• Johann Peter Zinck born 1736 at Kleinheubach, Loewenstein, Wertheim

immigrated with his son, Johann Peter Zinck
Myra Zinck info:
d. 25 April 1798 at Rosebay, Lunenburg Co
He was the father of the original immigrants arriving on the Murdoch in 1751 in Halifax.

From an email Sept 96 (to Myra?) - Friedrich Lehmkuehler - in Wertheim
"Fuerst (Prince) Dominik Marquard zu Loewenstein - Wertheim-Rochefort
bought in 1721 Kleinheubach with the half of the village Neiderkinzig
and with the estate Wersau from the Grafen (counts) von Erbach.
Dominik Marquard built 1723-32 the famous castle of Kleinheubach which
became the residence of the Roman Catholic branch of the HouseLoewenstein.
Residence of the Lutheran branch (L- W -Freudenberg) was Wertheim &
Kreuzwetheim. Both branches of the family reigned commonly theGrafschaft
(county) Werthiem.

All three branches of the Loewenstein family ( the RC & Lutheran &common
archives) are now part of the Staatsarchiv Werthiem in KlosterBronnbach
(part of Wertheim). The parish records (Lutheran) of Kleinheubachare
now in Regensburg. I am not sure about the RC records but my guess is
Wuerzburg.

From this it would appear that the village was not a part of L-W. forvery
long before the migration of the Zinck's. The role of the Counts VonErbach
and the boundaries of their holdings should include the village.
