THE ZINK FAMILIES IN AMERICA Including many of the Archer, Colglazier, Marshal, Martin, Perisho, Seaton and Zimmerly families By DORA ZINK KELLOGG Mt1nlJtr of Th, N,W Eng/and Gl1Ilalogical SOciity COPYRIGHTED 18S3 BY DORA ZINK KELLOGG OMAHA, NI8RA8KA PU8LIIHED BY CITIZEN PRINTING CO. OMAHA, N..RAIKA 72496 I P REF ACE. J-fy presentation of the subject canied with it no special qualifications for the taik undertaken. I have simply attempted to give an account of the Zink fanlily in America. Persistent effort has been made to col1ect the facts set forth. County, town and church records have been searched. Histories, genealogies and other sources of infolmation have been freely consulted and every Zink whose address was kno\'iTnor could be obtained was written to unless his record had already been secured. Although no effort has been spared to mal{e this Genealogy complete, the migratory habit has DIade it difficult and some- times impossible to secure the complete and adequate record of this sturdy race of men and women who underwent the trials and privations of the pioneers of our country. It is an established principle that to interest others, one must himself be interested and being a Zink is my excuse for attempting this worl\ and 1 have found it fascinating; neverthe.- less, mere enthusiasm on the part of the compiler will not pro- duce a genealogy and one needs the assistance and encourage- ment of the whole family whose records he tabulates. I have had their support and I desire to place on record my thanks to tile 2in1\ family individually and col1ectively and more especially to l\Ir~. Zel1a ,\7. Atkinsonand 1\lrs. Jessie Polk Zink, but fol' whose encouragement in the early part of the work, I would have weakened and given up. Also to 1\I1's.Sarah 1\IcClure Zink of Hillsboro, O. and 1\I1's. Eva Foy O'Gorman of \Vashington D. C. who E,ecured much valuable data for me. Mrs. Atkinson furnished the material for Chapter one and of that part, the Seaton data was checked by E. W. Seaton of Martinsville, Ill. and the Martin dat..'l by Alonzo E.- l\'Iartin of West Liberty, In. Joseph Perisho data by E. E. Perisho of Streator, Il1. broug-ht to date by 1\/I1's.Josephine (Zinl\:) Cornwell of Paris, IlL 1\'11"8.Zink secured an the data of hol' husband's family. I have been (If::,kedabout Heraldic rights and I was informed by a Heraldic artist that there exists a Zinl\ coat of arms, but my research work did not discover an~. of the nec.essary infor- mation that entitled US~O such decoration. Our people seem to have avoided the pretentious thoroughfares and been content with the quiet life and green fields that lead to the door of the II .PREFACE vine clad cottage. Heraldic devices are not the only marks of family worth and the Zink family may wen be proud of at least two of the family characteristics which entitle it to distniction- its patriotism and remarkable freedom from crime. There has never been a war in our country in which the Zinks have not borne an honorable part. \Vith its men self- reliant and law-abiding and its women conspicuous for an the womanly virtues, can we fail to be proud of our connection wit11 . the family? I have placed the incomplete "sections" at the end of the work in the hope that some one more fortunate than I have been, will be able to supply the links that win connect them with their proper line of descent. In the meantime I shall continue to search for the missing Zinks. Errors win unavoidably creep into a work of this kind, but it is my hope that the Genealogy as a whole, may favorably comraend itself to the Zink family. Dora Zink Kellogg Omaha, Nebraska l\{ay 1933.

The name and number enclosed with the( ) is the Zink parent. The historical data of each person is foIlowed by a list of his children in which each child is given a number. Where the number is preceded by - it indicates that that number is dropped. The other numbers will be found farther on continuing the family record. Some data was received after the work was assembled. As far as possible it was placed where it belonged but not numbered. Some had to be placed at the end of the work. An names will be found in the index. Each chapter contains a frunily group.

Zink, Zincke, Zinch and Sinks were the comnlon spellings but a few more consonants were added to some that I presume were the same name. Because my father claimed that his early ancestors spelled the name Zinck and most of the younger ones spelled it Zink, while a few used Sink, I have considered that these spellings belonged to the same root and have tried to trace them, but the Sink people have not responded to inquiries and some of the Zincks were likewise unresponsive. Most of the Wills that I have quoted and many property transfer signatures were written in Gennan and were translated in the Court records which ro'e assumed to be correct as is also the statement that the names Cudlip & Godlove are just different translations of the name Gottlieb. The Zink family is of ancient and distinguished lineage in Germany. It is noted for the number and prominence of physicians & surgeons. Both Dr. Philip Zink & Dr. Charles Edwir. ~ink, were physicians to King :Maximilian II of Bavaria.
