John Cruger (ca. 1678-1744) was possibly an immigrant from England, Holland or Germany; he had relatives in England, recorded his family records in Dutch in a Dutch Bible printed in Holland, and since 1875 some researchers have claimed him to be a descendant of the Baron von Cruger of what came to be Germany. John Cruger married Maria Cuyler on 5 March 1702/1703 in New York City, and when he died, he was buried in the Old Dutch Church in New York City. Descendants and relatives lived in New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, South Carolina, West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Washington, Oregon and elsewhere. Includes some progeny of John Cruger's relatives in England.
Norway received its name from the nearby rural community of settlers from Norway in the area known as the Fox River Settlement. The village was the center of Norwegian immigration dating to 1834. The settlers had in large part relocated from the Kendall Settlement in New York State which had been founded earlier by pioneers who arrived from Norway during 1825 aboard the Restauration. Norwegian-American pioneer leader Cleng Peerson founded this second settlement in the Fox River Valley of Illinois.
