This branch of the Austrian Hesch family is descended from Johann Hesch and his wife Marya (Schlinz) Hesch, who came to America from Oberschlagles, Bohemia with three sons: Paul, Mathias, and Anton. +++Johann & Marya settled in Buffalo County, Wisconsin but moved to Pierz, Mn in about 1885. .+++Mathias settled in Waumandee, Wisconsin and moved to Pierz in 1911. +++Anton never married but farmed with his dad in Agram Township, where he died in 1911.+++And Paul, my great grandfather, settled five miles away, in Buckman, Minnesota. He died there in 1900.

Pete Blake



From "The History of the Upper Mississippi Valley" published in 1881, available online at Google Books


I know I've heard of Pete Blake in Buckman. Was his wife Christina MUELLER? Maybe I'm thinking of this couples' son... And, now, I'm trying to remember who mentioned Pete Blake to me lately....
It's a tough job, but somebody'd gotta do it...lol
