Elizabeth, I checked the Mason book to no avail. I see no listing for Martin however, Leonhardt is listed as son of Philip Ziegler II and Elizabeth Smith. I did find a Leonard Ziegler son of John and Mary Stohler lived near Rehrersburg PA. and leonard had a son named MANUEL. says leonard's family lived near Lititz PA no dob for Manuel but shows he has younger brother John b. 1816 Martin could be a middle name but this book is 700 pages of Ziegler family. If you have more clues i can try and help more. ----- Original Message ----- From: "elizabeth" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2011 1:20 AM Subject: [BRE] New and seeking help with surname ZEIGLER/ZIEGLER in book > Hello, > > I just joined this list after receiving some information from some kind > soul > on another list.
