Hello Barbara,
Who was Daniel ZIMMERMAN'S father? And, do you know any of Daniel's
siblings?
You peaked my interest when you said Daniel's father served on both sides in
the Revolutionary War. I am a direct descendant of John (Johan/Johannes)
WAGGONER/WAGNER. Some family tradition tells us that John was a Hessian
soldier during the Revolution, but deserted and served on the American side.
So far, we have not been able to prove this. John owned 100 acres in Bart
Township in Lancaster Co. PA.
John's first wife was Anna Maria ZIMMERMAN. I have often wondered if her
brother could have been a Hessian soldier, too. In the baptismal records of
John & Maria's children, there was an Andreas ZIMMERMAN who sponsored some
of the children. For now, we are assuming that he was Maria's brother.
Maria died after the birth of their last child and John remarried a Barbara
?. Some have said the Barbara may have been Maria's sister, but again, no
proof yet.
Children of John & Maria were: Elizabeth, Jacob, John, Mary, Isaac,
Catharine, Susanna, Martin, & George.
Is there anything here that sounds familiar to you? I hope that we can
make a connection.
Linda

I missed the discussion on Danile Zimmerman. I have a Daniel
zimmerman,
too. His father served in the revoluntionary war on both sides. Could
this be the one that was discussed.
