Thank you for sharing this information. I'm assuming that this date is forJohn F.
Zimmerman Sr., son of Frederick and Polly. I recentl y found a burial record for what I
believe is the younger one, son of John F. and Lucy Finnell, born about 1831.
I found a Civil War service record for him which states that after the battle of Richmond,
he was missing. There is a headstone in Bellevue Cemetery, in Danville, which states that
he died on 26 Apr 1862. He is buried near Ophelia Mars Zimmerman,his wife, and William M.
Zimmerman, their son.
I still have no definite birthplace for Frederick John. B John F, Thomas J and James
Notley list their father's birthplace as PA on the 1880 census. I believe that they
are the only children that were still living by 1880. I also have, as I think I might
have mentioned previously, information taken from a letter written by one of James N's
grandaughters which stated that James' father was born in Lancaster County, PA.
That at least gives us a starting place.
