John Sigler, I

Per family lore, 3 Sigler brothers left Germany and lived in Loudoun County, VA to pay their passage indenture to a Rich English tobacco plantation owner (William Ellzey).

Records from Loudoun, VA Tithes show a Henry (1761, 1772-1775, 1777) John (1767-1787) and Jacob Sigler (1767-1782). They intermittently appeared on same tithe lists.

Henry Sigler is difficult to track from records after 1777.

Jacob Sigler marries Margaret Holeman and moves with family to Wilkes, Iredell, Davie and Rowan Counties, North Carolina. Most of his family then moves to TN and KY. See Jacob Sigler Find A Grave Memorial# 27212015

BURIAL

Peter and Nancy Sigler-Neff are in a fenced family plot with space for possibly five persons. Peter's Headstone is out of alignment with his foot-stone it should be aligned next to wife's tombstone. That leaves two or three possible graves in this family plot that are not marked.

Could this be location of John Sigler and wife Eliz Unk burials? His son, Adam is buried in Morrison Cemetery very near this family fenced in plot.
