I've seen that variation. I've been looking for different variations that was how I found them in 1860 in Grant Co, WI -- spelled SHIMMERMON. So far no luck finding before 1852. If they are listed, it is probably spelled so bad that I just have not been able to locate them. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
