Message Board Post:
I am looking for information on a John Zinn and his wife, Elizabeth, who came to the U.S.
from Hesse Darmstadt around 1855 or so. He had a son named George (wife Caroline Hersh)
who was my grgrandfather. George was listed in future census as being born at sea,
however, one census states that he was born in Maryland. They also had a daughter,
Margaret, with them. Two years latet their son, Henry, came over. They lived in Somerset
County, PA. (Hays Mills and Meyersdale.) He later married an Annie Magdelena Ackerman.
I have information about Henry from the Meyersdale paper. The librarian sent it to me. I
have his obit which is quit lengthy. I would like to find out more about John and
Elizabeth and their son George. Any help would be appreciated, Diane H>
