Hi, I find a George B ZIEBER was called, on the web, a Philadelphia publisher who leant $40 to Isaac SINGER that got him on the road to inventing his version of the sewing machine. I suspect he is the fellow referred to in this paragraph: "William Brisbane Dick was a fortunate man whose life was marked by many auspicious days. Born in Philadelphia in 1826, the son of John and Arabella Dick, he was fortunate in claiming a close relationship with Wesley Burgess, for Burgess was to become head of the firm of Burgess, Stringer & Company, publishers and booksellers in New York. Dick was fortunate, too, in his friendship with Lawrence R. Fitzgerald, born, like him in Philadelphia in 1826, a young man who had received a thorough training in the mercantile business and had served as salesman with the firm of Burgess and Zieber." Now the name ZIEBER is a well-known Montgomery County name! Can you tell me if this George comes from there? The timeframe I am really interested in is circa 1840 or so. Thanks! Vince Summers
