Huggs from Sweden

For years -- you could say for generations -- it was thought that my Hugg line was part of the well researched New Jersey Hugg line, which started with John Hugg in the early colony of New Jersey. However, as my research goes on, it has become apparent that my line is most likely seperate, and started in the New World on some part of the Delmarva Peninsula, in the 17th century.

As the Delaware was settled by the Swedish in the early and mid 17th century, it seems plausible that my line is from Sweden. Did a little checking tonight and it seems that there were (are?) Huggs in Sweden and that some of them have immigrated to North America.

Unfortunately, this first search found only Huggs that came to America in the 19th century. The search found several Hugg immigrants in Minnesota..."don't cha know."
