101. ELIZABETH⁴ ZINN (tentative) (Samuel³, John Nicholas², John¹), born circa 1815 in Ohio; married JOHN EUTSLER, born circa 1818 in Ohio.

That Elizabeth Zinn was a daughter of Samuel is based on good circumstantial evidence; but I do not have a source stating that Samuel and Margaret had a daughter Elizabeth, born circa 1815. NOTE: There is no indication from the 1850-1880 federal censuses that she was "Sarah Elizabeth" as often reported in Zinn and Eutsler Message Board queries—her name was always listed with one given name, "Elizabeth." Note also that Elizabeth had a sister, Sarah.

The family lived in Jackson County, Ohio in 1850³⁰² and in Appanoose and Marion Counties, Iowa, in 1860-1880.³⁰³

In 1900, Enos, listed as divorced, was living as a boarder in Red Rock Township, Marion County, Iowa (census page 1A).
	305	vi.	Charles Eutsler; born circa 1856.

What is the relationship between Margaret (Eutsler) Zinn, born circa 1799 in Pennsylvania and John Eutsler who married Margaret's daughter Elizabeth Zinn? Andrea Haga gives cogent analysis that indicates John Eustler's father was Jacob Eutsler of Milton Township, Jackson County, Ohio, and suggests that Margaret (Eutsler) Zinn was a sister of Jacob.³⁰⁶ Therefore the John and Elizabeth (Zinn) Eutsler marriage would be a first cousin marriage.

113. LAVINIA⁴ ZINN (Abraham³, John Nicholas², John¹); born circa 1827 in Ohio; married LEVI RAGER; born circa 1826 in Pennsylvania.

In 1850, Lavinia, Levi and daughter Mary M. Rager, born 1850 in Illinois, were living in Peoria, Illinois, where Levi was enumerated as a farmer.³³⁹ I have not been able to locate Levi and Lavinia (Zinn) Rager and daughter Mary M. after the 1850 federal census.

Child of Levi and Lavinia (Zinn) Rager known from the 1850 federal census:

	351	i.	Mary5 M. Rager; born 1850 in Illinois

There was also an Eli W. Rager, born circa 1831 in Ohio, who married a Lovinia. But her maiden name was Lovinia Brown; born circa 1830 in Ohio. In 1850 Eli W. Rager had not yet married. He was born circa 1831 in Ohio. He married Lovinia/Levina Brown, 10 October 1852 in Ohio (re Ohio Marriages, 1803-1900, online in ancestry.com). Their second child was a Mary C. Rager, born circa 1855. In 1860, this family was in Violet Township, Fairfield County, Ohio, where Eli was enumerated as a farmer. By 1870, the family had moved to Pleasant Township, Hardin County, Ohio, where Eli was listed as a proprietor of a sawmill in 1870 and 1880. In 1860, 1870 and 1880, Eli and Lavinia's records are straight-forward. Lovinia (Brown) Rager died in the 1880s, and Eli married an Ann, as indicated by the 1900 federal census and by information provided by Susan Ritz who also provided much information on Eli and Lovina Rager and family.
