Ulrich Zug
Birth: 1690 Switzerland
Death: 27 Sep 1758 (aged 67œ68) Warwick, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA
Burial: Zug Family Cemetery, Penryn, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA
Memorial #: 61458669
Bio: He married Barbara Bachman (1694-1758) about 1722-1724. Peter and Ulrich Zug boarded the ship James Goodwill in Rotterdam, and arrived in America 27 Sep 1727 with four in the family. Ulrich joined the Brethren Church in 1742. He left the Mennonite faith. The White Oak Church of the Brethren has baptism records for his children. He purchased 343 acres in Warwick Twp., Lancaster Co., PA in 1743 from his brother-in-law Michael Bachman. Ulrich is buried on this farm. Ulrich and Peter Zug were brothers and came to this country from Switzerland, the grand sons of Hans Zaug, the Anabaptist preacher who was imprisioned in Swizerland, but positive proof is still needed to prove the exact name of their father. All early writers and their records agree that they were first cousins of Moritz, Christian and Johannes. Ulrich Zug settled on land in Lancaster County, in then Warwick Twp, now Penn Twp. about one mile north of Unionville near White Oak Station, Penryn. A large monument is erected and constantly maintained to his memory in a little cemetery on this farm. Michael Bachman, his brother-in-law, was a member of the Brethren church and no doubt this influenced Ulrich Zug to leave his Mennonite faith and become a member of the Brethren. All of his family became members of the Brethren Church and were active in it, with the exception of Christiana who married John Musselman and joined the Mennonite Church. It would take considerable time to count all the decendants of Ulrich Zug who either were elders or preachers in the Brethern Church and the Old Order German Baptist Brethern. Peter Zug settled near Germantown, Pa. in Bucks County. Zug means Of Big Nose. ( Excerpts from the book by Harry D. Zook, published 1983). Contributor: b. bradford (46797613) •

Ulrich and Peter Zug 1727 immigrants

Ulrich was born about 1690/2 and Peter Zug was born about 1692/4. I believe that Ulrich and Peter were brothers even though they did not settle near each other in PA. They probably settled near their in-law relation. A granddaughter of Christian Zug (1742 Immigrant) said they were brothers and cousins of her grandfather Christian and his brother‘s Johannes and Moritz. Her brother Jacob said they were uncles to Christian, Johannes and Moritz. [4 pages 349-350] Since grandchildren of Christian Zug made these statements, it is very believable that there was a relationship between the 1727 and 1742 immigrants.
The 1727 ship list for the James Goodwill says the passengers were Palatines. Richard Warren Davis in his book —The Stauffer Families of Switzerland, Germany and America (1992) shows on pages 143 and 145 that Ulrich Stauffer whose name is on the 1727 ship list just ahead of Ulrich and Peter Zug was from Signau, Switzerland. He had gone to live to near Mannheim, Germany where his wife joined him just before they left for PA. So while they were Palatines, there is a Signau connection.
Harry D. Zook says that a Peter Zug and a Hans Gsell were day workers in 1716 as inhabitants of Trippstadt, a town very near Wilensteinerhof that was named in the 1688 rental agreement above. [4 page 15] A Johannes —Gassell“ witnessed Peter Zug‘s will made on March 11, 1748 in PA. [4 page 15] Ulrich had descendants who married members of the Gsell family. So there is an Ulrich Zug and Gsell connection also.
If we grant that this —day worker of Trippstadt“ was Peter Zug the 1727 immigrant, where was Ulrich? In that Ulrich married Barbara Bachman of Oberdiessbach, Canton Bern, Switzerland, he must have been still in Switzerland and didn‘t move to the Palatinate until after his marriage. If this is true, it is fairly certain that Peter and Ulrich were not sons of Christian Zug the renter of Wilensteinerhof. They were probably his nephews and sons of Peter Zug b. 1661 son of Hans Zaugg. Richard Davis suggests this based on the naming of their children. [7 pages 429-430] It appears that Ulrich‘s wife Barbara had a brother Michael Bachman who came to Pennsylvania about 1717 and settled in what became Lancaster County. Ulrich and Barbara also settled in Lancaster County, PA. [7 pages 54-55]
Were Ulrich and Peter cousins or uncles to the 1742 immigrants? I doubt that they were first cousins because of the age difference of 22 plus years. Age wise Ulrich and Peter fit best as brothers or first cousins to Hans Zug who, I believe, was the father of the Zug immigrants of 1743. If they were brothers to Hans, one might expect them to be mentioned in some record of the Wilensteinerhof Estate. Ulrich‘s marriage as discussed above would seem to conclude that Ulrich and Peter were not brothers of Hans. If Richard Davis is correct, their fathers, Christian and Peter, were full brothers and sons of Hans Zaugg and Barbara Wys. If I‘m right the Christian and Peter were half brothers having had different mothers, Barbara Dierstein and Barbara Wys respectively. If they were half brothers, this could have caused additional confusion to descendants in Pennsylvania as to the exact relationship between the 1727 and 1743 immigrants.

