Message Board Post:
I got what might be a good lead in the case of James N. Zimmerman's parents. I
recently found a 4th cousin, through James N. She said that she has a letter that was
written by her great grandmother, (who was James' great grandaughter). In the letter,
is says that James was born in KY. He had a brother named John, who remained in KY. It
also states that James' father was born in PA, and that James' grandfather came
from Bavaria.
On the 1880 census, James lists his father's birthplace as PA.
All of the information matches up with the family that I have been researching, that I
believe James belongs to, which I mentioned in an earlier post.
