  Notes	We have normalized the surname to Zehntmeyer, but spellings in the records for Simon also include Zehendmeyer, Zehentmeyer, Zehetmeyer, and Zechetmayr. Simon first appeared in the record obtaining a job in 1650 at the Ammerndorfer Mühle in Ammerndorf, Bavaria owned at the time by Johann Preuss. This mill was built in 1607 and continues to operate, under the ownership of Albert Stinzendörfer, whose family has owned it since 1878. We visited this mill and drank beer with the Stinzendörfer family in 2010. The mill owner's daughter, Maria Preuss, became pregnant by Simon, and the two married in 1654. This explains the atypical union between Catholic and Lutheran. No further traces of the couple can be found in Ammerndorf after 1657. The year after son Jacob was born, Simon and Maria bought a house at Hauptstrasse 33 in Unterschlauersbach, Bavaria. The purchase contract lists Simon's place of origin as 'Pfaffenhofen in Bavaria.' We visited this house in 2011 and met the owners, Herr Kolb and his wife. They were very kind, and gave us a photo of the original house which had been demolished in the 1990s. This photo of the original house was taken in 1906.
