Introduction For a number of years, my ambition has been to trace n1y ancestors to the one who came from Ger many. I knew it must have been in the Early Colon ial period. When publishing "Father and Son," a life-sketch of my father, Rev. Dr. Henry Ziegler, and of myself, I could not say that my father descended from a certain Ziegler ,vho came across at a definite time. This, therefore, was my problem. Collecting material for our Family Tree began. in a leisurely manner, more than thirty years ago. The Author The serious effort, however, was started about two years ago. Plans were completed the past summer for an extended visit to Pennsylvania, in order to form the acquaintance of our numerous relatives. and to visit the places where great grandfather, Peter Ziegler, and my father lived.
A Ziegler family reunion was held in Hasson Park, Oil City, Pennsyl vania, August 26, 1933, with more than two hundred present. A Peter Ziegler Association was effected, Captain Harley Jacob Ziegler of Franklin being elected President: E. Willard Ziegler of Oil City, Vice President: Miss Nora Bell Ziegler of Oil City, Secretary-Treasurer. The Association unanimously ·; agreed to have the "Tree" published, the writer being the compiler. Subsequently, I visited Center, Clinton, Huntingdon, Blair, Snyder, Perry, York and Lebanon counties, Pennsylvania, also Baltimore, Maryland, From the York. County Historical Society I received a voluminous transcript of all the Ziegler records available in the county. This has been invaluable. It points the ,vay to our great ancestor, Peter Ziegler's grand-father, Nicholas Ziegler. \vho landed in Philadelphia. September 16, 1738.

Ziegler Family Tree In Germany
The Ziegler name originated in Germany. Ziegler means "tile:" a Ziegler is a tiler, a manufacturer of or dealer in tile and tile kilns. The name. Ziegler, therefore, is of commercial origin.
A principal branch of the family in Germany is organized as the ~.iegler Familien Verein. Mr. Otto Ziegler of Dresden is president. They had their origin in Langensalza in Thuringia, where some of the direct descen dants still live. '
In 1928 there was completed a Ziegler Chronic, that contains more than 500 related families, and dates back to 1378. The Ziegler escutcheon displays a Golden Griffin on a blue field, and it can be seen on the sarcoffagus of Rev. Doctor Eobanus Ziegler, a cotemporary of Martin Luther, and who is buried in ~e cathedral at Erfurt. It is interesting to not~. also, that Luther's mother was Margarethe Ziegler.
8 ZIEGLER FA~IILY TREE
In America
The commercial origin of the Ziegler name accounts largely for thE numerous fan1ily groups in America, having no immediate connection one wid another. The first United States Census, of 1790, enumerates 29~ Zieglers, 55 ol whom were heads of families distributed as follows: Massachusetts, 1; Pennsyl vania, 41: Maryland, 5: Virginia, 1: South Carolina, 7. The average size of family was 6. 3. The name was variously spelled: Ziegler, Zeagler, Zeggelar, Zegler, Zeiger. Zeigler, Zigler. Several prominent groups are included in this list of 55 families Michael Ziegler, generally referred to as the Ziegler pioneer in Pennsylvania was naturalized in Philadelphia in 1730. He came to America before 1717 He was born about 1680. With two other brothers, he settled in Montgomei,? Country formin~ the town of Zieglerville. The original farm has remained ir:; the Zieglar family until recently. _ Christ Lutheran Church of York, Pennsylvania, the first Lutherat~ church in York County, was organized in t 733. In the list of 24 heads oil families appear the names of Philip. John George and Jacob Ziegler. It i~ Jikelv that these three were brothers. John George and Philip came over in 1727.
