Greetings, I am a new subscriber to this list. I descend from the immigrant Michael ZIEGLER (1684-1765) of Montgomery County, PA. His great-great grandson, Abraham Ziegler lived in Union/Snyder County approximately from 1850-70 in Chapman Township, probably near the river (possibly McKee Half Falls?). He traveled back and forth to Herndon. Abraham ZIEGLER was born 12 Mar 1813, Montgomery Co., PA. (probably Frederick Tp.) He married about 1833, PA. (prorbably Montgomery County) to Catharine "Katie" WALT (b. 10 May 1812, Montgomery Co., PA.-d. 2 Jan 1901, Wayne Co., MO.) She was the daughter of Solomon and Catherine WALT. They came to Northumberland Co., PA. about 1840 from Montgomery Co., PA. along with Abe's father, Peter. Abe was a stonemason, farmer, and operated a sawmill at Herndon, PA. His sawmill burned down in 1871 or 1872, his mother, a widow, died in 1876, and Abe (now in his 60's) "headed further west" to Webb Tp., Reynolds County, MO. c1878 and later to nearby city of Piedmont, MO. by 1900 with his wife, 4 sons, and one daughter and their families (Henry, Catharine, Solomon, Daniel, & William). There Abe settled down to farming and retired several years before his death 26 Aug 1905, Piedmont, Wayne Co., MO., at age 92 and is buried in Mile Cemetery, Wayne County, MO. along with his wife. Abraham Ziegler's will was written 10 Nov 1904, proved 6 Oct 1905. (I have a copy if anyone is interested.) Children: i. Henry M. ZIEGLER ii. Peter ZIEGLER iii. Andrew M. ZIEGLER iv. Catharine "Katie" ZIEGLER v. Mary ZIEGLER vi. Solomon ZIEGLER vii. David ZIEGLER viii. Daniel A. ZIEGLER ix. Benjamin ZIEGLER, never married, deaf and dumb x. Sarah "Sallie" ZIEGLER xi. unknown ZIEGLER that died young xii. William Willaba ZIEGLER + Mary Agnes BICKEL "William" was his given name, but he also went by the name of "Willaba" later in life. William was born 22 Jan 1858, PA. (probably in Chapman Township, Snyder County). He married about 1878, PA. (probably in Snyder, Perry, or Northumberland County), to Mary Agnes BICKEL (b. 1 Jan c1860, PA., probably Snyder County-d. 24 Sep 1945, St. Louis, MO.) She is daughter of John and Elizabeth BICKEL and is buried at Mt. Lebanon Cemetery, St. Louis, MO. She often went by the name of "Agnes". My Questions: 1) Would like to swap/share info on ZIEGLERS. I have further info on the children listed. 2) Looking for information on any BICKEL family of McKee Half Falls, Chapman Township. 3) Does anyone have information on marriage of William Willaba ZIEGLER to Mary Agnes BICKEL c1878? Blessings, Brad Ziegler Union, MO.
