I descend from Katherine ZIGLER (German-born ?), born about 1768. Her father
is said to be Georg ZIGLER, although he was killed by Indians about 1766.
Katherine ZIGLER died near Diamond Cross or New Palestine, Randolph County,
Illinois on 12 November 1843. She married Michael HARMON on 4 February 1786
in Shenandoah County, Virginia, spelling her surname as "ZIGLER" in her
portion of the marriage record.......which she wrote entirely in German. Her
siblings were, I am told:
a. Elizabeth, born about 1748; married John WERTMILLER
b. Susanna, born about 1751; married Stephen SHOWMAN about 1781
c. Margaret, born about 1753; married John MAUER about 1784
d. Magdalene, born about 1755; married John HEISMAN, 7 June 1785
e. Maria, born about 1760; married Conrad DRAWBOARD, 3 June 1785
Thank you.
