Hans Zug son of Christian appears to me to be the father of Christian and Johannes and Mortiz Zug all on the ship Francis and
Elizabeth in 1742 along with Jacob Guth their step-father. Hans’ Bible entry names the following:
1. Ana born September 1710,
2. Hans Zoug born 21 may, 1712,
3. Barbara born 16 September 1714,
4. Magdalena born 19 June 1716,
5. Kristen (sic) Zoug born 21 February 1718.
This Bible became the possession of daughter Magdalena born 19 June 1716 who married Christian Gingerich in 1737. The
Bible was passed on down by 1800 to a Kennel family who brought it to Ohio. It is now in the Trenton Ohio Historical
Society. In 1739 at the neighboring village of Salingsmuhle a widow Zug, no doubt the mother of these children, married
Jacob Guth (Good).
True, Mortiz is not named in this Hans Zaug's Bible. But it appears that Hans Zug died just before 1720 for in that year the
Wilensteinerhof Estate which he was renting and farming was leased to Christian Zug (either father or brother of Hans) and
Christian Stauffer. Since Han’s Christian was born in 1718 one would expect another child in 1720. It would seem
reasonable to me that Hans' wife was pregnant with Mortiz when Hans died and that Mortiz was born after his father's death
and therefore his father could not have written Mortiz's name and birth date in the Bible. And no one else did either. It would
also appear to me that according to tradition Maurice Nassau extended special treatment to this family because their father
had died and therefore Hans' widow named her son Mortiz for Maurice. Tradition says that Mortiz was a brother. He was
with the family on the 1742 ship.
