The family originated with Johann Friederich Zeiler from "Pansouva" or "Panch ua" in Hungary. This has been identified as Pancevo in modern-day Yugoslavia , which may mean that Zeiler was a descendant of the Saxon peoples who sett led there as a result of the blandishments of Geza II, the twelfth century Ki ng of Hungary. Johann Friederich Zeiler emigrated to South Africa and he enters our history with his marriage on 23rd Nov 1794 in Cape Town to Dorothea Catharina Mulder (or Muller), the daughter of Nicholaas Mulder. The couples son, Johannes Jocobus Zeiler (after whom the Queenstown Stree t is named) was born on the 12 Jan 1798 and baptised in the Dutch Reformed Church Cape Town on 21 Jan 1798. Johannes Jacobus grew up in Cape Town. He married Dina Fredrika Schildba ch, daughter of Jan Pieter Schildbach and Hendrina Dorothea Geyser, in the Lutheran Church in Cape Town on 25 Jan 1818. After 1822 Johannes J. Zeiler left Cape Town and lived on the farm "Schaa pe Kraal" in the Tarka area of the Eastern Province where he was listed as Justice of the Peace at Tarka and by 1843 he is shown as a member of the Cradock School Commission. In 1858 J.J.Zeiler moved to his newly-acquired property outside Queenstow n, Fordyce Fountain (known today simply as Fordyce). J.J. Zeiler and his wi fe Dina are both buried in the farm cemetery. In 1895, Fordyce passed into the hands of the McComb family, who had followed the Zeilers from Cradock. Stephan Johannes van Wyk McComb marri ed Dorothea Francina Zeiler, daughter of Johannes Jocobus Zeiler, who was b orn on 15 Jun 1837 and died on 7 Sep 1874 and buried on Fordyce. Stephan and Dorothea McComb are my maternal Great Grand Parents. After Dorothea's de ath Stephan married Aletta Jane Crowe Lovemore.
