"The Maxatawny Zimmerman family were Palatines from the village of Lambsheim near Frankenthal in the Electoral Palatinate. The emigrant was Abraham Zimmerman, a member of the Reformed Church, who served as town constable and is mentioned in Lambsheim records from 1704 to 1719, when he sold his village and farm properties and came to Pennsylvania. Abraham was married to Veronica Kühlwein, daughter of Hans Theobald Kühlwein and his wife Dorothea. Hans Theobald Kühlwein was received into citizenship at Lambsheim in 1663 and died before 1697. Philip Kühlewein, a son of Hans Theobald, came to Pennsylvania in 1709, settling in the Oley Valley. Matthias Bauman, emigrant in 1714, radical Pietist and founder of the 'New Born' sect that caused such a flurry in early Pennsylvania religion, married another daughter of Hans Theobald Kühlwein, and was thus, like Philip Kühlwein, a brother-in-law of Abraham Zimmerman. And I can add that Abraham's mother-in-law, the widow Dorothea Kühlwein, requested permission to leave for the 'Island of Pennsylvania' in 1719, and evidently accompanied the Zimmermans across the Atlantic to Pennsylvania."[1]
