Subject: Bob's Children Revisited Again

There has been some loose talk lately, and some loose spelling, concerning
the names and ages of Bob s children.

Shelton (page 474) says that on March 1, 1977, Bob and Sara were doing the
divorce thing, arguing about their children, Maria (15), Jesse (11), Anna
(9), Samuel (8), and Jacob (6).

That means that on March 1, 1995 their ages were--

Maria 33
Jesse 29
Anna 27
Samuel 26
Jacob 24

The older girl, Maria, was Sara s by a former marriage, and adopted by Bob.


Of course, in truth, we are all Bob's children, all of us.

Subject: Re: Jakob and Bob From: Wallflwr95 Date: 27 Mar 1999 15:09:52 GMT Wait a minute, I have a problem with this....it says Samuel was born in '69, and Jakob was born in '71. That would make Jakob turning 27 last December, and he would turn 28 this yr. Jakob is 29 right now, and he is going to be 30 in December because he was born in '69. The dates work out *only* if Jake was born in '69. "she hopped like an owl, only to fall like a sparrow"

Seth is David Zimmerman's son, Bob's nephew. I guess he was born between Samuel and Jacob. Scaduto got it wrong, and Spitz repeated Scaduto's error. Alan
From: Shiphour (shiphour@aol.com) Date: 30 Mar 1999 16:58:00 GMT Zusha/Zigman/Zisel/Ziske Zimmerman's (1875-1936) wife was Anna (Chana) Greenstein (c. 1878-1955), the paternal grandmother of Bobby and David. Beatty, of course, was a Stone, though I don't think she ever actually toured with Mick, Keith, and the boys. Stone was the name taken by Beatty's father, when he changed it from Solemovitz. Parts of Dylan's genealogy can now, thanks mainly to David Engel's book, _Dylan in Minnesota_, be traced as far back as some of his maternal great-great grandparents. Back beyond the Zimmermans and Solemovitzes, there are Greensteins, Edelsteins, Jaffes, Arenses, and names still [forever?] unknown.
