Calling Schuylkill County ZIMMERMAN's.
My Zimmerman line comes from Lehigh County/Maxatawny to Mahantongo to Tremont/Pine Grove. I can't find the marriage record for Seth but 2 of his sons link Annie Werfield as their mother on their death certificates and I have found her with him in the census. I am trying to find a marriage record for Seth Zimmerman and Annie Werfield. They are buried in the German Reformed Cemetery in Tremont. They had 8 children who must have been baptised or confirmed at a church in this area-SOMEWHERE but I can find NOTHING! I would
appreciate any help - any help. I'll list the
children later... Seth's family the Zimmerman's traveled from Maxatawny (near the Kutztown area) to Mahantango. Something happened that caused the sale of Abraham SR.
(Seth's graet grandfather) and Abraham Jr.s
(Seth's grandfather) property. Abraham Jr.'s son, Solomon (Seth's father) then moved to Tremont, Schuylkill County. with his wife Salome Zimmerman (nee Koehler). I only know that Solomon was a miner due to the census. Then he had a profitable lumber business later in life. Seth was a miner for sometime and then a produce dealer. Solomon's daughter Rebecca married into the Strickler family of
Minersville. The Strickler family still reside in Schuylkill County. Solomon's wife was Salome Koehler and her mother was
Susanna Hepler. The Hepler family also went to Mahantongo, Schuylkill County from Lehigh County. There is a terrific web
site on Johan Casper Hepler who was a soldier in the Revolution. Abraham Zimmerman married Margaret Berger. My
relative, a soldier in the Revolution, Abraham had a son Abraham who married Barbara Worley back in the late 1700's. I
have extensive information on this family. I would like to talk to anyone who has information on Zimmerman's in Treemont.
Seth dies in Tremont in 1902 and Annie moves to Philadephia with two kids, Alice and Howard Zimmerman. I can find no records for any of her daughters in Philadelphia. Can you please check to see if any of these names are in the area? Seth and Annie Zimmerman have the following daughters born in Tremont, Schuykill County, Pennsylvania in the late 1870's. NEVIL, FLINKS, STEIDLE, KAY in Tremont or nearby?
