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) •
