ZIMMERMAN Michael Submitted by Jan Hoth. (husband of Eliz. )
No. 23 of 1823. Will dated 19 Jun 1823, filed 4 Nov 1823. Mentions wife Elizabeth, and children: Michael, David, Joseph, Daniel, Susanna m. Jacob Miller (she is to have the land of Michael's brother Jacob), Elizabeth m. David Sheffer, Nancy m. Frederick German, Lana m. John Snyder, and Catherine. Executors: Michael Zimmerman and Jacob Miller. Witnesses: Adam Maurer, Jacob Kimmel of M., and John Horner.
Question: Why does Michael now own his brother's land? This is about the time of death for Jacob's first wife. Jacob had purchased land in Brunswick Twsp., Schykill Cty in 1811.
Answer:By 1827, Jacob's first wife (sister to Michael's first wife) had already died. Why would Michael have the right to give away his brother's land? Maybe their father-in-law had made the loan and since Jacob now had a second wife he no longer had any claim to the land.
