Message Board Post:
To John Zinn
From Marshall Lowe
On a different message board “forum” you replied back in January, 2001 to another
cousin named Debbi Copeland in regard to Jacob Zinn. You acknowledged that you both shared
the same sources, most notably a 1937 “History and Genealogy of the Zinn Family” by Mabel
McFatridge McCloskey. She vouches for the accuracy of much of the information in the book
in terms of a personal visit to a cemetery in Carroll Co IN accuracy of information in
regard to burial of a Jacob Zinn b, 15 May 1784. (What I myself find interesting here is
that while Jacob was born in Lancaster Co PA his “consort” who is buried along aside was
born in Berks Co.)
Elsewhere however Debbi suggests that the Mabel McFatridge-McCloskey book lacks a
bibliography. What in fact are her sources of information in her book?
I attempted last week E-Mailing Debbi Copeland at her old 2001 E-Mail address, even as I
also E-mailed you. My ISP returned my message to her as undelivered. Would you by any
chance have a current E-Mail address for her?
I would appreciate learning more about the sources for information for
your Jacob Zinn line.
