Freeman, July 1670, in Block Island, RI. Oct 1, 1720, Israel Dodge of New London, late of Block Island, sold land located in Block Island, formerly belonging to his father Tristram, to his brothers John, Tristram, and William of Block Island. He was on a farm in North Parish (Montville), New London, CT in 1694. In 1705 the Queen's Court reported him settled there on Indian Fields. As the New London records were burned by Benedict Arnold Sep 6, 1781, it is difficult to give dates concerning his family. Baptisms by Rev. Jas. Hillhouse, Second Cong. Church of North Parish, supply the following names of Israel's children and grandchildren. He appears to have disposed of all his real estate before his death. In 1707 he bought land in Montville of Samuel Rogers. In 1719 he and wife Hannah gave his son John a part of this land. In 1725 Johns ells same land to his brother Israel for 40 pounds. Israel Sr. gave some of this land to his sons Wiliam and Samuel, and they sell 16 acres of it in 1725 to their brother Israel. In 1727 Israel Sr. gives more of this land to son all of his own farm except improved part, " latter to fall to Samuel when Israel Sr. and wife die. In 1722 Israel gave some of this Montville land to son Thomas, "near John's portion," deed made out at Norwich. In 1724 Israel gives son Israel more of this land. In 1730 Samuel Dodge sells land in Montville "where Israel Dodge now lives" (probably brother Israel) to Gideon Comstock for 42 pounds, and this was doubtless after the death of his father and mother when the homestead had fallen to him, " said land beginning at the highway that goes to Colchester.: Robert Dodge, in his Tristram Dodge and Descendants, p. 136 et seq., has got Israel and his family badly mixed up.

From Anna Zimmerman Nelson's History:
When Philip was fourteen years old, Henry, being in need of money, advised Philip to work for someone who would pay him a salary. So it came about that he was employed by an old Scotchman for six months for ten dollars a month and board and room. When the six months were up, the Scotchman paid him the salary in silver dollars. Philip carried those sixty silver dollars home six miles to Henry, who gave him seventyfive cents out of it for spending money. This was the first spending money Philip had ever had, and the first thing he bought was a comb for himself, thinking how fine it would be to have one all his very own. Then, as most boys would have done, he bought a jack-knife, and with the money he had left, he bought a candy treat for his brothers. He was badly in need of a suit of clothes at this time, so that he could go to church and Sunday School, but that seems to have been out of the question. Adam, who was next younger than Henry, and who was now living in the United States at Preston, Minnesota, made a visit to Canada about this time. When he returned to the states, he brought Philip with him.
The PHILIP
ZIMMERMAN Obituary
Philip Zimmerman,
the youngest of seven
children, was born in
Ontario, Canada, January
10, 1851. His father,
Christian Zimmerman,
died when Philip was
five months old. At the
age of 14 it was
necessary for the boy to
earn his own living, and
he found employment on
the farm of a kindly
Scotchman, Robert
Murray, at ten dollars a
month. An older brother
had earlier left for
Minnesota and Philip
followed him. Philip's
first job was working for
Dr. Von Lochen of
Preston driving the
doctor's team and caring
for them. The following
winter, at the age of
sixteen, he joined a crew
of lumberjacks in the
pine woods along the
Mississippi.
In 1874 he married
Ernestine Krause of
Racine. They made their
home near Fairmont,
Minnesota. For two
successive years a plague
of grasshoppers
destroyed their entire
crop, so they abandoned
their farm and returned to
Spring Valley.
They settled on what is
known as the Zimmerman
Homestead, the farm 3½
miles northwest of Spring
Valley, where Mr. and Mrs.
Jack Briggs have been
living. Philip placed his
building on a hill above
Deer Creek, close to a large
spring which served for
years as a refrigerator.
As the children grew old
enough to help with the
work, more land was
acquired until the original
160 became 360 acres. For
the Zimmerman's and their
seven children this was the
good life known by the
early settlers of our
community. They "broke"
(cleared) the land, planted
crops, raised chickens and
stock. They slept on cornhusk
mattresses in summer
and feather beds in winter.
They canned from two to
four hundred quarts of fruit
yearly and made twenty
gallons of sauerkraut. They
boarded the crew of "Irish
paddies" who laid the track
for the Great Western
railroad across their farm
and built the high trestle.
There were picnics in the
"Jensen woods" and on the
winter evenings, visiting
back and forth with their
good neighbors, the Thayers, the
Hesses, and the Churchills. In
winters with the sleigh, in summer
with the "surrey with the fringe on
top," they drove every Sunday to the
first Methodist Church of Spring
Valley.
In 1924, friends and neighbors
celebrated the golden wedding
anniversary of the Zimmerman's.
Mrs. Zimmerman passed away in
1926, but Mr. Zimmerman reached
the age of 90, passing away in 1941.
Of the seven children three are
living, Annie, Alice, and Fern. In
1905 Annie, the oldest child married
a Methodist minister Fred Nelson.
They are now retired and live in Los
Altos, California. In 1899, Julius
left for western Montana and
worked with the sheep-herders and
cattlemen, an era of the early west
known today as "cowboy days."
In 1906, Albert married Anna
Thompson and farmed in the
Buckwheat Ridge community,
retiring to Spring Valley in 1946.
Edward married Tressie Tabor in
1913 and took over the old home
form, for his father retired that year
and moved to the northeast part of
Spring Valley. Minnie first taught
high school, then did graduate work
and became the librarian at Winona
State Teachers College. Alice and
Fern taught for twenty years in
Cloquet High School, Minnesota.
They now make their home with a
92-year old uncle, Julius Krause, in
Santa Ana, California.
