• Notes

  FINK There were two original Fink men in this area. (1) Johann Fink, one of the Founders of The Hespeler Lutheran Church, whose wife was Sophia Kronow (Spelled also Gronow and Krohn). Two children were born to them in this area: (a) Johann Christian Wilhelm Fink, born in Waterloo Township, March 23rd, 1862. Witnesses to whose baptism were Christoph H. Gottlieb Prestien and his wife Dorothy (Geb.) Wegner. (b) Wilhelm Friedrich Joachim Fink, born in Puslinch Township, August 10th, 1869, at whose baptism, Joachim Fink was one of the witnesses. I am credibly informed that while in Puslinch he lived on a small place at the corner of the First concession and the Town Line. I have no information as to place of residence in Waterloo Township. He left here many years ago. Pine Bush Genealogy by W. Brewster, 1961
