Anna Maria Hoover ancestry has been listed in
several Ancestry.com Family Trees reports. She was a daughter of Johan Conrad
and Anna Maria (Lentz) Huber. Johan Conrad Huber was born 25 August 1734,
probably in Germany (Swabia area) or less likely in Pennsylvania; died 30
June 1806 in Dover Township, York County, Pennsylvania; married ANNA MARIA
LENTZ; born 19 July 1731 in Germany; died 28 July 1808 in Dover Township,
York County, Pennsylvania.81 Anna Maria was reported to be a daughter of Bernard
Lentz.82 Johan Conrad Huber's parents were Johan Michael
Conradt Huber, born 20 September 1706 in Germany; died 1772 in
Pennsylvania;and Anna Barbara Wernsin, born 1706 in Germany. The parents of
Johan Michael were said to be George Jonas and Anna Maria (Kreutzer) Huber.83
One of Anna Maria’s brothers, Martin Hoover,
married Catherine Zinn (#14), a daughter of Philip Jacob and first wife Mary
Elizabeth (Bartmess) Zinn;84 hence John Jacob Zinn, who married Anna Maria Hoover,
and Catherine (Zinn) Hoover were first cousins.

I do not yet have a primary source stating that
Conrad and Daniel were sons of John Jacob and Anna Maria (Hoover) Zinn.
However, there is far-reaching circumstantial evidence; and I feel confident
in placing Conrad and Daniel as children of John Jacob and Anna Maria
(Hoover) Zinn; and therefore as descendants of John Frederick and Anna Sophia
(Schneider) Zinn, the founders in North American of this Zinn family.
(1) There were only a few early Zinn families
in Pennsylvania that could be candidates for Conrad’s family. I have been
working on the Zinns for about 30 years; and dates and locations collected
from a plethora of Zinn records and genealogies eliminate most early Zinn
families except for the descendants of the Frederick and Anna Sophia
(Schneider) Zinn family of York County, Pennsylvania, and the descendants of
Johannes (John) Jacob Zinn, born 9 April 1761, died 1 June 1832 in
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. This Johannes Zinn was a prosperous tanner. His
wife was Catherine (Greenawalt) Zinn, born 20 July 1772 in Lebanon
County—then part of Lancaster County—Pennsylvania, died 1 September 1823 in
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. There is a biography of this family,88
and I now have presumably a complete list of birth records for the children
of Johannes and Catherine Zinn from the Salem Reformed Church of Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania. There was no Conrad or Daniel, although there was a Wilhelm
Zinn, born 28 January 1799, which was the same year that Conrad was born.
(2) Two of the children of John Jacob and Anna
Maria (Hoover) with primary source documentation were Joseph Zinn, born 14
July 1800; and George Zinn, born 24 April 1808.89 Their birth and baptism records
are in “Records of Strayer’s (Salem) Reformed Church, Dover Township, York
County, Pennsylvania, 1745-1804,” volume 1, and “1804-1834,” volume 2, the
parents being Jacob and Anna Maria Zinn.90 Both Joseph and George were
eventually enumerated in Millcreek Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania, the
same township in Erie County where Daniel and Conrad lived. Joseph Zinn first
appeared in the Erie County, Pennsylvania, censuses in 1830, the year that
Conrad and Daniel were first enumerated in Erie County, and younger brother
George was enumerated in Erie County in 1840.
(3) If Conrad and Daniel were also children
Jacob and Anna Maria Zinn, their names should most likely be recorded in the
Strayer’s Church records, Daniel and Conrad both being born between 1797 and
1799. However the introduction to the “Records of Strayer’s (Salem) Reformed
Church,” state that records are incomplete; and this would especially appear
to be the case for records in the 1790s, the decade when Conrad and Daniel
were known to be born:
Years Number of entries 1770-1779 59 1780-1789 58 1790-1799 17 (no entries for 1792-1796 and 1798) 1800-1809 70
(4) Another child of John Jacob and Anna Maria
Zinn was John Zinn, born 8 February 1792; baptized 9 April 1792 in First
Moravian Church, York, York County, Pennsylvania,91 parents being listed as Jacob
Zinn and Maria Huber. The Allen Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania,
tax lists between 1817 and 182392 lists only three Zinns, Conrad,
Daniel and a John Zinn. This John was most likely the John Zinn, son of John
Jacob and Maria, and therefore brother of Conrad and Daniel.
(5) Recently three online World Tree projects
and one Family Search, Individual Records, Family History Department, Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints list Conrad, Daniel, Joseph and George
Zinn as children of John Jacob and Anna Maria (Hoover) Zinn—although no
sources were reported nor descendants listed.93 Anna Maria Hoover’s father is
listed as Johan Conradt Huber and could be the source for Conrad’s given
name.
(6) A final important point is that I can
not prove that Conrad and Daniel Zinn were not sons of John Jacob and
Anna Maria (Hoover) Zinn.
In short, the circumstantial evidence, I feel,
is overwhelming that Conrad and Daniel are children of John Jacob and Anna
Maria (Hoover) Zinn; and therefore descendants of the John Frederick and Anna
Sophia (Schneider) Zinn family.