The Zaugg Versammlung/Zook Family Reunion united about 650 people from 32 states, Canada and Switzerland in Morgantown, Pa., for an international family reunion at Conestoga Mennonite Church July 1 to 4.
The Zook family originated in Switzerland from the Zaugg family. During the reunion,Thomas Zaugg, historian from Switzerland, shared about their Swiss roots. Speakers stressed that there were varied names because of misspellings on ship and church records.
—My husband, Lemar and I, along with John and Ella Zook met with about 30 Swiss Zauggs (our distant cousins) at an amazing Versammlung (reunion) in Switzerland in September, 2014,“ said Lois Ann Mast of Morgantown. —They encouraged us to organize an international event in Morgantown, Pa.“

Mast said that their vision blossomed and a steering committee was formed including John and Ella Zook, Quarryville, Pa.; Doug and Lynn Zook, Anderson, Ind.; Jonas Zook, Gordonville, Pa.; J. Loren and Wanda Yoder, Belleville, Pa.; and Lemar and herself.
—This was truly a humbling experience to work together as a team with so many volunteers – when we sent out the first invitations, we vaguely thought that perhaps 300 people might be interested, but to end with more than 680 people from 32 different states, Canada and Switzerland is certainly fulfilling,“ said Mast.
The event drew people with any of the 53 variations of the Zook surname and convened at Conestoga Mennonite Church, 2779 Main Street, Morgantown. Included prevalently in the crowd were Amish women in traditional colors including purple and blue long dresses, with their hair covered in bonnets or white caps. Men wearing black long pants with suspenders, brightly colored shirts and straw brimmed hats could be seen driving horse and buggies.
Friday, July 1, two different chartered bus tours of sites in Berks, Chester and Lancaster counties were offered, both concluding with an evening Amish Wedding Feast at a local Amish Zook farm.
The first bus visited locations where four different Zug immigrants settled in America: Moritz Zug in Exton; Christian Zug in Malvern; Johannes Zug in Honey Brook; and Ulrich Zug in Warwick Twp., Lancaster County. The Zook House in Exton is where immigrant Moritz Zug moved to in 1770 from Berks County.
The second bus trip was an Amish and Mennonite tour through Lancaster County that included a visit to an Amish farm, Amish stores, Zook‘s Molasses Company, Zook‘s Mill Covered Bridge, Zook‘s Fabric Store, and Lapp‘s Ice Cream, to name a few.
Saturday morning seminars were held in the church auditorium.
Swiss musicians sang for the group dressed in Swiss garb. The local Amish and Mennonites are mostly bilingual. Speaking in Pennsylvania Dutch they were able to communicate with the Swiss whose native tongue is Swiss German.
Hisorian Thomas Zaugg from Switzerland took the audience on a journey back to Switzerland during his presentation —Tracing our Ancestry in Europe.“
Today‘s genealogists suggest that the Swiss German ”Zug‘ originates from the surname ”Zaugg‘ in Switzerland. In fact, documentation exists showing a number of Zaugg Swiss Brethren (Anabaptists).
He traced the lineage back to a Pre-Reformation church founded in Steiffesburg, Switzerland in 1224 (formerly called St. Stevens) in the area of Emmental dating back to the Roman Empire. Many of the Zaugg immigrants that came down the Rhine River and boarded ships to America in the 1700s have their roots in Signau, Switzerland, an area of Emmental.
In Bern, the region‘s capitol, is Trachselwald Castle, which is used as a prison with a very dark side. Anabaptists were persecuted and executed for their faith in tiny cells that can still be visited today. Tales of witchcraft still abide.
Caspar Zougck, of Schuselbuhl near Sumiswald, Switzerland, was one of the Anabaptist speakers at the Bern debate in 1538. Between 1529 and 1571, at least 40 executions of Swiss Brethren took place in Bern alone. Records show that Elsi Zaugg, wife of Kaspar Zaugg of Sumiswald, recanted on May 17, 1550, as did Kaspar on Jan. 24, 1554. Uli/Ulrich Zougg, a preacher in Canton Bern, was imprisoned for his beliefs in 1644. Hans Zaugg of Signau, Switzerland, was one of eight prisoners mentioned in a letter of Oct. 24, 1659, who were questioned about their religious beliefs.
Swiss genealogist Julius Billeter found hundreds of Zouggs and Zauggs in Swiss parish records between 1500 and 1700. The most (298) were found at Trub. Hans, Christian, and Ulrich were the most common names, with Peter, Jakob, Anna, Barbli, Magdalena, Katharina, Elsbeth, and Verena also popular.
—The snow covered Swiss Alps are a backdrop for the hilly farmland and meadows where 11 old villages carry the name Zaugg. Four old monasteries and many coats of arms can be found there,“ said Zaugg.
Darvin Martin of Lancaster then led a presentation about Zaugg, Zug, Zook and Zuck DNA.

