Message Board Post:
Tammy, I do not have any birth/death dates for Daniel or Delia at this time. I only know
their names because of Bert's death certificate. As I followed that lead I found a
death certificate for a Daniel Zinn (b: 08/05/1847 d: 02/22/1910) but am not totally sure
that it is who I am looking for although the listed cemetery (Forest Hill in Napoleon, Oh)
is where my father believes some of his family is buried. My father and I were going to
do a day trip to see if any of the stones trigger any more memories for him. Most of my
data is gathered from the internet so I am not totally positive of anything past Bert. I
have not found any birth or death information on Delia (Ball) Zinn, Cora Alice (Ball) Zinn
or Jennie (Sutton) Zinn.
I also realized that I made an error in a previous post. I thought Delia was 16 and
married in Henry county but that is not what I have documented. So let me correct that.
Daniel and Delia (Ball) Zinn were the parents of Bert (according to Bert's death
certificate of which I have a copy from the LDS site). Bert then married a Cora Alice
Ball in 1889 according to the Henry County Gene. Society website. She was the one who was
16 at the time of marriage and had her father's consent but his name was not listed
online. I think this is where I got confused because Bert's mother is listed as Delia
Ball and he later married Cora Alice Ball. Cora Alice either died or divorced Bert who
then married Jennie Sutton (no record at this time other than census reports that this
happened so I am assuming as such).
Whew. That is where I stand at this point. Did it make any sense?
Carol
