Surname: ZIEGLER, ZEIGLER, MOORE
-------------------------
Need information on Leuvinia ZEIGLER (or ZIEGLER), born about 1840 in South
Carolina, and died about 1884 in Izard Co. Arkansas. She was the youngest
daughter of Henry ZEIGLER and Rachel DANTZLER, who supposedly went from
the Orangeburgh Dist., S.C to Leon Co. FL, where Henry died in 1857.
The 1850 census of Leon Co. shows head of household Henry ZIGLER, age 50;
Rachel, 42; with children: Margaret, 20; Jessee (m) 16; Sylvanus (m) 15;
Leavinia, 10; and Edmundo (m) 21. Research has shown that some of the
children
of this family had at least three given names.
In the adjoining county of Jefferson, the 1850 census shows a Wesley Moore
age 16 living in the household of Paul H. HARLEY, whom I believe was
Lavinia's
first husband. No other census has been found for Wesley Moore.
Recorded on page 3, Marriage Book WA of Leon County, is the marriage of
John W. MOORE to Barbara Ann ZEIGLER on 14 August 1858. They were married
by T. Taylor.
Family tradition says that Wesley Moore died during the Civil War. Leavinia
and Wesley Moore had a son, Jacob Wesley Moore, born 15 June 1859 in Florida
and died 18 Sept 1944. His death certificate gives his parents names as
Wesley Moore and Lue Zigler, both born in Florida.
Leavinia's second marriage was to a young soldier serving from Georgia.
It is recorded on page 269 of the Jefferson Co. Marriage that on 11 April
1864 a license was issued to William RODGERS and Miss Lewvina Moore. They
were married on 12 April 1864, by Thos Taylor, the same person who preformed
her first marriage.
[The writting of her given name is difficult to read but it looks like
Lewvina or Leuvina. Later census records give her name as either Vina or
Leavina.]
At the end of the war they returned to his home in Dade Co. GA. Eleven
children were born to that union, the first daughter named "Ann" and the
last named "Barbara Levinia."
I need corroborating data to support the idea that Lavinia Zigler was in
fact the same person as Barbara Ann Zeigler who married John W. Moore;
and that John W. Moore was the same person as "Wesley Moore." There are
no other Zeigler/Moore marriages recorded in that area.
Would like to contact any of Henry Zeigler's descendants.
