Notebook - Mom's Families, No. 3, Part III

Eastwood, Elizabeth. General Daniel Morgan's Life - A Summary, Morgan Migrations, Vol. 18, No. 1, Spring-Summer, 1994.
The information we have found on General Daniel Morgan's ancestry, siblings and early life is meager. The names of his parents and siblings are not known and the place of his birth is claimed by both New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Many different families have stated their relationship to him, but have not been able to prove it.
We'd like to summarize what we have found out about General Daniel Morgan's life. It is very important to read again some of the information given by James Graham, his first biographer, in 1859 (pages 17-22). Graham was married to one of Daniel's granddaughters, his evidence seems to us to be most valuable. He writes that very little is known of Daniel's ancestry, parentage and early history.  The only source was Gen. Morgan himself, who evaded answering questions and was very uncommunicative. Occasionally, in friendly conversation, something might be learned.  There was information from Rev. Dr. William Hill of the Presbyterian Church, Winchester, who was the General's pastor and intimate friend and was with him when he died. Zoe Steen Moore had heard of the conversations and friendship between the General and Doctor,from her friend Miss Snyder, Dr. Hill's niece. Daniel and his parents were of Welsh extraction; came from Wales to Philadelphia, between 1720-1730;
went up the Delaware River, settled first in Pennsylvania, later moved to New Jersey. There is no other information about them; no other children mentioned.  Graham reported a biographical sketch which said Daniel had a brother, but Graham could find no further evidence of proof for this.but Graham could find no further evidence of proof for this.but Graham could find no further evidence of proof for this.  Graham reported a biographical sketch which said Daniel had a brother, but Graham could find no further evidence of proof for this.but Graham could find no further evidence of proof for this.but Graham could find no further evidence of proof for this.  Graham reported a biographical sketch which said Daniel had a brother, but Graham could find no further evidence of proof for this.but Graham could find no further evidence of proof for this.but Graham could find no further evidence of proof for this.
. . . Let's go back to Graham's biography: Daniel went to live in Virginia in 1753 after a disagreement with his father. He had had very little education; his reading, writing and arithmetic were poor. He was rude and unpolished. However, he was a good laborer and learner when he had the opportunity; an honest and outspoken man and a good parent.  He did farm work at first; bought a wagon and team and became a wagoner; later joined the military service in the French and Indian and Revolutionary Wars. There are many records of this part of his life. He married a farmer's daughter, Abigail Bailey, or Curry, according to biographer North Callahan; he had two daughters who married and left children. They were Nancy Morgan who married Presley Neville of Allegheny County, PA and Betsy Morgan who married James Heard of New Jersey.  Daniel Morgan died in Winchester, VA 6 July 1802 in his 67th year; and was buried first in the Presbyterian churchyard, later in Mt. Hebron Cemetery.  His age at death, if correct, makes his birthdate in 1736.
Apparently no relation to us on this side of the pond.

Hinkle, George. Hinkle Family History, no imprint, 1979.
In the summer of 1978 I took a vacation trip to southern Indiana; New Market, Virginia; Pendleton County, West Virginia; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in search of our common Hinkle ancestry.  I was both proud and amazed at what I found.
. . . From Germany Valley I traveled on to Philadelphia. There I located St. Michael's Lutheran Church, which was founded in 1728 (circa) by our progenitor, Rev. Anthony Jacob Henckel, in Germantown, Pennsylvania (now a section of Philadelphia).  The church, last rebuilt in 1880 (circa), is in an excellent state of preservation and has been designated a national historical landmark. In the American Revolution it was pillaged by British troops during the Battle of Germantown. Nearby there is a Lutheran Seminary where I discovered that Rev. Anthony Jacob Henckel was significantly instrumental in founding the Eastern Synod of the Lutheran Church in the United States. Although presently surrounded by a deteriorating area, the church and grave yard are in good condition.Th e graves of Anthony Jacob and his wife are appropriately marked showing him as the founder and first pastor of St. Michael's. The address is: St. Michael's Lutheran Church, 6671 Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia 19, Pennsylvania.
