General Notes: Husband - Michael Ziegler

---

He was born probably about 1680 in Germany, came to America with his brother Melchior before 1717 [in 1709?], as in that year he was living in Perkiomen township, then Philadelphia, now Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, where he died "far advanced in age" some time between February, 1763, and October, 1765.
The exact date of his arrival in America is not known, the first record found being his appointment as one of the trustees of the land upon which was erected the Skippack Mennonite Church, whose congregation he later served as minister; he also preached at Germantown. His occupation, however, is given as that of weaver. [SF, 414]

There is no doubt that he and his wife, Catherine, were buried in the old Mennonite graveyard, adjoining the church with which he was so closely identified. If so, there are no stones to be found today. Many of the inscriptions marking the last resting place of the oldest members of this church have become undecipherable and in numerous cases utterly obliterated.
