Individual Details

The data on the early generations of this family was abstracted by John P. Dern from the Lutheran Church records at Bad Durkheim, Germany in 1964. Pfalz Bayern is now the state of Rhineland-Palinate. The German spelling of the name was closer to Beuchel. This was written as Bickel by English speaking colonists in America, and eventually became Pickel or Pickle.


Balthasar was the son of Hans Pickel and his wife Veronica whose surname is unknown. He married Anna Eva Mullier in Bad Durkheim and he died there in 1703 at age 47.

Anna Mullier Pickel's second husband, Mattheus Reinbold, brought Anna and her grown Pickel children to America. They were on Capt. William Newton's ship [listed next to Hans Michel Bickel] in the 5th party in Holland in 1709 [Rotterdam Lists]

According to THE FAITHFUL AND THE BOLD, p.35, early church services of the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church of Oldwick, Hunterdon County, NJ, were held in the home of Matthias Reinbold at Nine Mile Run. After Baltes [Johann Balthazar Pickel] married, services were held in his home.