He stated that the Zaugg name was found as early as 1256 about 25 generations ago. The founding members of the church were traced back before written records via DNA.
—DNA reveals No. 1. How close you are related. No. 2. How far back you share ancestors. No. 3. What two people share the same surname relative. No. 4. Reveals the migratory patterns of one‘s ancestors,“ said Martin. —All our ancestors go back to East Africa, then the Middle East, then Europe. Many settled in Palatine, most in Switzerland.“
—Humans are all at least 99.9 percent of the same DNA. Six of 20 lines started in Switzerland then migrated the three major rivers running down from the Alps. Zooks can confirm which ancestors where the original Germanic tribes, which were Roman, which lived in Alpine Europe long before any of these,“ he added.
An interesting answer to people who had DNA testing done and found a Celtic heritage was explained by Martin. The original Celts resided in Switzerland then migrated to Ireland.
This was followed by a lively question and answer session. Many in the audience had DNA research done on their lineage. An Amish woman spoke up saying she had 88 grandchildren and 45 great-grandchildren. The speaker suggested she contact the Clinic for Special Children at Strasburg, PA where they conduct research for the Amish.
This was followed by a seminar of local business people led by John Zook of Quarryville.
Lois Ann Mast of Morgantown said there were children‘s activities throughout the day.
—They included coloring, making homemade butter, by shaking cream in a pint jar with five marbles, writing with a quill pen, putting puzzles together, using stickers to find Switzerland on a map where the Zooks came from originally, buggy rides, barrel train ride, and a candy drop from the top of the Twin Valley Fire Company ladder truck,“ said Mast.
There were more than 100 children present.
—The most exciting children‘s event was a scavenger hunt where the children had to obtain signatures from different Zooks – then they qualified to receive a prize. This was exciting!“ said Kathy McClure, Mast‘s daughter. —If children are happy, the parents are happy!“
Zook vendors sold pulled pork sandwiches, BBQ chicken, meat pies, soft pretzels apple dumplings, pie, cake, donuts, whoopie pies, etc. along with meadow tea and other drinks.
Speakers discussed the 1727 and 1742 Amish immigrants and there was an old-fashioned auction of homemade Zook quilts, wooden items, and such.
Stan and Mary Zook Hess, owners of Balloon Flights Daily at St. Peters, Pa., contributed —free“ hot air balloon rides – a special hit on Saturday night!
Sunday morning opened with an outdoor worship service in a tent overlooking the beautiful Conestoga Valley preceded by Swiss singing, yodeling and alphorns. Pastor Bob Petersheim of Conestoga Mennonite Church gave the welcome. There was a hymn sing led by Nathan Peachey and music by Al and MaDonna (Zook) Holsopple family of MD, NY, PA, and Les Gustafson from Indiana and the Swiss cousins. Following the service was a lunch of bean soup, homemade bread, white pickles, and moon pies.
Several attendees contacted Mast after the family reunion.
—What a great event! It is with better understanding why our ancestors settled in Berks, Lancaster and Chester counties. So much beauty which our Lord has provided to us in the Pennsylvania mountains and valleys. I want everyone to know that I feel truly blessed to be a part of such a wonderful family. It is incredible that so many people came from so many faraway places to attend the reunion. It speaks volumes as to the interest in the Zook names,“ wrote one attendee.
Another said the reunion will be the subject of their family for many months ahead.
The theme of the weekend was —The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, we have a goodly heritage.“ Psalm 16:6.
—We were so thankful for the heritage passed on to us as Zook descendants as Amish, Mennonites, and many other denominations gathered together on Sunday morning for morning worship,“ said Mast. —It was a blessing.“

