Not related. Just posting info I hope will help someone solve a mystery of a disappearing child.
FROM: Biographical and Historical Record of Kosciusko County Indiana, 1887. page 519.
W. C. ZINN, farmer and stock raiser, section 32, Scott Township, was born in Preston County, West Virginia , September 6, 1835. His mother died when he was quite young, leaving a brother and sister older than himself. He was taken into the family of JOHN ANGLIN, who then lived in Barbour County, sixty miles away, near Phillippi.
In the fall of 1836 the ANGLINS, with a number of other families, started for this county (Kosciusko Co, IN), and secretly brought him with them. They first stopped in Prairie Township. In the fall of 1839 they entered forty acres of wild land from the government afterward adding eighty acres more. He was but four years old when brought to this farm, right in the woods, The family moved into a small log cabin, in which they lived for many years. There were but three families living within a radius of two miles, their names being MARTING, ANGLIN, and BIGGS. This was then a wild country, full of all kinds of wild game, and the Indians were yet here in the county.
MR. ZINN was reared in ANGLIN'S family as one of their own children, and for many years he knew no difference, but was treated as their own child. . . . .
