Sources

This line is based on Dorothy Lee Grubb and Arleen Marvin Smith, Descendants of Johannes Servis (Zerbe) and Allied Lines (Peoria, Ill., 1989). The European ancestry was originally established by Henry Z Jones Jr., “Finding the Ancestral Home of a Palatine Forefather: The Case of Martin Zerbe,” Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine 29 (1975/6): 129-32. Jones also covers Johann Philip Zerbe in his series of encyclopedic works on the 1709 Palatine emigrants to New York. The Palatine Families of New York: A Study of the German Immigrants Who Arrived in Colonial New York in 1710, 2 vols. (Universal City, Calif., 1985), 2:1135-6, omits Johannes Servis, but in More Palatine Families: Some Immigrants to the Middle Colonies 1717–1776 and Their European Origins, Plus New Discoveries on German Families Who Arrived in Colonial New York in 1710, (Universal City, Calif., 1991), 381-2, Jones adopts Grubb and Smith’s placement of Johannes as probable, emphasizing the naming pattern implicit in Johannes naming a son Philip.
