My name is Zug aswell. My ancestors probably came from the city named Zug in Switzerland in the 1600's to Germany. So maybe the name in the US is from southern Germany or directly from Zug, Switzerland.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073297057923413840.post-61070675897879764592020-10-08T18:38:03.112-07:002020-10-08T18:38:03.112-07:00Very interesting!

However in my mother language (Hungarian) Zug is a pretty common word and Samuel is used as "Sámuel". Plus Zug Island is close to Delray which was kind of a Hungarian immigrant territory around this time. So maybe he has some Hungarian connections.

They do not have anything on Samuel Zug purchasing land here for the Underground Railroad. Could you please give me the reference you have found for this so I can share it with the museum? It's always good to find new information. Thank you.

How many of us rode past Zug Island on the Bob-Lo (or other) boats and notes "Zug Island" with it's unusual name and belching steel mills.<br /><br />My hope for the future: I visited Oslo and Copenhagen this year. Whole districts of disused urban industrial land were transformed into vital communities of residences, shops, museums, and public space. They were pretty impressive of themselves, and interesting places to visit or live.BAKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00279830033473558147noreply@blogger.com
