General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Zehring

---

The history of the Zehring family, it is claimed, dates back to the fifth century. It is stated that one of the early German emperors who had been engaged in a war with the Romans was defeated, and the sovereign took refuge in the Kaiserstuhl Mountain, in Breisgan, and was there secreted by a charcoal-burner. For assistance and the discovery of a silver-mine in the Black Forest, when the fortunes of war changed, the emperor created the charcoal-burner duke of the Province of Baden, and named him Zaehringen. Tradition further states that the Zaehrings or Zehrings of America are descendants of the house of Zaehringen of Baden. The name in America is variously written Zaehring, Zehring, Zearing, Zeyring, etc. As in the case of other families, this is due to carelessness in orthography.
