Patricia Zellner Massie at Stately Oaks Plantation, August 2004. 
This plantation was built by Whitmill Phillips Allen, and later owned by
Robert McCord (1823-1902), son of Sarah Zellner (1792-1855) and Elisha McCord (1789-1853). 
It may  have served as the model for Tara in "Gone with the Wind."   Do you have pictures or
more information about Robert McCord, his family, or his parents?  There are no photographs
of the family at the plantation, but they are the focus of their annual Christmas
celebration. 
See the plantation's web site for more information.

Wilson Zellner, an excellent saxophone player with the 83rd Division Band. 
According to the band director, Zeno King, they landed on Normandy beach about
three days after the initial landing during World War II.  Wilson Zellner was
fluent in German and assisted as an interpreter during the war.
Wilson Zellner survived WWII, and was from Pennsylvania.
(photos and information from Tom James)

Possibly this is Pierce Wilson Zellner, born Feb. 28, 1894 (or 1893), Lehigh County, PA,
resident of Parryville, Carbon County, PA, in 1942.  According to his WWII draft registration
(on Ancestry.com)
he was a self-employed hotel proprietor in Parryville.
He also registered for the WWI Draft.

Another possibility is Wilson H. Zellner, born about 1914, to Charles F. and E. Bertha Zellner,
residing in Lower Nazareth, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, in 1930.