March 1781 in Pennsylvania;94 married 6 May 1800 in the First Trinity Reformed

"Edgewater," located on the Olentangy River, may well be
described as one of the most beautiful spots in Franklin County."

Information on "Charles Zinn" (#108) is confusing. Possibly there
were two Charles Zinn's born in Jackson County, Ohio, in 1833, both having
a Samuel Zinn as father. One, as indicated above, is supposed to have died
circa 1853 and is buried in Whitsel Cemetery. The other Charles Zin was
born 13 February 1833 in Jackson County, Ohio; died 1 February 1904 in
Sedgwick County, Iowa, and has extensive biographical information in two
early Marion County, Iowa, history and biographical books.113b Possibly, indeed probably,
the Charles Zinn and the Charles Zin were the same person, meaning that our
Charles Zinn did not die in 1853. I can not find the Whitsel Cemetery on
online sources; and the item that Charles was a son of Samuel and Margaret
Eutsler is from “Descendants of Frederick Johannes ‘John’ Zinn,” by Walter
K Crawford III, online at
(http://www.wkc3.com/zinn.htm—link expired), and information provided in
2009 by James Martin (martin46538@embarqmail.com).
Two items of note are that the Charles Zin (one "n") and his
children and grandchildren, re federal censuses, consistently spelled their
name Zin instead of Zinn, and biographical information report Charles Zin's
ancestors were of English descent. However 1860 and 1870 federal censuses
link the Charles Zin dying 1904 with siblings Charlotte and Leticia Zinn
who we know were children of our Samuel and Margaret (Eutsler) Zinn.
Possibly, indeed probably, the Charles Zinn and the Charles Zin were the
same person, meaning that our Charles Zinn did not die in 1833. The matter
is unresolved. Here is a synopsis of the Charles Zin family as taken from
federal censuses and the Marion County biographical books:
Charles Zin; born 13 February 1833 in Jackson County, Ohio; died 1
February 1904 (death date from biographical information on his son George
Zin); married Elizabeth Long; born circa 1838 in Ohio; died 1913 in
Carlise, Iowa. In 1860, Charles, presumably sister Charlotte Zin and
presumably father Samuel Zin, born circa 1790 in Pennsylvania, were living
in Bellair, Appanoose County, Iowa, where Charles was farming (census page
35). In 1910, Elizabeth, widow, was living with her married daughter, Mary,
at which time Elizabeth was listed with six children, five living;
Children of Charles and Elizabeth (Long) Zin (all born in Iowa):
(a) George Zin; born 22 September 1861; married May E. Goodspeed; born
circa 1865 in Ohio. They did not have children. Federal censuses list his

She was a daughter of William and Mary Jane (London) Banta.113c Calvin, Rene and family lived
in Dallas, Marion County, where Calvin farmed, was a merchant, painter, and
was in real estate (re censuses). Apparently Calvin and Ida Irene (Adams)
Zin did not have children.
