I wonder if this is the same Sebastian Zimmerman who had the daughter
Lydia who married Jacob Neidlinger...
From Floyd's History of Northumberland County:
Sebastian Zimmerman, his grandfather, was born in Berks county, whence
when a boy he moved with his father, who, it would appear, had a farm at the
upper end of the Deep creek, where Sebastian was reared. He was a weaver by
trade, and owned a loom, but he was likewise a prosperousfarmer, owning several
farms in Upper Mahantango township, Schuylkill county. The one there on which
he lived was formerly owned by Benjamin Peifer and isnow owned by a Hepler;
another was owned by Jacob and Abraham Blasser, of Herndon, until 1907. Removing
to Cameron township, Northumberland county, he lived there some years, moving to
the Mahantango valley, where he farmed until hisdeath. He was a foremost
member of the Lutheran congregation of Salem Church, known as Herb Church,
located near Rough and Ready, serving as elder and trustee, and he and his wife
are buried at that church. During the war of 1812 hewas a soldier, and he was
one of the pensioners of that war. Sebastian Zimmerman married Elizabeth Klock,
daughter of Peter Klock, and they had children as follows: Joseph, a farmer, who
settled at Red Bank, Jefferson Co., Pa., was twice married and had children;
Elizabeth married a Bliss; Catharine married George C. Peifer; Salome married
Mr. Kline, and they moved to Jefferson county;Lydia married a Snyder;
Sebastian, born in 1829, lives at Sunbury, this county; George is mentioned
below: Esther married Joel Daniel.
[note, it says Elizabeth Klock, d/o Peter Klock]
