| Notes for Peter Zimmerman |
| A blacksmith by trade, in his will he left
his smith's tools to two of his sons, William and
Samuel.127 His
son Jacob was also a blacksmith.120 Notice that in his will
he refers to himself as Peter Carpenter. Zimmerman is the
German word for carpenter, so Peter took the literal
meaning of his name and translated it into English. Many
foreign names were anglicized in this way. |
