Hello ---
Receintly found this geneology group and now I am jumping in.
I have been searching for
LEWIS ZEIGLER b: abt 1803 in SC married SARAH
migrated SC>Autauga Co., AL>Jackson Parish, LA
I do not believe my Lewis Zeigler is the same Lewis George Zeigler
(1817-1894 Orangeburg, SC) (son of Jacob Zeigler Jr and Martha Sellers) that
married (1.) Elvira Rickenbaker (2.) Sarah -- at first, I thought, that this
might be my Lewis, but it looks like Lewis George stayed in SC. --- and based
on census reports my Lewis was born about 1803.
My biggest clue is that my Lewis inherited a great deal of money between the
1850-1860 census his estate went from $2500 to $60,000. An undocumented
source says the money was inherited from a relative in VA. But that is all I
have.
J. (John) Jacob Zeigler's AL 1830 Will appoints Lewis Zeigler son-in-law to be
an executor of his estate, this is probably my Lewis Zeigler. But there are
no daughters named Sarah in the will.
If anyone has any information on Lewis or AL and Zeigler's I would love to
hear from you.
