Hello,
Looking for a Christian Zimmerman connection.
Fielding Zimmerman, son of Christian and Sarah Zimmerman, was born in North
Carolina, probably in Davie County, on 14 April, apparently anywhere from
1825-1831.
(1888 Harrison County, MO., history showed 1825, his 1901 obituary showed
1829, the 1870 census record indicated 1830, and his tombstone shows 1831.
Biography of Fielding Zimmerman says he was orphaned at eight years old.
Phoebe Elizabeth Wright, daughter of Lorenzo Dow Wright and Margaret
Brookman was born 29 May 1831 in Pulaski County, VA.
Fielding Zimmerman and Phoebe Wright were married 3 Cot. 1854 in Hendricks
County, Indiana. They with their infant son John, came to Missouri in 1875.
Fielding Zimmerman died 1 Nov. 1901 at his home, Washington Centr, harrison
County, MO He was buried 3 Nov. 1901 in Wesley Chapel Cemetery.
Phoebe (Wright) Zimmerman died 18-Feb 1917 at the home of a daughter Mary
Ramey, Martinsville, Harrison County, MO. She was buried 19 Feb. 1917 in
Wesley Chapel cemetery.
They had 11 children, 2 of whom died in infancy (said to have been twin
brothers of Nelson & Margaret, died at birth.) Those who lived to adulthood:
John Franklin married Mary Grace
Sarah Jane married William Francis Jordan
Nelson Taylor married Mary Norma Clark
William Thomas married Madama Kansas Creekmore (my great grandparents)
Nancy Ellen married William Long
Margaret Ann married Eli Garrett Creekmore
