General Notes: Husband - John Zehring

---

He received the ordinary education afforded by the schools of the county, and was apprenticed to the trade of shoemaker. About 1813 he went to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and established himself in business. He was a member of Capt. Walker's company of volunteers which marched to the defense of Baltimore in 1814. For thirty years Mr. Zehring resided at Harrisburg. In addition to his store he was extensively engaged in the wood and coal business. In 1842 he disposed of his property and removed to Bureau County, Illinois, where he purchased a tract of land and went largely into stock-raising. He died there.
