FREDERICK ZIMMERMAN

One of the strong characters in the early history of Jessamine County was Frederick Zimmerman, it's first surveyor. His ancestors came from Salzwedel, Germany. His forefathers emigrated to New York. After a passage of six weeks over the Atlantic, they settled on the Hudson River, at the village of Rheinbeck, in Dutchess Co. Remaining in New York four months, two brothers settled in Culpepper County, VA, where Frederick Zimmerman was born. He moved to Jessamine county prior to 1792 and lived in the Marble Creek district. He married Judith Bourne, daughter of Henry Bourne. His work in the surveys of Jessamine County shows that he was a competent and faithful official. His sons and daughters have been industrious, upright citizens and have performed well the duties devolved upon them. John Zimmerman, Daniel Zimmerman, Augustus Zimmerman, and Morton Zimmerman, long and favorably known in the county were the sons of Frederick Zimmerman. A numerous posterity still reside in the county which their ancestors helped to redeem from the savages, and in the earlier of which he was a strong and influential factor.
