In 1791 Jacob Zigler died in the Zigler Fort in Sumner Co Tn. His wife escaped with child
and other children captured were later ransomed. His wife Christina Hickerson remarried
a Henry Morris. no further information for her or the children. Daughter Mary Zigler
married John Lester I descend from their son, Samuel who was born in Floyd Co Ky.
later moved to Illinois Coles Co and died in Douglas County. Il. The Lester family
according to family tradition lost their father on Tug River when attacked by Indians
in what is now McDowell Co W.Va. I believe the Lesters were probably from Tazewell Co Va
previously.
Would like to find the correct Lester and Zigler, Ziegler, Zeigler, Hickerson Families
for these ancestors. Any information would be appreciated. Dorothy DeWitt Craft
