Hi,
I finally made some headway today on my Zimmermans and want to see if anyone can make a
connection. Previously, all I knew was that an Ann (Nancy) Zimmerman married John BEAM in
Frederick Co. Maryland in 1811. I have conflicting sources as to her place of birth -
could be Germany, Pennsylvania, Maryland - nothing definite.
Today I found a land record in Frederick Co. dated December 1828. It appears that the late
Catherine Zimmerman's heirs sold about 21 acres of land to Charles SCOGINS and his
wife. This land was referred to as "The Orchard" and was at the east end of
Union Town.
Catherine's heirs were listed as follows:
Rachael Zimmerman
Nathan Zimmerman
John Saffell and wife Mary
John Beam and wife Ann
Conrad Hiteshaw and wife Elizabeth
David Johnson and wife Susan
David Zimmerman
Lydia Zimmerman
Jacob Zimmerman
John Zimmerman
All of the above were residents of Frederick Co. except for David Zimmerman who was living
in Indiana in 1828.
I'm wondering if any of these Zimmerman names ring a bell with anyone - I'm sure
that the wives named are also Zimmerman daughters. Also if anyone has a David Zimmerman
living in Indiana in 1828?
Thanks,
Janet
