Henry Thomas Zeigler - @Henry Thomas Zeigler

yes you are right..i do not believe that i added those others (children or siblings) on the profile..i will try to disconnect if able to...thanks

it seems i can't disconnect ie remove anna catherine from the profile as his wife nor the children listed..i did not add them so maybe the person who did can do it. I did however add the information from the Orangeburg German- Swiss Genealogy Society

Thanks, but the information from the Orangeburg Swiss-German group is unreliable and I can't get them to correct it. Their page on Jacob Zeigler says he died before 1818. No. I am a direct descendant of Jacob and Anne Catherine Zeigler.
In 1817 they were on their way to settle Autauga County in what is now Alabama with eight of their 11 children in a wagon train with about 20 other Orangeburg families.
Two years later there was another big migration and the Orangeburg group should be aware of that because it is well-documented here in Alabama. Jacob didn't die until 1830. Are we cousins?

i don't see how you think their information can be unreliable...my ancestor is called John Jacob..i know of the Jacob Zeigler in Alabama because of the historic house that was in the news years ago when i was researching...my John Jacob only shows 3 sons George, William, and Henry where as your Jacob shows many mentioned in a will of different names except for Henry. Your Henry is not the same as mine.. My Henry shows his wife Rachel Dantzler and they are buried next to each other at Union Cemetery in Florida which is exactly where my Zeigler family initially is from and in South Georgia. I think they have that information correct. I can not disconnect the wrong wife and children and sibling names connected to my John Jacob because someone merged where they shouldn't have with the Jacob you mention. Maybe you can contact Geni and see if a curator can disconnect them...and yes, we very well may be connected cause there is surely a relative connection from Orangeburg Zeiglers .... i just think its confusing because everyone named their children after their siblings or mothers and fathers and there are so many of the same name...thats why its important to look at other name connections through the wives family to get to know who is who.

RE: Zeigler information.
Again, the information published on the Orangeburg Swiss-German site about Jacob Zeigler is all wrong. It is well-known he was married to Anne Catherine Wannamaker.
Her grandfather Johann Jacob Wannamaker arrived in America on Nov. 9,1738 on the ship Charming Nancy at age 24. He was born April 27, 1714 to Johann Wingard and Maria Magdalena Hoffman Wannamaker and baptized August 18, 1715 in the Speyer district, Germany.
Johann settled in the Orangeburgh District of South Carolina where he met his wife Anna Catherina Schuler.
Anna Catherina was born October 17, 1720 to John Schuler and Anna Lauer in Lambsborn, Homburg, Bavaria, Germany.
Johann and Anna Catherina married December 3, 1740 in Orangeburg.
Their daughter Anne Catherine was born there and baptized on March 5, 1760 by the Rev. John Geissendanner in the St. Matthew’s Church.
Anne Catherine Wannamaker married John Jacob Zeigler at the end of the Revolutionary War.
They were among the first settlers of Autauga County in what is now Alabama in 1817, arriving with eight of their 11 children.
Their children, all born in South Carolina, were:
1. Jane Elizabeth (1784 - November 8, 1835). She married George Spigener and died in Autauga County. Both are buried in the Zeigler family cemetery at Coosada. Her’s is the oldest marked grave there.
2. John Jacob Jr. (1788 - after 1857) stayed behind in Orangeburg with his wife Mary Haigler.
3. Rachel Maria (born 1790 - died June 11, 1834) also remained in Orangeburg. She was married to Jacob Culler.
4. John William (March 16, 1791 - June 16, 1845) was called William. He came to Alabama with his wife Nancy (1789 - May 28, 1852) in 1817 and their first child Joel was born in Alabama -- the first Zeigler of our line.
5. Daniel (about 1793 - after 1860) remained in South Carolina.
6. Henry (1796 - October 1838) married Delilah Whetstone in Autauga County. She was born in South Carolina in 1798 and died July 28, 1834, four years before Henry. She was the daughter of the Rev. Jacob Whetstone. They are buried in the Zeigler Cemetery.
7. Mary Magalena (November 1799 - died 1854-1856) married John Douglas Graves in Autauga County. It isn’t known where she is buried.
8. Nancy (1800 - after 1860) married Henry Zeigler (born about 1803), brother of Lewis Zeigler, (of a distantly related SC family) who married her sister Sarah. They are listed in the 1850 Wetumpka beat census. Henry was a farmer. They had one child, also named Henry. It is unknown where the couple is buried.*
9. Sarah “Sally” (born April 25, 1806 - died after 1856) married Lewis Zeigler, born about 1803. They are also listed in the 1850 Wetumpka beat census. They had five children and migrated to Jackson Parish, Louisiana by 1856. There is an Old Zeigler Cemetery there, but there is no stone for them.
10. Nicholas (1808 - before 1858) died in Coosa County, unmarried, with his estate going to his siblings.
His is the only Zeigler grave in the Nixburg Methodist Church cemetery.
11. Mariah (September 1812 - January 16, 1899) married the Rev. Albert Crumpler (November 29, 1808 - November 29, 1882), a Methodist minister and successful Sylacauga merchant who was featured in the book Distinguished Men of Alabama. Both are buried in the Sylacauga Cemetery.
Jacob Zeigler died in 1830 and wife Ann Catherine in 1833. Both are buried in the Old Zeigler Cemetery at the outskirts of Prattville, AL.

There is no Henry Thomas Zeigler or a Dantzler anywhere in our family

pretty sure the Genealogical society DOES NOT have their information wrong....there were 3...again THREE, Jacob Ziegler's living in South Carolina at that time...the website does not show that MY John Jacob Zeigler was married to Anna Catherine Wanamaker, it says wife unknown...but it shows the deed that mentions his son George and Henry!! The land was on Pope Spring Creek and consisted of portions of tracts surveyed for Bernard Zeigler and Casper Zeigler, among others. The tract George was selling was bounded by land of William Zeigler. Given the location of the property, it seems clear that George, Henry, and William were three of the males in Jacob's household in 1810 and were his sons. My John Jacob was born 9/23/1755 and died before 1818 and WAS THE SON of Bernard Zeigler married to Anna Maria Wedel....Is your Jacob's father Bernard Zeigler? https://ogsgs.org/ffam/ffam.php?f=zeigler

Absolutely our John Jacob was the son of Bernard Zeigler. I have even retained an Orangeburg law firm to deal with the OSGSGS to try to get this misinformation cleared up.
