Biography

Jacob Zimmerman and Anna Margaretha Jung were Palatines that came to North America in 1710. ^[1]

"Johann Jacob Zimmerman, the immigrant and first know ancestor, who at the time of his marriage in 1685 lived in the village of Dunzweiler in Germany. "
Johann Jacob and Anna Maria Margaretha immigrated to America in 1709 with the thousands of Germans who left their homeland, the Rhineland-Palatinate, to escape the poor economic conditions. ^[2]
Children:

1. Jacob (1691)
2. Johann Mattias (1705, died young).

According to the 1696 tax list, Johan Jacob Zimmerman was a farmer in the village of Dunzweiler. The cattle census of 1704 shows he had 2 oxen and 3 cows there. However, his farm was probably destroyed by the French Army and thus he took his family and fled for safety to the Netherlands, then England, then New York. He is shown on the 1710 Palatine list as having a family of 4. ^[3]

Johann Jacob Zimmerman was born about 1665 in Dunzweiler, Kusel, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. ^[4] He passed away about January 1711 at Livingston Manor, Albany, New York Colony.^[4] He is buried in Livingston Manor, Columbia, NY.^[4]
