Paula, I do not know any further information about Thomas Zinn's family. Since my
major interest was his wife, Mary Agnes McGuire, I have not done further research. I
would suggest looking for a death certificate in Kansas, either in Washington County or
Topeka, the state capitol. Parents of the deceased are listed when known. Would also
check the 1850 and 1860 Illinois census. I do know from my McGuire research that there
were a lot of Zinns in Kewanee, Henry County,, which about 15 miles from Wyoming, (Stark
Co) Ill. The Stark County Historical Society is in Toulon, the county seat, and they are
quite helpful. Henry County has an excellent genie society and its records are in the
Kewanee library. Janet