Rev. Anthony Jacob Henckel and his family came to Philadelphia from Germany in 1717. Essentially he was a refugee from religious persecution. Upon arrival he purchased land and commenced circuit riding to several Lutheran congregations. In 1728, the same year he founded St. Michael's, he died from a horseback accident.
Rev. Anthony Jacob Henckel was an educated and religious man. He was a man to be proud of as an ancestor because he was dedicated to freedom and his descendants certainly did not alter this image down through the generations. . . .
Inscription from a commemorative plaque for Rev. Anthony Jacob Henckel, founder and first pastor of St. Michael's Church, and his wife Maria Elizabeth located in St. Michael's Church.
"Sprung from a distinguished and God serving ancestry, they emigrated from Germany into Pennsylvania in the year 1717, became in their turn progenitors of a stalwart race, which settled over a wide area of our country and gave to the state many useful citizens and to the church, theologians, pastors and missionaries of unswerving faith and rare ability."
The descendants of Rev. Anthony Jacob Henckel, a Lutheran minister, who immigrated to America in 1717, have organized into the The Henckel Family Association. . . . they have a Henckel Historian Dr. Burt Brown of Oregon made three trips to Germany, spending several months on each trip, seeking information about the Henckels in Germany.  When he was President of the Henckel Family Association, he sponsored the compilation of The Henckel Genealogy by William Sumner Jenkins and Minnie Wyatt Jenkins. They divided the descendants into six branches referring to the six surviving children of Rev. Henckel that came to America with him. All Hinkles are deeply indebted to him for the extensive knowledge that is now in book form.
. . . Branch VI refers to the descendants of Jacob Anthony Henkel, the tenth child of Rev. Henckel. His wife was Ann Margaret (--?--). This is the next to Branch V in size. The genealogy devotes 238 pages to this branch. These Hinkles are most numerous in North Carolina but have scattered through the states of Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, and to Missouri.
Hinkle History - Concerning the Reverend Anthony Jacob Henckel - In the thirteenth century, the population of Germany became so numerous that a surname became a necessity. The name Henckel is an abbreviation of or a diminutive of Heinrick.  To this group comes the names also of Hankle, Heinke, Henke as well as he names Henckel and Heinkel. The name Henckel has been found in the earliest records of Hungary, Austria and Germany. Upon coming to America, the c was dropped and the name became spelled as Hinkle, Henkle and Henkel.
Early History of the Henckels - The first written record of the ancestry of Rev. Anthony Jacob Henckel is the name of Casper Henckel, born in the Palatinate of Germany in 1576. Some of the Henckels of the Palatinate, had historical records showing the Henckels coming to Germany in 1526 from Hungary following the defeat of Ludwig II by the Turks. Their exact relation to the Rev. Hinkle's ancestors is unknown.  Many records were destroyed in Germany in the World Wars. Tradition in the John Justus Branch and the Jacob Anthony Branch indicated that the Henckels had a connection to royalty. This was discovered when a descendant of John Justus met a descendant of Jacob Anthony in Washington County in recent years. There had been no communication between these branches since 1761. The two branches parted ways in Rowan County,North Carolina at that date.
Casper Henckel's son Mathias was born in 1605 with the date of death unknown. Mathias' son George was born at Steinmark, District of Darmstadt, Germany in 1635, dying in 1678. George Henckel's son Philip Conrad was born after his father's death. His wife, Anna Eulalia Denzer Henckel, returned to Steinberg where her family resided.
Rev. Anthony Jacob Henckel entered Geissen University July 25, 1650. He was graduated May 5, 1688. He was ordained a minister of February 28, 1692. Geisen University is close to Steinberg, so he must have walked to the University. The University records list him as being from Meherenburg.
