Martha's "I Used to be a Babe" page! > > ==== ZIMMERMAN Mailing List ==== > Visit Daisy's Zimmerman Page! > http://www.rootsweb.com/~daisy/zimmerman.htm Samuel Karbender (how he spelled it when he signed his name) was from the South Mountains of current Cleveland Co., NC. He had a proven brother named Joseph Zimmerman. Joseph signed his name in German. Their mother was Margaret Gacklin/Gockly/Caquelin who died in Lancaster Co., Pa. in the 1790's. There was at least one other Zimmerman child: Salome married John Stuckey. They removed from Pa. to Ohio late in their lives. So far I have not been able to prove the husband of Margaret. Her first husband was a Zimmerman (I suspect Bastian Zimmerman of the ship Pink Plaisance 1732) and second husband was the Caquelin/ variously spelled. Bastian Zimmerman was either a brother or first cousin of Christian Zimmerman. We have yet to prove all these lines. Robert Carpenter
