History of Berrien Co.
In 1845, Isaac FINCH settled in Hagar with his wife (Hannah Deyo), five children, and Mrs. Kimme, his grandmother, from Madison Co., Ind., to Niles Twp., in Michigan. Isaac Finch Jr. entered 40 acres of land on section 12. The Finches stopped with Mathias Farnum until they erected a log cabin upon their place. Alexis D. Finch, another of the sons, bought at the same time 50 acres of Mr. Farnum, on section 13, and there he still resides. The elder Finch lived with his son Isaac until his death in 1853. Of Mr. Finch's five children, who came to Hagar with him, those living in Hagar are Alexis D., Sarah Finch, and Mrs. William HUYCK (nee Jane Finch). When Mr. Finch settled in Hagar the only families residing on the west side of the river were the Bundys, Farnums, McCreas, and Lambs. Mr. Isaac Finch's grandmother, Mrs. Kimme*, reached the advanced age of 92, when she died in Hagar. She was buried upon the Farnum place. Her father, who died in New York, was 114 when he died.
*The book erroneously identified Mrs. Kimme as Isaac's grandmother when she was really his grandmother's sister: her name was Margaret Clark Kimme, born 3/15/1757 and died 4/3/1848 in Hagar Township, buried on the Farnum place.
