Message Board Post:
My great grandfather, Sam Zeillmann, Zillmann, Zielman, marries Eliza Brown (1870 census,
he's 52, Eliza = 22 = born approx. 1848) with children Barbara Sophia (4) and George
(1). Lists Sam as born in Baden (Germany) but Eliza born in INDIANA - see conflicting
info in 1880 census. Is this the Eliza J Brown of Madison, IN?
By 1880 Census, Sam is dead (1879 per Find a Grave) and Eliza Zeilman (widowed - 33) now
has five kids at home 15 years old and under - Barbara Sophie (15), George (12), Mollie
(9) Lulu (5), and Harvey (3). IT SAYS ELIZA WAS BORN IN ENGLAND as were her mother and
father.
1900 Census shows Eliza Wagner (52), living with son, Harvey Zeilmann (28), at 1736(?)
Spring Street in New Albany. Says she's been married 12 years (married 1888) but
"widowed" - husband not listed - Eliza is "head" of household. - WHO
IS/WAS THE HUSBAND WAGNER. Can guestimate Eliza's marriage to WAGNER in approx.
1888 ( 12 years = 1900 census). 1900 Census says Eliza born in Indiana, father in
Indiana, but mother born in Vermont.
Would like to verify Eliza Browns family. Some detailed records from Madison, Indiana
show an Eliza at the right age but not sure. Who is the second husband Wagner?
Thanks for any help. Dave Zeillmann