NICHOLAS ZIEGLER came over in the QUEEN ELIZABETHi September 16, 1738. NICKLAS ZEGLAR arrived on the EDINBURG, Sept4 ember 16, 1751. All the evidence points to NICHOLAS as our GREA1' ANCESTOR. He lived and died in Codorus Township, York Count'Yj Penn$ylvania. It is likely that John George, Philip, Jacob and NICHOLA:t were closely related. ·! Not less than a score of Zieglers from Yark County are listed as servin!' in the Revolutionary War. Among them are Jacob, Nicholas, Michael, an Peter. The services of Major David Zieglar. not of York County, are we known. He was born in Germany in 1748, and served with Washington H 1777--78. Later he became the first mayor of Cincinnati. In the Boundary Dispute between Pennsylvania and Maryland in which Marylanders attempted to preempt land along the Susquehanna river aln1ost t, York, ~ group of settlers, including Jacob Seglar, Jacob Seglar, Jr., and Philifi Seglar, becoming convinced that the territory rightly belonged to Pennsylvani~ joined with others in issuing a protest to Governor Oglevie of Maryland. j: which they say in part: "We therefore .... do resolve to return to our dut•,: · and live under the laws and Government of Pennsylvania, in which Provine, we believe ourselves seated ...... "Signed with our own hands this eleventh day of August Anno Dorr 1736." On October 21, 1736, Gov. Oglevie issued a warrent for the arrest d .. ZIEGLER FAMILY TREE these parties-" for contriving signing and publishing a seditious paper and writing against his Lordship and his government." The real historic justification for this declaration by the Seglars and others, is the assurance of Thomas Penn, given about this time, that he would issue patents to persons who had settled by his permission on lands in Lancas ter county (now. York,) on the west side of the Susquehanna river, in a tract of about 70,000 acres, surveyed in 1722, "commonly called the Manor of Springetsbury, so soon as the separate tracts could be surveyed." The ten years delay in the issuing of such patents was caused by "the claim made to said lands by the Indians of the Five Nations, which claim the said Indians have now effectually released to us." Rupps Thirty Thousand Na mes, a list of those landing in Philadelphia in Colonial times, includ·es the names of numerous Zieglers arriving at many different times. What the relation of many of these qroups to one another is, and wliat their relation to the parent stems in the districts from which they came. is certainly problematical. They were Catholics, Protestants, Jews and Mennonites, coming principally from Germany, France and Switzerland. ?Todav. the Ziegler family is well nioh innumerable. and is scattered throughout ;the States from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
PETER ZIBGLBR GENEALOGY
. NICHOLAS ZIEGLER, who lived and died in Codorus Township. York county. Pennsylvania, is accredited by the York County Historical Society as being our great ancestor. He was born about 1710. He arrived on the Queen Elizabeth, September 16, 1738. The name frequently appears in the York County annals. His wife's name ,vas Catharine. She is supposed to have been the daughter of John George and Catharine Sohn. This has not been verified-it is probable that it is not correct. His will was probated June 3-July 25, 1791. The children were: Elizabeth. married Adam Fissel: Catharine. married John Henich; Jacob (deceased): Michael, oldest son; Nicholas.
MICHAEL ZIEGLER of Codorus Township, oldest son of Nicholas and Catharine Ziegler. His wife's name was Catharina. The will was probat~ ed Sept. 23-0ct. 22, 1814. The children were: Peter, Jacob, Elizabeth, John, Philip. Catharina, George, Michael, Nicholas, Susanna ,Rachel. 11Peter to have. ~y blacksmith shop... The name Michael also appears frequently in the York county annals. There mrty be some question as to which Nicholas is our ancestor. the one- ,ve have selected. or the Nicklas Zeglar who came across in t 751. The evidence 5eems to point to the former.

The final settlement came in the form of the Mason and Dixon Line, in 17613--1767. · John and Elizabeth Ziegler Keith settled in the ,vilds of I-luntingdon county, about twenty miles south east of the town of Huntingdon.

