Menachem (Menke) ben Meir II, Bloch is mentioned 75 times between 1710 and 1745. He died around 1742. His designation in the Stühlingen family tree is 'C2.1.2.1.1'. His father was Meir (Mayerle) ben Menachem, Bloch.

Menke ben Meir Bloch II was named after his grandfather Menachem ben Meir. He was under Protection in Stühlingen from 1711 to 1740 when he converted to Catholicism and took on the name Frantz Antonius Vest[R1148; 10.12.1740] having been baptised in the church of the Rheinau monastery in October 1740. However, the actual entry in the churchbook seems to have been inserted at a later date, probably, at the occasion of his death of an `infectious fever, residing in Erzingen` in November 1742. RR#11: The baptismal entry is interesting for another reason: it gives the actual age of Mencke as 59 years old in 1740, thus he received protection at the age of 29, which tells us something about a typical age, when Jews in Stühlingen set up their own household. Since Mencke`s grandfather had died around 1677, Mencke could easily have claimed a regular protection slot much earlier. It is likely that he had gotten married around 1700 based on the the year his son Mayer jung, krumm acquired protection. He must then have lived married in his father`s household for at least another ten years. In 1726 he actually purchased a house [R804; 03.01.1726]. .
