Family (children) may have initially immigrated to the Huron region in Ohio. From there, Heinreich was one of the first settlers to the Wright Twp / Ottawa Co region in Michigan.

All of Catherine Host's surviving siblings departed Huron County, Ohio during the 1840s and relocated to Wright Twp., Ottawa County, Michigan. Her brother Henry Host in 1844 was possibly one of the first to settle in the wilderness of Wright Twp and was instrumental in establishing St. Joseph's Catholic church. These were not the only Seneca & Huron County residents relocating to Michigan. At about the same time several other Huron County familiar surname families from Ohio moved to Wright, Michigan. These included Omlor (Umlor), Zimmer, Ruffing, Braun (Brown), and others.
