I have new information on my Ziegler/Zeigler family, so would like to post
again.
GG grandfather BENJAMIN ZIEGLER / ZEIGLER, b. 1847, IA was marrried to MARY
J. TROXEL, b.1849, IA.
Children were:
EMILY ZIEGLER, b. 17 Nov 1869 in Iowa, married 1 Jan 1888 in Rock Rapids,
IA, to MADISON SILAS BOYER (other married names were MURR and SOUTHWELL).
Died in Mtn. Grove, MO 7 Feb 1960.
MAGGIE MELVINA (MELLIE) ZIEGLER, married name of VAN ALLEN, died in
Centralia, WA. Mellie's children may have been Ruby, Clifford, Dorothy and
Ethel. The last three could be grandchildren.
RICHARD ZIEGLER, b 1876, IA.
Benjamin is believed to be living in Fairfield Twp., Jefferson Co., IA. in
1860, with parents SAMUEL ZIEGLER, b. 1796, Switzerland, and CATHERINE, b
1808, Switzerland. The census record also includes siblings Elizabeth, age
30, Esther, age 25, Margaret, age 23, Emma, age 21, Samuel, age 18.
Siblings were all born in OH.
A gene pool search at
Ancestry.com shows Benjamin Ziegler's mother's maiden
name was Catherine B. Katie SNOOK
Would be glad to share photos and information.
