My ancestors Christian and Catharine Mensch came from Pennsylvania and settled in what was once the Fisher Settlement which was southeast of Homer, Calhoun Co., MI in 1833/34. Mariah's parents were Adam and Maria Mensch, Christian's nephew. I'm trying to trace all known descendants, and that's how I got to Charles Hoag. I notice Bedford is north of Augusta. I live in So California but was just back there the end of August for my aunt's funeral. Have you check the MichGenWeb site yet? If not, go here: http://www.rootswebcom/~migenweb/
