I am looking for descendants of William Henry Zimmerman and Martha Ellen Williams. They
had 10 children that lived to adulthood and married. They are:
1. Benjamin Francis (1877-1950) married: Julie Ann Thomas.
2. Charles Edgar (1880-1951) married: Alice Emma Staff
3. Arthur Elmer (1883-1947) married: Ella Genevieve Crossing
4. Ernest Irvin (1885-1968) married: Grace Madden
5. Verna Rebecca (1886-1962) married: Robert Caleb Birchell
6. Hattie Pearl (1888-1946) married: Matthew Steinmetz
7. Valentine Belle "Tina" (1890-1972) married: Joshua Clevenger
8. Wade Notley (1892-1964) married: Olive Jane Noble
9. Henry Leroy (18895-1979) married: Ivol Gertrude Hawkins
10. Velva Mae Zimmerman (1898-1973) married: Harry Eagan
I am the great grandaughter of Henry Leroy. I'm trying to take our line back farther,
and I have reason to believe that the commonly seen line, going back to the Germanna
Colony, is not correct. I have connected with a few distant cousins, all of which have
helped to confirm my hunch. I know that William H's father was James Notley. I have
evidence that James may have been the son of a Frederick John Zimmerman, not William, as
many record. William W. Zimmerman was the brother of James.
If you would like to compare notes, share photos, etc. please respond to this post. I
know that we can grow our family tree.
Sincerely,
Lisa Zimmerman Wilson
