Hi Sarah:
Thank you for the reply..appreciate it.
At this point, my line is next to unknown because I don't
know excatly where my g'mother was born-have only her
date of birth and New York listed as place. No idea her
parents first names.
My hope is that someone in searching out their
backgroounds will run across her name "Ellen (Eliz.)
born 8-16-1850-either on a 1860 census or some other
Zimmerman search. I believe her to have been from
Greig, Lewis county or a surrounding county, because
my g'father was from Lewis co. and they married about
1883. She was married once prior, to a Mr. Bunn. Given
the mode of transportation for country folks in those years,
my guess is that she lived near by in Lewis or surrounding counties. Needle in a hay
stack !!
