Seeking to learn if there is a family connection for Joseph Zinck to Celestine Zinck of Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio.

CELESTINE ZINCK was born in France (aka Alsace, Alsace-Lorraine, Germany, Prussia) to unknown parents in the year 1822. It appears that he immigrated to the United States as a young man and settled in Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio. He married 28 June 1847 at the Emmanuel Catholic Church in Dayton, Ohio to Regina Rachel Lehmann (aka Lehman), dau/o Michel/Michael Lehmann & Marie Madeleine/Magdelena Biam who immigrated from Schirrhein, Alsace, Bas-Rhin, France.

In 1856 Celestine and Rachel operated a grocery store at the corner of Main & Washington Streets in Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio. The family lived above the store.

The family was of the Roman Catholic faith and attended Emmanuel Catholic Church where their children were baptized, confirmed, and married.
(Source: 1983, Eugene Leo LEHMAN (deceased), 5234 Bittersweet Drive, Dayton, OH 45429)

At the time of the 1860 Census the family's surname was found recorded as Zink at Dwelling #2104-2205 with Henry Hochwalt & wife, Mary (nee Lehmann) Hochwalt and family residing at Dwelling #2103-2203. Mary Magdelena, wife of Henry Hochwalt, was sister of Regina Rachel, wife of Celestine Zinck. Regina was born in France, but Mary was born in Stark County, Ohio.

There is no 1890 U. S. Federal Census. However, between 1880 and 1890 it is assumed that the Zinck children grew to adulthood and that the living family members continued to reside at Dayton.

Most of the folks attending are not known by this researcher (ASH). Julia Ann Lehmann married Nicholas Michael Larger, ancestor of the LARGER family in Ft. Loramie, Shelby Co., OH and some of the LARGERs probably in Dayton, Montgomery Co., OH. John Lehman is probably a descendant of our Lehman(n) family. There also appears to be a Lehman(n) family connection to the Menke family.

The LEHMANNs, FRICKs, ZINCKs (Celestine), & LINGLEs are known to have been related by marriage.
The EGETTERs & ZINCKs (Joseph) are known to have been related by marriage.
A close relationship is probable between Celestine Zinck family and Joseph Zinck family with Celestine and Joseph as probable brothers, perhaps cousins.

The MYSTERY of the ALLHOFF-ZINCK FAMILY CONNECTION


This newspaper article (below) in 1902 appears to link the Joseph Zinck family to the Celestine Zinck family.
The family connection appears to be along the ZINCK family line with the ALLHOFF family.


Placerville, California
Mountain Democrat
September 27, 1902
Courtesy of: C. J. Egetter

"Mrs. Kate Saettle [sic] and Mrs. Eggetter [sic] and son, of Dayton, Ohio, arrived in Placerville last Saturday evening for a brief visit with M. J. Allhoff. The ladies are cousins of Mr. Allhoff's mother, whom they had just visited at San Jose. The party visited Coloma Sunday as the guests of Mr. Allhoff and on Tuesday left for Sacramento, en route to Ohio."

[Note: Mrs. Kate Saettle was Katherine "Kate" Theodora (Zinck) Saettle, dau/o Celestine Zinck & Regina Rachel Lehmann and wife of George Saettel.
Mrs. Egetter was Melania "Nellie"(Zinck) Egetter, dau/o Joseph Zinck & Theresa (perhaps Bechel) and wife of Marx "Martin" Egetter.
Were the two Zinck ladies cousins between themselves and then with Mrs. Allhoff? If so, what was the three way relationship?
Mrs. Egetter's son was probably s/o Martin Egetter and Melania Zinck in the person of Charles Henry Egetter, gf/o C. J. Egetter, contributor to this biography. Charles would have been 24 years of age at the time, and perhaps Charles was influenced by the visit, for a few years later, Charles moved to California.
Mrs. Allhoff was Louisa (Weaver/Wever) Allhoff-Chalmers-Hardie, and M. J. Allhoff was her son. [Mr. Allhoff’s mother was a colorful character who played a major (and well recorded) role in the aftermath of the gold rush in El Dorado County, and the rise of the vineyard, wine, and hotel business in Coloma and vicinity. CJE]
However, the exact family connections are unknown.
1. Were Celestine Zinck & Joseph Zinck brothers?
2. How are Allhoffs and said cousins of Mrs. Allhoff related? ASH, CJE]

Joseph Zinck and wife, Theresa are buried at Calvary Cemetery in Dayton, Ohio, but their gravestones are not located in the same section as the Celestine Zinck family. Also, there is a huge section in the cemetery with many monuments devoted to the Allhoff family who are probably related.


Egetter variants: Eggetter, Edgeter, Agetter, etc.
Zinck variant: Zink
Allhoff variant: Althoff
Saettel variant: Settle, Saettle
Lehmann variants: Lehman, Layman in Seneca & Wyandot Cos., OH
