My great grandfather, Johann Anton Munch, came to the Port of New Orleans in June 1836. He came up the Ohio and Mississippi River Valleys. There were other families in Pike County from Schwegenheim, Germany who apparently sent letters back letting others know about Pike County. Johann went back to Germany in the spring of 1839 and married Maria Elisabetha Jung. They returned that fall and settled at the farm in Beaver, where they had 11 children. My grandfather, Valentine Minch was the last child born on Nov. 12, 1862.
