Abraham Ziegler bought 5000 acres and the town of Harmony, Butler co
Pa.(north of Pittsburgh) in 1815 for $100,000 from the Harmony Society. The
Harmony Society was a communal religious sect of German immigrants that was
moving to Indiana. Abraham attempted to form a Mennonite community around
Harmony but it never really succeeded. Most Mennonites moving west were
attracted to the areas in Ohio and farther west at that time.

others) please send me your name, e-mail address, and which of Michael's
children you descend from. I am the 10th generation descended through
Michael's son, the "bishop" Andrew.
