Hans ZUG (son of Christian ZAUGG b. 1684 and Barbara GERBER?, son of Hans ZAUGG b. 1620 and Barbli DIERSTEIN; (son of Ulrich ZAUGG b. 1650 and Anni ROTLISBERGER) ) was born Abt. and died date unknown. He married Unknown.

He was living at Weisengeim am Berg in the Pfalz from 1713 until Nov.1715. He may have lived at Wilensteinerhof as his widow supposedly later lived there.

He received his Bible before 1710 from Christen Zug, prob. his father and possibly as a wedding gift. In his Bible he wrote the births of his children from 1710 to 1718. Moritz Zug, who supposedly was also a son of Hans was born abt. 1720, which may indicate that Mortiz was born after his father's death, putting Hans Zugs' death in abt. 1719 or 1720.

His widow married Jacob Guth of the Salingsmuhle near Kaiserslautern, Germany by 1739 and moved to Wilensteinerhof before emigrating to America and arriving in Philadelphia on the ship "Francis & Elizabeth" on 9-21-1742. Hans Zug's children were Amish.

=================================

"Christian Zug came to America with his two brothers on Sept 21, 1742 on the ship Francis and Elizabeth, George North, Master from Rotterdam.

They? were sold for their passage money.

Christian was first married to Anna Kanabell who was the mother of his children.

After her death he married widow Dodera Mishler, who was the mother of Veronica Mishler, wife of Christian Miller.

After her death he married widow Anna Reichenbach. Christian settled in Berks County, Pa.

Christian's grandfather Hans Zug was was a mennonite minister who was imprisoned in Bern, Switzerland with six others for their faith. Spelt and Rye being their main food while forced into hard labor to pay the expenses they caused as recorded in the Martyrs Mirror. By the intercession of the United Netherland's government, they were released and banished from the country. Hans went to southern Germany where he raised his family of twelve children.

Christian's son Jacob married to Anna Long, moved to Somerset County in 1776 in the Berlin area on the farm now owned by the Calvin Will family, and occupied by James Will. In 1812 Jacob moved to Holmes County, Ohio."

"The Christian Zug house built before 1760 was about 10 miles from Valley Forge.

Family tradition tells that during the Revolutionary War American soldiers tore away fences, etc....once when old mother Zug was talking fresh loaves from the oven, some soldiers snatched away all but 1 loaf, which she had hidden under her apron. She ran into the house saying, "this one is for me." The soldiers didn't argue, they let her have it.

SOURCE: "Amish and Amish Mennonite Genealogies," Hugh F. Gingerich & Rachael W. Kreider, 1986, p.547

"By 1785 Christian had married his third wife Anna, "widow and relict of John Reichnbach, late of the Township of Caernarvon in the County of Berks"... Christian's will and estate papers have provided information on his wives, children, and step children. These Chester County documents have served to clarify the discrepancies among the early published genealogies of this family where wives Dorothea and Anna and the families of sons Yost and Jacob have been confused."

Christian Zug died December 17 1787 in E. Whiteland T., Chester County, Pa. His birthdate is unknown.

His first wife was Anna Knoble or Knabble, with whom he had eight children (I can't write the German character). The second one is Barbara Zug born Sept 1742, died 1815. She married Michael J. Beeghly as second wife, his first wife being Barro Inken. The other cildren were:

• Anna,
• Elizabeth,
• John,
• Yost,
• Mary,
• Jacob and
• Christian.

Barbara was born about the time of their landing in Philadelphia. She is proven as a daughter in his will which is in the book. Christian's bible was sold in his estate sale and has been lost (probably with much valuable information.)