2016 ZOOK REUNION

Some made the journey by horse and buggy, others by plane. Some spell their name —Zook,“ others —Zuck“ or —Zug“ or —Zaugg.“
But for the nearly 650 people from 32 states who joined the first-of-its-kind —Zaugg Versammlung,“ or Zook family gathering, in Morgantown over the July 4 weekend, it was all about celebrating their heritage.
—It‘s just a fun time,“ says Lois Ann (Zook) Mast, one of 10 members of the event‘s steering committee.

The idea was hatched two years ago when a group of Zooks visited Switzerland to learn about their roots, Mast says. At a dinner, their Swiss hosts suggested a reunion in America.
Planning began in earnest last fall, Mast says. Organizers sent out more than 300 invitations, posted on social media and so on.
They arranged to host the gathering at Conestoga Mennonite Church. There were bus tours on Friday; seminars on family history and Zook-owned businesses plus an auction and an evening hymn sing on Saturday. Sunday‘s centerpiece was a group worship service with the Conestoga Mennonite congregation.
The bus tours were so popular that another one was added on Monday, and even it had a waiting list, Mast says.
50-plus spellings
On Saturday afternoon, hundreds of Zooks, Zugs, Zauggs and so on mixed and mingled on the grounds behind the church. (There are more than 50 variants of the spelling, organizer John Zook says.)

Teenagers played volleyball as their parents placed bids in a lively, lengthy auction held in the main tent. Families enjoyed buggy rides around the perimeter of the grounds; small children did the same in a barrel —train“ pulled by tractor.
That evening, you could go up in a tethered hot air balloon, hosted by Stan and Mary (Zook) Hess of the U.S. Hot Air Balloon Team.
—We‘ve had a great time,“ says Sandra (Sichting) Zook. She and her husband, Aubrey, call Martinsville, Indiana, their home.

—I didn‘t know we had this many Zooks,“ says their son, Matthew Zook, of South Carolina.
His 11-year-old niece, Madeline, Sandra and Aubrey‘s granddaughter, says she enjoyed the buggy ride and seeing the 3-D paintings: the art of the late Abner Zook, who created intricate painted dioramas.
Most of the auction items were made by Zooks or had a family connection. One highlight: A magnificent queen-size quilt pieced together by Barb (Zook) Swartzendruber of Denver, Colorado, and quilted by quilters from the Big Valley settlement in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania.
The first five
In America, the history of the Zooks begins with five key immigrants. Ulrich Zug and Peter Zug – who, genealogists think, were probably brothers – arrived in 1727, according to a chart provided in attendees‘ welcome packets. Brothers Johannes, Christian and Moritz Zug landed in 1742.
They left an Old World riven by religious persecution. Today, their U.S. descendants number in the thousands, probably well over 10,000, John Zook says.
They belong to various religious denominations: Mennonite, Amish, Church of the Brethren. About 10 to 20 percent of the weekend‘s participants were horse-and-buggy Amish, Mast said. Most were local, but a few came from Ohio and Indiana.
Attendees‘ name tags identified their branch of the family tree: Red for Ulrich, orange for Christian, and so on.
The scale of the event impressed Thomas Zaugg, one of half a dozen Swiss attendees. A genealogist and amateur historian, he had brought a number of coins from the 1600s and 1700s for the auction.
Proceeds from the auction plus an offering basket Sunday went toward event expenses, Mast said. Any money remaining would go toward a fund for future events.
Mast said organizers hope other areas can host future events. After all, not everyone can travel to central Pennsylvania.
In today‘s world, it‘s important to value your heritage, she says.
—We need roots,“ she says. —This is one way to focus on who we are, how we started.“
