This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: ZEIGLER, ZIEGLER, SIGLER Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lh.2ADE/2179.1 Message Board Post: I like nothing more than finding another Hessian soldier with the help of Rootsweb, but I am afraid that Daniel ZEIGLER, born 1784 may be the son of an earlier settler of the Shenandoah Valley. The Name ZIEGLER or SIGLER is mentioned already in 1764 in some books on the history of the Shenadoah County, Virginia. In fact, a George ZIEGLER (SIGLER) was kind of a hero, dying protecting women and children from the Indians. There was one Hessian soldier Wilhem ZIEGELER settling in Washington County, later known as SEAGLER. Sincerely, John H. Merz, researching Hessian soldiers of the American Revolution.
