Zigler, Jacob

Zigler, Jacob

Jacob Zigler was a master builder in Philadelphia during the first half of the 19th century. In 1823, he was elected to the Carpenters' Company of Philadelphia. He was probably closely related to an earlier member and Revolutionary War veteran of the same name. Little is known of the later Zigler. In 1845, he was listed as a carpenter living at 225 North 9th street. He died in 1848 and the following year his widow was placed on the Company's relief roll. In 1861, she was paid an additional $1500 for reasons unknown.
