Hi,
I would draw your attention to "The History of Somerset, Bedford, and Fulton
Counties. A Michael Zimmerman is described in great detail. He was born in
Lancaster County and came to Quemahoning Township in 1784. He married
Elizabeth Kimmel and had nine children including a "Catherine". If you can
find a copy of the history read pages 501, 502, and 503 carefully. The
churches the Zimmermans attended are listed along with the early members
including several Zimmermans. Most important, I think, is the Zimmerman or
Mount Tabor Lutheran and Reformed Church. There were 9 Zimmerman members.
If you can't find the book I will photocopy the pages you need. By the way,
there is also a line drawing of the "farm"
Hope this helps,
Burt
