Brousing through the archives for this list, I've come across various posts making reference to the Zion Church at Winesburg. My ancestors attended this Church in Winesburg and according to information in a booklet from the 100th anniversary of the Zion Evangelical and Reformed Church in St. Joseph Co, IN; some of these families from the Church in Winesburg must have moved to St. Joseph Co, IN, as many of the same surnames are listed in early records for the church in IN. Following is a paragraph from the 100th anniversary booklet for the Zion Evangelical and Reformed Church in Madison Twp, St. Joseph Co, IN: "The "Evangelishe Zion's Gemeinde" of Madison Township, St. Joseph County, State of Indiana was organized on October 2, 1856 by the Rev. Philip Wagner. The newly formed congregation, consisting of about 19 families, elected Philip Marker as their delegate to the conference of the Evangelical Synod of North America then convening in Mansfield, Ohio during the closing days of October, 1856. At this conference, the congregation was officially recognized, and its organizing pastor, the Rev. Philip Wagner, was commissioned by the conference to be Zion's first pastor. Charter members were Philip Beehler, Peter Bollenbacher, John Schafer, Nichalaus Schlarb, Philip Schlarb, Jacob Schlarb, Matthias Klein, John Marker, Godfred Bernhard, Anton Albert, Peter Hoos, John Hoos, Christian Hinze, Mr. Ramsey, Jacob Getz, Mrs. K. Spohn, Philip Fries, Christian Horein, and Philip Marker. The first Zion Church, a hewn-log church, was erected in the Spring of 1857." I thought perhaps some of the subscribers to this list might be looking for some of the descendants of the families that attended the Winesburg Zion Church. Cindy Kimes
