My great grandmother was Elizabeth Ann Ziegler b Jan 1862, d/o Jacob Ziegler
and Elizabeth Ann Harry. Jacob Ziegler was b 7/3/1825 in VA and d 11/15/1896
in Winnsboro, Wood, TX. I believe EA Harry was Jacob's second wife.
I have found quite a lot of information on Jacob but cannot locate either of
his parents or any siblings. I will be very grateful for anything you have
on them. Here is what I have found so far on Jacob Ziegler (1825-1896):

Mistakenly read as Bigler on 1880 census. Spelled Ziegler in 1860 census.
From a Winnsboro, TX (Wood County) newspaper clipping, unknown date:

printed in last week's News. Following is a list of pastors who have served
this church:
Elder Jacob Ziegler from organization date until February 1879".
