Hi all, I am sending a second copy of this to correct son Nicholas' birthday from ca 1783 to ca 1763. Another Nicholas Zeigler was born in 1783 but not this one. Actrually, I mistyped.

Last year at the Zeigler Work Table at the Oktoberfest I was the researcher on the Michael Zeigler 1738 line (my wife's) and my friend Jack Zeigler was the researcher on the Jacob Zeigler, Sr., 1740 line (yours). Jack is traveling and I am not sure when he will be back. I will do what I can by quoting from a letter Jack shared with me: THIS LETTER FROM JOSEPH E. STEADMAN, SR. TO MR. ZEIGLER DATED 22 JULY 1971. 2. Jacob Zeigler was born in 1740 as indicated by his father's petition * * * died 1820. * * * In the 1790 Census Jacob Zeigler is listed as a resident of Orangeburg District (North Part), SC. Evidently his sons Nicholas (with wife and children) and Jacob, Jr., then lived with him and his wife. His near neighbors were Andrew Sellers, John Sellers, and Andrew Hauser, Sr. The 1800Census is missing. In the 1810 Census Jacob Zeigler, Sr., is listed as a resident of Orangeburg County, SC. His wife and a young female (10 to 16) then living with him. his near neighbors were A. W. Sellers, ___ Hair, Andrew Zeigler, and George Zeigler. He owned slaves 4 in 1790 and 23 in 1810. The name of Jacob''s wife has not been learned. She was living in 1810 probably about 65. They were the parents of at least 5 sons and a number of daughters, the sons being Nicholas ca 1763, Gottlieb ca 1765, Andrew ca 1767, John b. 1772, and Jacob, Jr. b. 1774 and d. 11 Apr 1837 at 62. I hope this will get you started. I have placed a copy of Mr. Steadman's Zeigler book in the Orange County Library. The original is in the USC Caroliniana Library in Columbia, SC. They also have information on this family in the Calhoun County Library and the Archives/Museum in St. Matthew's, SC. Best regards and good hunting, Bob H. ___
