Alexander "Alex" ZIMMER; son of William ZIMMER and Sarah Ann KIZER; born 25 December 1822 (headstone), New York; died at age 85 on 17 December 1907, Clinton, Clinton Co., Iowa; buried 19 December 1907, Springdale Cemetery, Clinton, Clinton Co., Iowa.
1850 CENSUS:
Alexander is enumerated with his parents, born about 1837.
This year makes a more plausible birth year than tombstone 1822 because his parents would have been married too young. His birth years vary so much I cannot be sure of any of them.
