Tammy,
Your ancestor was Leonard Carl Zimmerman, born January 1865 in NY, died March 1951 in
Santa Clara County, California. Leonard's father was Jacob Zimmerman, born May 1836
Darmstadt, Hessen,Germany and died February 1914 in Oneida, NY; mother Augusta Henricy,
born 1846 Germany, died April 1928 in Rome, NY.
Jacob came to the US with his parents and 12 siblings in 1854. He lived in "the
west", very likely Larimer County, Colorado, for a time, but settled on a farm in
Redfield, NY until his death. It looks like he made at least one prolonged trip back to
Colorado, for several of his younger children were born there, but lived in NY.
One of Jacob's brothers was very likely my ancestor Leonard, born 1839 in Germany,
died 1894 in Verona, NY. Both Leonard and Jacob are buried at St. Peter's Cemetery in
Verona, along with their wives and several children, grandchildren, great grandchildren,
etc.
If you'd like to contact me to privately discuss the Zimmerman Family, my email:
lilzimm84(a)yahoo.com. I'm very interested in the remainder of the original 12 Zimmerman
children who possibly stayed in Colorado, their descendants and any information you may
have.
