Jacob Anthony HENCKEL

(7 July 1709 - 21 July 1751)

Jacob Anthony HENCKEL, because of similarity of names with that of the father, has often been designated as Anthony the second and, like the father, was an emigrant to the Province of Pennsylvania in 1717. He died at Germantown, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania January 21, 1751 and is buried in St, Michael's Lutheran Church Cemetery where the remains of his parents had been interred.

Under the provisions of his father's Will, he inherited at the age of 19, the home and 100 acres of the paternal homestead in Falckner's Swamp, New Hanover Township, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. Here he lived when he married about 1732, Anna Margaret . She was born June 28, 1711 in England. After the marriage, the mother, Maria Elizabeth HENCKEL, continued to make her home with them until her death at Germantown, January 27, 1744.

Soon after the arrival in America of his family, the emigrant and his sons changed the spelling of the name by dropping"c" and thereafter for a period, the Henkel appeared in common usage. In the succeeding generation, a grandson, Anthony Henkel, III, again the spelling of the name, this time to HINKLE. While HENKEL and HENKLE continued in use in many families, the greater number of descendants retain spelling Hinkle and this is especially true of descendants of the Sixth Branch .
