David Zeigler

From an article regarding the Zeigler House (in Alabama): David Zeigler and his wife came from Germany with their nine children. After their arrival, their son Bernard married. His son Jacob, the first Ziegler in the family born in America, was born in Orangeburg in 1755."

The above comment gives a name to the father of Bernard (mentioned below). However, it seems unlikely that a man in his 70s would emigrate, along with nine children (who would all have been adults by 1755). Others list David as living from circa 1680 to sometime after 1752.

David Siglear received a plat for 150 acres on a branch of Stephens Creek bounding all sides on vacant land on 13 Sep 1764. (Vol 8, p 248, item 1) David Seigler entered a memorial for this land on 28 Feb 1765. (Vol 6, p 393, item 003)

Bernard Zeigler

The Bernard Zeigler Family was one of several Zeigler families who settled in colonial Orangeburgh District, South Carolina. Even though they shared common given names with some of the other Zeigler lines, Bernard's family stayed in the vicinity of his original land on Pope Spring Creek for several generations. This makes it easier to pick out his descendants by their location and neighbors.[1]

Barnard Ziglar received a plat of 200 acres in the lower end of Orangeburg Township on 30 Oct 1753. Adjacent landowner was Phliax (Felix) Morf. (Vol 8, p 606, item 03)

Barnard Ziglar received a memorial for 200 acres on Pope Spring Swamp in Berkley County on 22 Apr 1762. Felix Morss is also listed, so this likely is the memorial for the above plat. (Vol 14, p 188, item 003)

Barnard Ziglar is shown as an adjacent landowner on a plat of 100 acres for Maria Wedlin in the lower end of Orangeburg Township on 30 Oct 1753. (Vol 8, p 622, item 02) He also is adjacent landowner on the memorial that Maria received for this land on 28 Aug 1765. (Vol 8, p 59, item 004)

Barnard Zigler received a land grant for 200 acres in Orangeburgh Township on 14 Nov 1754. (Vol 6, p 167, item 000)

Bernard Zeigler is shown as an adjacent landowner on plat of 100 acres just below Orangeburgh Township on the north side of the Four Holes Swamp in Berkley County laid out for Maria Catherine Cagerline dated 20 Jul 1757 (and memorial of 4 May 1761). The land was bounded on the NW by Bernard and on the SW by Anna Maria Wedlin (who later married Bernard Zeigler), (Vol 6, p 260. item 03 and Vol 14, p 39, item 001)

Bernard Sigler is shown as an adjacent landowner on a plat for 320 acres in Orangeburgh District on Shoemakers Branch, waters of Four Holes, for Jacob Sigler dated 9 Sep 1789. Other adjoining landowners were Gasper Seigler, Ballantine Shoemaker, Conrad Hungerpealer, Jacob Hungerpealer, Jacob Murf, Felix Murf. Jacob Snider. (Vol 27. p 140, item 001)

Some online trees shown Bernard as the son of Fritz Zeigler (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Ziegler-1909).

Conrad Seigler

Conrad is shown as an adjacent landowner on a plat of 150 acres on a fork between the Broad and Saluda Rivers on a branch of Second Creek laid out for John Conrad Volk on 7 Apr 1753. Other adjoining landowners were George Hunter and John Pearson.

Charolus Seigler

Charolus is an adjoining landowner on a plat of 150 acres laid out for Adam Yan/Yau in a fork between the Broad and Saluda Rivers on Broad River in Craven County on 24 Jul 1769. Other adjoining landowners was Simon Riberhober. (Vol. 11, p 205, item 01). Note: Simon Riberhover was an adjoining landowner in the 1753 plat for Cornelius Seigler (see below). This leads me to think that Charolus and Cornelius are one and the same.

Cornelius Seigler

Cornelius is shown as an adjacent landowner on a plat of 350 acres on a fork between the Broad and Saluda Rivers on a branch of Cannon Creek laid out for Simon Riberhover on 26 Apr 1753. Other adjoining landowners were Thomas Hember, George Hunter, Christian Leiver, John Pearson.

George Sigler sold land in 1834 in Orangeburg, SC. The deed states that the property was left by Jacob to his sons, 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[4]

George Sigler Sr. of Edgefield, SC wrote his will on 17 Oct 1842, naming his wife Mary, his brother Jeremiah, and his son George, and mentions his 150 acres of land on which he presently lives on lying in Edgefield District on Cypress Creek.[5]

Jacob Zeigler

There is a birth record of a John Jacob Zeigler born 16 Nov 1755 in Orangeburgh, South Carolina., son of Bernhard Ziegler and Anna Maria (Wedel) . There were at least three men named Jacob Zeigler, born within a few years of one another, that lived in Orangeburg. Land and tax records indicate the son Jacob born in 1755 to Bernard was not the one that migrated to Alabama.

Jacob Seigler received a plat for 60 acres in Orangeburgh District on 21 Jun 1785. Adjacent landowners were Maningo, Wilson, and Seigler (no first names shown on diagram). (Vol 8, p 274, item 001)

The 1818 tax roll lists "estate of Jacob Zeigler'. What is further known is that the land owned by him was previously owned by Bernard Zeigler, so this would have been Jacob born in 1755. Also, the estate return was signed by John Smith, son of George Smith who was Jacob's (son of Bernard) half-brother.[7]

Jacob wrote a will before he died but a copy of it does not exist. It is mentioned in a deed when his son, George, sold land in 1834. The deed states that the property was left by Jacob to his sons, 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.[8]
