I don't know if this is the Nancy and Rebecca Zinn you are searching for but here is
what I know about these two Zinn sisters.
Abraham Zinn (born 1802 in Washington County, Ohio) married Elizabeth Brooks (born 13 Aug
1796 in Pennsylvania and died 14 Aug 1879 in Fulton, Illinois). Abraham and Elizabeth had
11 children; Nancy, Rebecca, Jane, Sarah Ann, Elizabeth, Lavina, Maria, Sam, Jonathan,
Tom, and Mary Polly.
Nancy (my Great, Great, Great, Grandmother- born 4 Feb 1833 in Jackson County, Ohio and
died 22 Feb 1906 in Geneseo, Kansas) married Charles Henry Peterson (my Great, Great,
Great, Grandfather).
Nancy's sister Rebeca (born abt 1823) married Anderson Vernon. Anderson married Nancy
and Rebecca's sister Jane after the death of Rebecca.
If this sounds like the same family you are researching I can send you a Gedcom file of my
entire Zinn tree which is quite extensive.
Warmest regards,
