Hi List,
I am a new subscriber so please bear with me as I try to get my information
down correctly.
I am looking for Maria Eva DUNSTLER b. Feb 14, 1662 (In Germany, I believe
in Sulzfeld). She married Christian ZIMMERMAN on Jan 28, 1688. Christian was
born on Dec. 30, 1669 also in Germany. I haven't been able to find any
church records since I can't seem to narrow down the exact place they were
born.
Maria and Christian had three children:
1. Johann Georg ZIMMERMAN
2. Johann Conrad ZIMMERMAN
3. Hans Christopher ZIMMERMAN
Hans was born in Ravensburg, Germany on May 16, 1692 I looked for his
parents there, but no luck. I'm thinking they moved there, or the town may
have changed names. What is interesting is that Hans died about 1750 in
Culpepper County, Virginia (USA).
He married his first wife Dorthea ROTTLE on Jul 27, 1710 while in Germany
and their son John ZIMMERMAN was also born in Germany( I believe Bietigheim,
Wurttemberg). so their journey to the States had to have happen after their
marriage and birth of their son.
If anyone can help me narrow down the actual towns these people were born in
and shed some light on who Maria DUNSTLER cam from, I'd be most grateful. I
have much more information on John ZIMMERMAN's second wife and their
descendants that I'd be willing to share if anyone is interested.
Thank you,
Kerstin Erickson
