Zuppinger
The name orginated from a farm hamlet "Zuppigen" near St. Gallenkappel in present day Swiss Canton of
St. Gall. Folks from there were "Zuppigers" and one branch that moved away wound up as Zuppinger. A young
married couple, first names unknown, are listed as residents of the parish of Fischenthal in Canton Zurich
in a 1469 tax record. Much thanks to Daniel Bly for the information on this page! Also take a look at this FamilySearch Tree from fellow Zuppinger/Suppinger descendant Brian Supinger.
| Rudolph Zuppinger | ? | Rudolph Zuppinger was listed in later records as the tenant of a farm called "Wydum" that belonged to the monastery at Fischenthal. In 1521, He and his six sons, were given perpetual hereditary right to the farm as long as they paid certain fees and pastured animals belonging to the monastery. Not long after that the Reformation occurred in Canton Zurich and the monastery was abolished. The farm became property of the Reformed Church, but the descendants of Rudolph continued to occupy it for another century and half. The six sons were Vinzenz, Simon, Hans, Moritz, Jacob and Wilhelm. Some of these moved elsewhere but Vinzenz, Jacob and Wilhelm remained at Fischenthal. Wilhelm lived at Wydum. Vinzenz lived at farm called "Boden." | ||||||||||||
