Brad,
This could be my family, but I haven't found the connection yet. I have
Zeiglers in Cumberland County (Middlesex). Supposedly they came from
Montgomery Co. in 1801. This from the History of Cumberland, by John
Gibson. There were several Philips. I have requested the will and will
let you know, when I get it. I believe Philip (son of Philip) was the
father of my Abraham, born 1794.
Debbie-
Philip, Jr. did move to Cumberland from Montgomery County. But so did two
other brothers, we just don't know which ones (Henry, Andrew, John, Mark)
It appears that son George stayed in Motgomery County. All of Philip,
Jr.s children are accounted for except for one child, but that could
possibly be your "Abraham". Hope this may be of some help. ----Brad Ziegler
