General Notes: Husband - George Sigler, Jr.


He was born in New Jersey, and sometime about 1775 the family moved to Decatur Township, Mifflin County, Pennsylvania. In May, 1782, his father heard that Indians had been seen on the other side of the mountain. He sent George, Jr., to the neighboring Bell farm to ascertain what had been heard. On the way George, Jr. (aged 20) was seized by a party of Indians and taken to Canada and held captive for a year.
