Zeigler Line to Lester E. Lewis

In most instances, I found the spelling to be  before i - but I did find it both ways.  Zeigler/Ziegler.  Barnhart Ziegler came to America when his daughter Elizabeth was 12, so around 1846/7.  I did find a ships list with a Barnhart arriving in 1846 to Baltimore, but belive it or not, Barnhart Zeigler is not a completely unique name, so I can't be sure it is him.  I find no trace of the family until 1849, when Elizabeth is baptized in a church in Lycoming County.  Her brothers Frederick and Henry are even more elusive, there is not much I could find on the family as a whole, but I have not been to the Lycoming Genealogy room to see what might be there, and I have not looked at any wills yet. Charles Zeigler, son of Barnhart, was born here in America, in Lycoming County PA.  He had 11 children, and 6 of them never married.

Many of the Zeiglers are buried at Oak Lawn Cemetery, a trip there to view the tombstones may add additional information.
