Dear Gladys Leon (and list members),
Just saw your note re the ZIMMERMAN family photograph.
Are any of your ZIMMERMANS from Utica, Port Leyden or Lyons Falls or Newton Falls, NY?
Our first ZIMMERMANS in America were Mathias (c 1790) and Lany (Magdelena) (c1800) whom,
we believe, came from Baden about 1853 with their children Mathias (Matthew), Rosa, Mary,
and Catherine.
Matthew (b1828) married Lany (Magdelena) FURHMAN and lived in Utica. One of his children
married a GANGDORFF (? spelling) in Utica. Simon ZIMMERMAN and Agatha ULRICH were
godparents for two of his children. Johannes and Barbara ZIMMERMAN were godparents for
another child.
Rosa ZIMMERMAN'S married name in 1893 was Schuyler. She was born about 1836. I think
her married name might have been SCHREIGLER in earlier years. She had two daughters that
we are aware of. They were Lena and Nellie SCHUYLER or SCHREIGLER. Lena married a man
surnamed LEON.
Either Rose ZIMMERMAN SCHUYLER/SCHREIGLER or her sister Mary ZIMMERMAN BECK lived for
a time in Port Leyden, NY.
Mary ZIMMERMAN (b1826) married Lawrence BECK. Their daughter Mary married a FISHER and
another daughter Mayo married a SPRINGSTEEN.
We believe some of Mary ZIMMERMAN BECK's family and some of Rosa ZIMMERMAN
SCHUYLER/SCHREIGLER'S went to Camden, NY. We have a FISHER photo from Philadelphia.
Catherine (? DOB) married Baltus/Balthazar UNSELD/UNSEL. Upon his death she married a
HOOVER.
We have many old ZIMMERMAN photos without names. Many of the older generations of
ZIMMERMANS are buried in New Forest Cemetery in Utica, NY.
I was wondering if there was a connection.
Sincerely,
Kathy Unsel Gillis
