--- 3rd Generation ---
4. Hans3 Rüegg was born on Mar 7, 1770 at Altlandenberg, Bauma. He was christened at Bauma on Mar 11, 1770. (There is an
inconsistency about his christening date. In the church book the date is overwritten to 7th March 1770. In later documents, however,
the 11th March 1770 is mostly found. It is possible that the 7th was the birth date and the 11th the christening date. On March 11,
1770 there is clearly no christening of a Ruegg child). He was also known as Johannes Rüegg. He moved with his fathers family in
1788 to Bussenhausen, Pfäffikon, where his father bought a mill. He married his first wife Catharina Gattiker on Feb 23, 1801 at

bankrupt. Hans Jakob then moved to a place called Berg near Pfäffikon and his wife most probably returned to Altlandenberg. The
purchaser of the mill, Hans Jakob Bosshart, was probably a relative of his wife. Jakob Bosshard was married with Margareta Rüegg.
