Hello,
I have run into two lines of Ziegler one spelled as above and some spelled
with the ie. I guess like all the others they are from same but just went
different ways and ended up with different spellings.
One is John Zeagler born Orangeburg County SC ca 1778 and married Sara
Lavica or spelled various ways. Had daughter Nancy that married a John
Valentine and came to MS and then on to LA. (Another daughter (Caroline)
married another Valentine son, Levi, also.
The other line is Zachariah Zeagler and born 19 Aug 1776 a son of Michael
Jr. married to a Sarah Baggott. Is this the same line both sons of
Michael in Orangeburg SC they both ended up in MS and LA. This Zachariah
had daughter Martha Ann married Robert Henry Johnson 1846 in LA.
Any help straighting this out will be appreciated. It is on two different
sides of the family and makes an interesting connection years later.
I will be happy to share info on lines running down from these.
