Frederick Zimmerman
Jessamine County KyArchives Biography

Author: Bennett H. Young

Frederick Zimmerman.

   One of the strong characters in the early history of Jessamine county was Frederick 
Zimmerman, its 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 county. Remaining in New York 
four months two brothers settled in Culpeper county, Virginia, where was born Frederick 
Zimmerman. 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 sons of Frederick Zimmerman. 
A numerous posterity still reside in the county which their ancestor helped to redeem 
from the savages, and in the earlier history of which he was a strong and influential 
factor.
