William, I would love to know of the Ziegler family. I have been trying to sort out who is who. With the spelling changing frequently, it has been difficult to be sure of who I was looking at. I believe that John Henry is a Jr. and that his father also came from Petersburg, Virginia. But I have no proof just yet. I am still searching and if I find anything else, I'll be more than happy to share.
