Deb, there were at least two Zimmerman families, not related to each other,
who lived in Columbiana Co., OH in the early 1800's. Both were headed by a
John Z. Children of the family in Green Twp were Anna, Elizabeth, Mary,
Peter, John, Conrad, Joseph, Christina, Barbara, Henry, Susanna, and
Catherin. The other John Zimmerman family (my ancestors) lived in Center Twp.
Their children were Elizabeth, Catherine, Margaret, Sarah, Susan, Rachel,
John F., William, Mary Ann, and Henry. Do you know which of these families
(if either) that your Van Wert Zimmermans came from?

Am looking to connect w/ anyone researching Zimmermans who settled in
Van
Wert County OH abt. 1840-1850. They came, I believe, from Columbiana County
OH, where they had settled in 1800's. Have lots of information to share
but always looking for more!
