Hugh,
I am a Peterson family member and researcher and fortunately for you there were a couple
Zinn family members who married into my Peterson branches. I have some limited Zinn
family info that may assist you in jump starting your search.
The Rebecca Zinn you are searching for is the daughter of Nicholas Zinn (b abt 1739) and
Sarah (last name unknown). Rebecca was the sister of Esther, William, Samuel, Nancy,
Christina, and Abraham. Abraham Zinn (b abt 1802 in Ohio) married Elizabeth Brooks (b abt
1796 in Pennsylvania). Abraham and Elizabeth Brooks were the parents of my G, G, G,
Grandmother Nancy Zinn.
Rebecca Zinn and John Tarr had a son in addition to Annis. His name was Samuel Tarr and
he married Nancy Hollingshead.
Rabecca Zinn's grandparents were FREDERICK JOHANNES "JOHN" ZINN (b abt 1705)
and ANNA SOPHIA SCHNEIDER (b abt 1706).
I have a Zinn tree that I can send to you as a GEDCOM file if you are interested.
