Looking for info on Family of George Ziegler. Name was spelled "Sikler" in 1850
US Census- Ava, NY,(formerly part of Booneville) and "Crasler" in 1840 US
Census, Booneville, NY. Married to Elizabeth Eisman (Eisenmann?) and spelled Zeglar in
1855 NY Census. Children born in or prior to 1855 are Catherine and Francis, born to
previous wife - unknown name; Maria, Anna, John and Anthony.
George was born in Germany. Where? When did they come to US, we know it was prior to 1840.
Who was first wife?
In 1870 US Census, Rome, NY, we find an Elizabeth with her husband Lewis Hawkes. In the
same family there are children with the family name of Siegler with the same first names
as the younger children of Frank and Elizabeth in the 1855 NY Census. Is this the same
Elizabeth remarried?
Son Francis (Frank) appears in Rome, NY by 1876 and by 1882 is in "Oneida" or
actually Verona. His wife's first name is Frances. What's her maiden name? She
died in 1882. He married Victoria Hollender in 1884 in Rome and returned to Oneida. Frank
and Victoria are my wife's Grandparents. They had three children Frances (married
Arthur Sheedy), Mary (married Alvin DeFrees) and William (married Elizabeth Nolan and
moved to CT)
We have traced both Catherine, married to Stephen Allbacker and living in Rome then
Verona, NY and Maria who was the 2nd wife of Leopold Frank in Rome, NY
Can anyone provide more information on this family? We would like to get proof of some of
the relationships and the missing name. Also would like info on Frank's younger
siblings (half-siblings).