His first pastorate was at Eschelbronn, being appointed by Baron John Anton of the Feltz. In 1714, he was appointed by Baron Melchior to the pastorate at Monchzell. Later, he also served a church at Breitenbronn. Both of these Lutheran churches were near Heidelburg. 
These churches were supported by certain lands controlled by the Baron. The Baron, however, kept much of the rentals for himself.  From 1616 until 1669, the church at Breitenbronn was used soley by the Lutherans. the Catholics began requesting the use of this church. In 1669, the Baron ordered the church to be shared equally with the Catholics, over the strenuous objections of Rev. Henckel. While his first objections prevailed, the matter ended with the Catholics in sole possession.
This area, at the end of the 16th and early 17th century was considered by historians as being on a par with or superior to that of any area in Europe, including the British Isles. The Reformation, led by Martin Luther, aroused the Catholics in both Germany and France. In the Palatinate, their lands were often over run, their homes burned, their vineyards destroyed and livestock driven off. The Lutherans had begun to recover from this harassment, when the French under Louis XIV invaded the area. The war between the two countries raged back and forth so that the Lutherans were reduced to extreme poverty.
William Penn was in need of hard working, respectable colonists to develop his property so that he could meet the revenue demands demanded by the Crown of England. He spoke German and made a personal trip to Germany to personally invite them to Pennsylvania. The Frankford Land Company was formed and the Germans were granted over 1500 acres of land that lie north and west of Philadelphia.
Thus on September 8, 1717, Rev. Anthony Jacob Henckel came to America with seven of his children, five having died in infancy. Upon arrival, he soon purchased 250 acres of land near Pottstown in what is now Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. His son-in-law, Valentin Geiger, purchased an adjoining 250 acres. In 1721, he established St. Michael's Church in Germantown, now a part of Philadelphia.  He reorganized the Lutheran Evangelical Church at Hanover (near his home).  He established churches, christened infants, visited homes, performed marriages and established schools.
He, on occasion preached at the Trappe, Goshenhoppen and Tulenhoken churches. He was a circuit rider to several churches. While answering a call of a sick parishioner one very dark night, upon his return home, his horse stumbled, fell and fatally injured him. He died the same night at his home on Chestnut Hill (1778).  He was buried in St. Michael's Churchyard. His wife died January 23, 1744 and is buried next to her husband. There has been a plaque erected in St. Michael's in dedication to his memory. [see above].
The Henckel Coat of Arms - There appears to have been several designs patented to this famous family by the kings and emperors of Austria, Hungary and Germany from the period of 1096 to 1450. 
The Henckel Coat of Arms were decreed in 1096, pre-1400 and in 1417 AD.  The 1417 one was a shield, divided in the center; the lower field on a red background in which there were three white roses; in the upper field on yellow background, half a rampant lion with open jaws, the tail turned away from the body; a helmet on top surrounded by a royal crown from which another similar lion stands; both sides of the shield having stripes of red, yellow and blue; and blue and red respectively.

Johan Justus "Yost" Henckel - the eighth child and fifth surviving child of Rev. Anthony Jacob Henckel, was born on February 10, 1706 at Daudenzell, Germany. He died in August 1778 in Germany Valley, Augusta County, Virginia, now Pendleton County, West Virginia. He was married to Maria Magdelena Eischman in 1730.
He accompanied his father to America at the age of ten. He did not share in his father's estate at his father's death. He moved from Philadelphia to Berks County, Pa. In 1750, he sold his holdings in Pennsylvania and moved to North Carolina. He settled on Dutchman's Creek near the forks of the Yadkin River. Six sons of his brother, Jacob Anthony Henkel, accompanied him in his move. Their names were Anthony III, Charles, Peter, Michael, Henry, and Benjamin. They settled near the city of Salisbury. It was first Rowan County, but later the county was divided and the area was in the new county of Davidson.
