Hi, I saw your postings on
ancestry.com (albeit old ones) but what caught my
eye is you are the grand child of Sameul A. Zinn and his son James Marion
Zinn. I too have those great grandfathers in my direct line back.
Which of James Marion's children are you decended? I come through Fred, and
then his third son, Victor Edwin Zinn.
I can probably fill in some gaps - and you for me as well. That is if you
haven't done so already.
I do have Sameul's military records from the Natl Archives. His brother was
killed in the Battle of Five Forks just 5 days before the end of the civil
war. I have his records too.
Also, I have pictures. Do you have any - I would enjoy sharing.
Thank you in advance, sally zinn hoffman
