Frederick Zimmerman, Esquire of Jessamine County - Died when thrown form his horse with such violence that it put a period immediately to his existence on Thursday evening Dec. 11, 1804.
Was evidently buried in Fayette according to John Lowen but goes on to say that he was buried on his residence on the next day.
The blooded horse was early on the scene of action in the county, as we find that in 1803, Frederick Zimmerman, county surveyor, was sent a statement by Phillip Weber, for one pound and ten shillings, due for the season of a mare to "Volunteer", a stallion of the early trotting horse strain. On May 17, 1808, Samuel McDowell, paid to "John Daugherty, of Jefferson county, one four year old Spread Eagle gelding and one four year old Spread Eagle mare, the two at $270.00". These Spread Eagle horses were the progenitors of our modern saddle horses.

Jessamine's first surveyor gets new grave marker
HOMAGE PAID TO ZIMMERMAN IN EAST HICKMAN AREA
By Greg Kocher
CENTRAL KENTUCKY BUREAU
NICHOLASVILLE - Homage was paid yesterday to the man who laid the groundwork for what became Jessamine County.
A new grave marker was dedicated for Frederick Zimmerman, the Revolutionary War soldier who was Jessamine's first county surveyor. Zimmerman is buried in the East Hickman section of northeastern Jessamine County.
A new marker was needed because Zimmerman's stone can't be read, said local history buff Clyde Bunch of Wilmore.
In 1796, Zimmerman surveyed the land that became Jessamine County. The separation of Jessamine from southern Fayette County occurred in 1798.
With encouragement from the Jessamine County Historical and Genealogical Society, private rural cemeteries across the state now have extra protection from development, thanks to a law just passed by the 2002 Kentucky legislature.
House Bill 521 -- sponsored by state Rep. Bob Damron, D-Nicholasville, and signed into law by Gov. Paul Patton on April 9 -- requires owners of burial grounds to protect them from damage, desecration and destruction. The law's inspiration came from a cemetery-protection ordinance that Jessamine Fiscal Court passed in 2000 with support from the historical society.
Zimmerman is one of more than 50 Revolutionary War soldiers who are buried in Jessamine County. They received tracts of land for their wartime service.
Had Zimmerman had his way, downtown Nicholasville would have been about three-quarters of a mile north of where it was located. And lawyer Samuel H. Woodson wanted the town about a mile south of its present spot.
But blessed are the peacemakers: A Methodist preacher, the Rev. John Metcalf, used his influence to put Nicholasville where it is today.