Because of Indian depredations and other unsatisfactory conditions, Yost sold his holdings and moved to Augusta County, Virginia. . . . His nephews remained in North Carolina and during the Revolutionary War, they were involved (most of them) being in charge of wagon trains, delivering food, clothing and munitions up and down the Atlantic coast.
Miscellaneous - John Justus & Maria Magadelena (Eischman) Hinkle's daughter Hannah married Andrew Johnson.  Their son Jacob Johnson married Mary McDonough and they were the parents of President Andrew Johnson. 


House, Betty. Letter to Shelby County Public Library, June 17, 1978.
Dear Librarian:
I understand from Miss George Ann Carpenter that you are referring all genealogy inquiries to Mrs. McGinnis. I have already written her for help. 
Since doing so, I received some information and I wonder if you would be kind enough to do a quick check for me. . . . 
an obituary for a Michael G. Young, d. January 4, 1877 and is buried in Simpsonville Cemetery. 
Do your newspaper collections go back that far? If not, could you tell me if there is a collection on microfilm for the newspapers of your county housed elsewhere. . . . 
Sincerely yours,
Betty House / Mrs. W.J. House
Response hand written at the bottom of the page]
The old newspapers on file here go back to 1881 and nothing earlier. We have no newspapers on microfilm here and know of none yet. Sorry we cannot help you further. You might try the University of Kentucky library in Lexington, Ky., or the Louisville Free Public Library in Louisville, 7/17/1978.

Hall, Eric.  Goodnight - Hans Michael Goodnight (Gutknecht), the patriarch of all members of the Goodnight family in Rowan County, left Germany and arrived in Philadelphia on 4 Oct. 1752 along with his wife (name unknown) and his five year old son Christian. Hans Michael lived in Pennsylvania and Virginia for twelve years before settling in Mecklenburg County (now Cabarrus County) in 1764. Eventually Hans Michael moved to Kentucky and was killed by Indians in the year 1781.
Hans Michael's son Christian remained in Pennsylvania until he reached his early twenties. There he met and married Catherinah Cook. Christian and his wife joined his father Mecklenburg County during the mid 1770s. They had eleven chilfen. Their eighth child was Henry Michael Goodnight.
Henry Michael married Mary Rosanna Barnhardt on 15 March 1821. They lived in Cabarrus County all of their lives and were blessed with five children.  Their first born son was Aaron Lee Goodnight.
Aaron Lee was born in Cabarrus County on 23 January 1825. At the age of twenty-four he married Sarah Jane Neel. The land they lived on is today part of the city of Kannapolis.
Almost all Goodnights that live in Rowan County today can be traced back to two brothers. These two were the sons of Aaron Lee & Sarah Jane Goodnight.
The oldest of the brothers was Henry Neel Goodnight. He was born in Cabarrus County, North Carolina on 18 Oct. 1853. Henry's wife was Mary Ann Elizabeth Solome Petrea. Mary was born in Cabarrus County, North Carolina on 30 November 1855.  She was the daughter of Henry Wilson Petrea and Margaret Winecoff. Henry and Mary were married on 3 January 1877 and were blessed with seven children.
Soon after their marriage (1879) Henry and Mary moved into Rowan County. They established a large farm in the section of Rowan County that is divided by the Goodnight Road today. Many of their descendants are still living on the original farm acreage. The land that Henry and Mary settled on was still in the pristine condition that their ancestors had found in Cabarrus County when they first came to live in North Carolina in the mid 1700s.
Henry's younger brother, James Elam, probably followed him to Rowan County.  James was born on 14 November 1860. He married Margaret Elizabeth Isenhour on 19 August 1880. Together they had nine children.
From these two brothers there may be as many as one thousand descendants. Most of these are still living in the Rowan County area today.
Scott, Carol.  The Goodnight Family - Family patriarch, Hans Michael Gutknecht, as the name was originally spelled, arrived in Pennsylvania on October 4, 1752 with a five year old son Christian, a year-old daughter Susannah and a wife whose name is not known. He followed his brother Christian who had arrived three years earlier. Christian remained in Pennsylvania and later fought in the Revolution from that state.
