Deb Wake had this to say about Thom's find... [JWC]
A year or two ago, I found information regarding this guy. This is what I have (from email sent to Ken Maggard, 3/17/2007): While at the VA state library yesterday, I also found a little information on Heinrich Zimmerman in:
Eshleman, H. Frank. Historic Background and Annals of the Swiss and German Pioneer Settlers of Southeastern Pennsylvania and of Their Remote Ancestors, from the Middle of the Dark Ages, Down to the Time of the Revolutionary War. Lancaster, PA: self pub.?, 1917.
p.130 [The author references other works but did not give a bibliography that I could find. I assume that Rupp is Daniel Rupp, but I'm not sure which book is being referenced here.] Rupp p. 126 Henry Zimmerman arrived in Germantown in 1698 but returned to Europe to bring back his family. They arrived in 1706 and settled first in Germantown but moved to Lancaster Co., PA in 1717 [p. 207 says this was then in Chester Co., PA]
p. 207 Emmanuel Zimmerman was the son of Henry [Emmanuel made a name for himself as a leader; was repeated re-elected despite his wishes to leave public office--he was very popular.]
p. 244 Henry Zimmerman requested a grant of 200 acres on a branch of the Conestoga in 1726
p. 260 some of the people who lived in Lancaster Co., PA in 1736 were George and Jacob Myers, Jacob Miller, Jacob Bair, and John Jacob Kreider--not sure if they're the ones that tie into the Fudge family, but the names caught my eye.
Don't know how much that helps, but it's what I have.
Deb
