Hello Gerri,

I believe John & Ida's daughter was named Zoa Fern and I have a note
placing her in Lansing, Michigan then Tucson, Arizona. I have no
further data on her whereabouts.

I found John & Nancy Zion on the 1850, 1870, and 1880 Wells Co, Indiana
census. The 1850 census indicated her birth place as "Ia". The 1870
and 1880 census indicated her birth place was Virginia. Her parents
birth locations were not noted. I had an idea her parents were Henry &
Sarah (maiden name unknown) Crismore, but unable to verify it as of
yet. Perhaps this will provide a lead for you. If you find a mention
of Henry & Sarah Crismore in the Crismore genealogy book you mentioned,
I would appreciate hearing the news.

Thanks, Barbara
