My Zimmerman's are Joseph B. Zimmerman b 25 Apr 1818 d 3 Jul 1895 married
Mary Polly Beaver(Bieber). Their daughter Mary Ellen Zimmerman b 10 mar 1850
married Stephen Michael b 21 Nov 1840. This is my line. My question is who
were Joseph B. Zimmerman's parents?
In any of your research have you found any Strauss(Strouss) surnames in the
Columbia or Northumberland areas of PA?

John, didn't I reply to you about Joseph's parents. I thought I had.
Joseph's
parents were Jacob Zimmerman and Christiana Labenberg/Lowenberg. Her father
Fredrich Lowenberg was one of the first settlers in the Ringtown area. His
Revolutionary War papers are available under the name Frederick Livenbury. I
guess they had a hard time reading his name. Jacob Zimmerman is my brick wall.
Some researchers said his parents were Emanuel and Hannah Zimmeman, but there is
a 20 year difference between Jacob and rest of Emanuel's family. Jacob had 17
children and a pile of grandchildren, and why Jacob should be such a brick wall,
I don't know. Dottie