JACOB ZIEGLER, my grand father, the oldest son of Peter Ziegler; born Dec. 5, 1 791, in York county, Pennsylvania. He married Catharine Lesher, October 15, 1815. Mrs. Ziegler was born September 10, 1798. They lived for a time at the Ziegler homestead, near Earleytown, west of Old Fort. From 1826 to 1828 Jacob Blacksmithed in Sinking Valley, ( Pleasant Valley), near the Pleasant Valley Lutheran church: from 1828 to 1830 near Petersburg, at Neffs Mills. From there they removed to Maple Shade, Cranberry Town-· ship, Venango county, in 18'30. Jacob Ziegler died May 4, 1868. Mrs. Ziegler died Jan. 9, 1875. They are buried in the church yard of the Lutheran church that stood on the corner of grand father's farm. Mr. and Mrs. Ziegler landed in Venango county with one horse, a cow, his blacksmith tools, and about fifty dollars. They settled on 150 acres of timber and brush land. ,, Catharine Lesher Ziegler is a descendent of Col. John Lesher, who with his father, Nicholas Leshere, came to Oley Valley, Berks county, Pa., as early as 1726. They were French Huguenot refugees. Mrs. Ziegler's mother was a Minnich, she was desended from Baron Munch of France, who, because of his conversion to Protestantism, "during the reign of Louis XIV, was stripped of his possessions, his chateau burned, and he himelf killed." His kinsmen in 1685 fled to Germany. Simon Munch and his brother, Peter, descendents of Baron Munch. came to Oley Valley in 1736. Simon's son, Christopher, of Bernville, had twelve children. His daughter, Catharina, married George Lesher, about 1797. As near as has been ascertained, these are the parents of Catharine 'I ZIEGLER FAMILY TREE Lesher Ziegler. If this is correct, then Jonathan Miles Lesher, who lives on his farm near Franklin, Pa., and who has been blind for many years. and upon, whom I called. would seem to be a son of my grand mother's brother, and my father's first cousin. ' Jacob and Catharine Ziegler had seven chldren: Henry; Mary; Susan; John Jacob; David; Catharine; Martin. A. REV. HENRY ZIEGLER, D. D., my father, was born August 19,' 1816, on the home farm west of Old Fort. From ten to fourteen years of age he worked at his father's blacksmith anvil. After removing to Venango county. in 1830, he assisted in grubbing out the farm. and worked for neighbors in Winter, splitting rails and flailing v.rheat, helpin~ to support the family. Immediately after his conversion, in 1834, he started a movement which resulted in the organizing of a Lutheran church, the entire family uniting with the same, services being held in his father's barn. The following year, 1835, he walked to Gettysburg, 250 miles, carrying all his possessions on his bac~. entering Pennsylvania College, in preparation for the Lutheran ministry. I-fe graduated from the Seminary in 1843. He immediately became co-pastor with: Father J. P. Shindel at Selinsgrove, (including Sunbury, Lewistown, Mifflin~. burg and Liverpool), introducing English preaching in the entire community. · From 1845 to 1850 he served as Missionary Superintendent for the_, newly organized Pittsburg Synod, in western Pennsylvania, travelling 11,0()Q< miles on horseback, £or a compensation 0£ $1.500. including perquisites, for· the five years. From 1850 to 1853 he served the Williamsport pastorate com,~. posed of six congregatjons. In 1852 he organized the First English Lutheran church of Williamsport. The original building still stands on Third Street. From 1855 to 1858 he served the Salona charge, which also was composed of six congregations. In several of the churches noted "revivals" were conducted. He was an ardent revivalist, at the same time insisting oil catechetical instruction. ·. In 1858, he became the co-founder with Dr. Benjamin Kurtz of the Missionary Institute-Susquehanna University-at Selinsgrove. During his incumbency as theological teacher and general superintendent, he prepared. one hundred men for the Lutheran ministry. Through these twenty three years, until 1881, he did the work of three men. During his years of retirement, he prepared the copy for an enlargement of Luthers Small Catechism, which. was. adopted by the church as its official text book. He died at Selinsgro-ve, Novemb&- 26, 1898., triumphant in the Christian faith. . . .. Henry Ziegler was united in marriage 'to Eliza App at Selinsgrove, May.19, 1844. Mrs. Ziegler is a daughter of John App, who was a prominent farmer in the Susquehanna Valley. It is due to his generous donations that the Missionary Institute was located at Selinsgrove. THE APP FAMILY Mathias App, the first of the family to locate in Penns Township, neat Selinsgrove, appears to have come from Northampton county. "Already in 1766, "App's Mill" two miles north of (old) mouth of Penns Cree1c, is men- s ZIEGLER FAMILY TREE tioned in Maclay's Surveys." It is likely that he is a son of Christian App. who landed in Philadelphia, Oct. 16, 1751. Mathias App was twice married.

Philip Ziegler, father of John Sharp, was born about 1746; died in York Co., Aug. 4, 1829. Philip and Margaret had the following children: Juliana, Catharine, John Sharp, Sarah and Mary Ann; the last three being minors at the time of their father's death. Just how Philip Ziegler and our ancestor, Peter, are related is uncertain. It was thought that they were brothers; this is not likely, however. My father considered the Perry County branch as closely related to our line. It is probable that Philip is a son of Philip Ziegler, Sr., who was one of the twenty four original n1embers of Christ Lutheran Church, York, Pa., in 1733.
