I'm looking for info on the Jacob named above - I know that his name was spelled in
different ways, due to information sent to me from a Historical Society in Pennsylvania.
I have several indisputable facts in regard to Jacob. He had a daughter named
"Susanna" born in 1764 (from her tombstone in Lancaster County). On Nov 8, 1782
Jacob's daughter married Henry Studenroth in Berks County, PA (from Berks County
Church Records).
I have plenty of interesting information and leads...
I have a will abstract from Berks County of a "Jacob Zigler" who died Nov 29,
1797 - widow - Catherine.
I have two baptismal records for children of "Jacob Zieger" in Berks County.
and, I have a record of "Eighteenth Century Emmigrants from German Speaking Lands to
North America...
Neckarbischofsheim Lutheran KB:
Johannes Zieger, formerly a servant at Helmstadt, and wife Eva Catherina nee Heft had:
Johann Jacob, b. 12 Feb 1718
Pennsylvania records
Trinity Lutheran KB, Lancaster:
Jacob Zieger had:
Johann Jacob, b. 16 Jan 1743, bp 16 Feb.
If someone wants to find a Jacob from the eighteenth century, this is what I'm working
on. Let's compare notes.
(I have a record of a Johann Jacob married to an Anna Christina Fischer, and a Johannes
married to a Christina Ziegerin as well. Both immigrated from Germany.)
(I also have a will abstract from Andrew Zigler - may be a son.)
