
