Barbara Z. Edwards had a will dated 5 Apr 1786 in Culpepper Co.,Va. in which she mentioned her daughter Nancy"Ann" Ziglar Rice and her Grandson James B. Ziglar.

ca 1737 when Barbara "Barbary" was 20, she first married Johann Leonhardt/Leonard ZIEGLER/ZIGLAR, in Culpepper Co.,Va. Born ca 1711 in Rhine River area, Germany. Johann Leonhardt/Leonard died in Culpepper Co.,Va. in 1758, he was 47.

Johann Leonhardt Ziegler anglicized his name to Leonard Ziglar and his will dated 3 Dec 1757, Culpepper Co.,Va., reflects this change. Johann emigrated to America in1732 aboard the ship "Samuel" at age 21 arriving at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He took an Oath to Allegiance and became a U. S. citizen at the Philadephia on 11 Aug 1732. He begins showing up in legal documents in 1736 where his name appears as a witness on a deed date 19 Apr1736 in Orange Co.,Va. He signed his name "Leenhart Ziegler". Leonard Ziglar had a will in Culpepper Co.,Va., Will Book A,page 158 dated 3 Dec 1757 as follows: In the name of God Amen, I Leonard Ziglar being sick and Weak of body but of perfect mind and memory thanks be to Almighty God for it and as touching my temporal affair doth make this my last Will and Testament and principally I recommend my soul to God who gave it hoping through the death and passion of my blessed Lord and saviour Jesus Christ to receive full and free pardon and forgiveness of all my sins for my body to the ground to be decentily buried at the descretion of my executors here after named and for my temporal estate which it hath pleased me God to bestow upon me I give and dispose of in manner and form following viz:ITEM: I give and bequeath unto my beloved son Christopher Ziglar the half of the tract of land whereon I now live to him and his heirs for ever it being four hundred and forty five acres be the same more or less.

Christian Zimmermann's father was another Christian so we will use the designation of Junior and Senior though the German records do not make this distinction. Christian, Jr. was the father of Christopher, the 1717 Virginia immigrant. Christian Zimmermann, Sr. married Maria Schuchter on 25 Jan 1669 in Sulzfeld. Christian, Sr.'s father was Michael and his mother was Benedicta unknown. Maria Schuchter's father was Johann (Hans) Schuchter and her mother was Maria unknown. Maria Schuchter, the wife of Christian Zimmermann, Sr., was born 21 May 1648. She lived until 13 Aug 1708 when she died at the age of 60 years and two months. Christian, Sr. lived until 26 Mar 1703 but we do not know his birthdate.
Christian, Sr. and Maria were the parents of nine children:
1. Christianus, b. and chr. 30 Dec 1669. (This is our Christian, Jr.),
2. Johann Petrus, chr. 24 Dec 1672, d. 1 Apr 1673 at 13 weeks,
3. Anna Maria, b. 9 Mar 1674, chr. on the 10th, d. 15 Jan 1675,
4. Anna Margretha, b. 29 Oct 1677, nfi,
5. Anna Catharina, b. and chr. 10 Mar 1680, d. 25 Jun 1685,
6. Jacob, b. and chr. 26 Nov 1682, d. 27 Nov 1682, bur. 28 Nov 1682,
7. Johannes Andreas, b. 4 Nov 1683, nfi,
8. A boy, b. and d. 14 Feb 1686,
9. Andreas, chr. 6 Feb 1687, d. 25 Feb 1691, b. 26 Feb 1691.

Of the nine children, only one lived past five years of age (assuming that the nfi probably means death occurred). That was Christian, Jr., the father of the Virginia immigrant, Christopher. This case, in an extreme way, shows how bad infant mortality could be.
Michael Zimmermann, the great-grandfather of Christopher, was born in Steffisburg, Bern, Switzerland in the year 1607. It was he who emigrated from Switzerland to Germany. He had married Bendicta unknown who died on 4 Oct 1665 at Sulzfeld. On the next 1 May he married Elisabetha Albrecht (she was the widow of Hanns Lehemann). Michael had immigrated rather early in life from Switzerland to Germany because his first child, Johannes, was born in Sulzfeld in 1636. (Johannes married Regina Wegmon or Wegmann.) Several children probably followed Johannes before Christian (Sr.) was born but we have no record of them. Christian had at least one younger brother, Michael, who married Maria Spengler.
It is surprising to me that Michael moved to Sulzfeld in the period of 1607 to 1636 (his birth to his son's birth) because the Thirty Years' War went on from 1618 to 1648. This was a most unsettled period in Germany and it would hardly have been an inviting time to move. It could be that the move was made by Michael's father in the period 1607 to 1618.
All of this Zimmermann history is fascinating to me because it is contemporaneous with major events in European history. Another reason is that many of the surnames that one reads in the Zimmermann history occur in the Germanna history. Were they accidents or were they deliberate?
