Thanks for the quick response!
I come through James' son Beniah Porter Zimmerman - He is my great great grandfather.
I am, like you, having a hard time getting a documented link for James' father. I
have seen others connect James to 1) William born 1792 in Jessamine County, or 2) William
born 1787 in Culpepper County, or 3) William born about 1800 in Ky. For example, several
people's online Linage shows:
7 William Zimmerman b: 1 Jan 1792 in Jessamine Co., KY d: 19 Feb 1855 in Anderson Co.,
KY ?* Unknown (1) Zimmerman
8 William H. Zimmerman b: Abt. 1800 in KY d: in LeRoy, McLean, IL, Empire Township
Unknown (2) Zimmerman b: Abt. 1800 d: 1830-1840
9 James Notley Zimmerman b: 6 Feb 1815 in KY Mary Ann Porter b: 4 Jul 1818 in LeRoy,
McLean, Illinois m: 14 Dec 1837
That can't be right because William couldn't be born in 1792 and have a grandson
(James) born in 1815, but I see it over and over.
I have to believe that someone has made the documented connection to the father of James.
I'd love for it to be William born in Culpepper County in 1787 because then I can
trace back to Michael born in Switzerland in 1607 or 1617, but its got to be right. ;-)
If you make any head way, plese let me know!
Thanks!
Mark Askew Zimmerman
