The Handbook of Texas Online,
http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/index.htmlhttp://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/index.html (search on Zorn) says that Zorn was named for Joseph Zorn, who had store there in the 1850s.A further entry for Max Starcke, who was born there, confirms that Zorn was formerly York Creek.However, Wise County, Texas is well north of York Creek/Zorn, near Fort Worth.Try searching the utexas site for "Wise County".Good Luck, Mary!
