A Catherine Zimmerman is in the 1820 census for Saville Twsp. Perry Cty
1 male 16 to 18 (prob. Ben)
2 males 16 to 26 (prob. John and Jacob), Isaac, George and Ben married
1 female 10 or younger (prob. S.E. ...appears Catherine may be dead)
1 female 45 or older
Certainly looks like the right family and that Matthias died before 1820. In 1820 Isaac would be in Pine Grove and married. Since Catherine was born in 1810 (January) there should be either a will or orpahns court record. Trouble is did he die in Perry Cty or did his widow move there after the fact with a son that was taking care of her.