After a short stay in Pennsylvani, however, Michael and his family moved to Bedford County, VA by 1755, the first step on their migration southward and westward. His first wife having died after bearing eight children, Michael on February 19, 1762 married Mary Landers (or Landis) in Virginia and the family moved almost immediately to Mecklenburg (now Cabarrus) County, NC. Here their first of eight children was born about 1763.
Mecklenburg County deeds show that on May 1, 1764 Michael received 190 acres of land on Three Mile Branch by deed of conveyance from James McClean, and ten years later on May 20, 1774, he sold that tract to John Phifer who owned adjoining land.
About the same time as Michael's move, his brother George, who had followed him to Pennsylvania in 1754 and then to Virginia, also came to Mecklenburg Co., and the two families lived there for around fifteen years. Michael was appointed constable of one of the Mecklenburg districts in 1775 and three years later George was appointed assessor there.
However, both Michael and George saw opportunities in Kentucky, to which three of George's sons had moved. In about 1778 these two intrepid pioneers emigrated with their families to different areas of Kentucky. George was killed by Indians in June 1790 when they took Ruddell's Station where he was living, and Michael was slain and scalped the next year while traveling the Wilderness Road near Harlan's Station, but their families continued the westward migration begun by these patriarchs.
Michael's son Christian married Catherine Cook, daughter of Nicholas Cook and his first wife Dolly Barringer in 1772 and they remained in NC. In October of 1783 Christian received a state grant of 212 acres on Coldwater Creek.
Christian died in 1825. Michael Winecoff and Michael Scott were the executors of his will proved in the October 1825 term of the Cabarrus County Pleas and Quarter Sessions Court. He is buried in the Old Bethpage Presbyterian cemetery in Rowan County but there is no death date on his tombstone. It is not known when Catherine died. Christian and Catherine were the parents of following eleven children:
  1. Elizabeth b. 6 Feb. 1773, md. Peter Condor
  2. Katherine b. 25 Oct. 1774 md. Thomas Slayton, Jr. moved to Polk Co., MO
  3. Christiana b. 16 June 1776, d. 8 Jan. 1818 md. David Neuschler
  4. Mary b. 14 Aug. 1778, d. early
  5. Michael b. 14 Aug. 1780, d. 17 Nov. 1822, md. 22 Aug. 1803 Ann Winecoff, both buried Old Bethpage.
  6. Margaret b. 18 Jan 1784, d. 19 Nov. 1844, md. 22 Aug. 1803 Michael Winecoff III both buried Coldwater
  7. George b. 18 Apr. 1786, md. 27 Aug. 1818 Rachel Murph
  8. John b. 15 Aug. 1788, md. 3 Feb. 1823 Nancy Demarcus
  9. Jacob b. 9 Jan. 1790 md. 19 May 1812 Betty Cauble
  10. Henry b. 27 Nov. 1793, d. 30 Oct. 1854, md. 15 March 1821 Mary Rosina Barnhardt
  11. Rachel b. 19 July 1795, d. 14 Jan. 1876 md. 26 May 1814 Michael Scott
All NC Goodnight descendants and many others in faraway places, come from these eleven.
Old Michael's daughter Rachel, sister of Christian, married Jacob Young [grandparents] and their grandson Solomon Young was the grandfather of President Harry Truman.
One of pioneer George's descendants, Charles Goodnight, was a noted cattleman and plainsman in Texas and New Mexico. He blazed the 700 mile trail across the two states which bears his name, "The Goodnight Trail," and he was also the inventor of the chuckwagon, which he found convenient to use when on the trail.
Snellings, Hattie. A Henckel (Hinkle) Lineage - Casper Henckel was born in Germany before 1576 and  died there on 2 March 1651 at the age of seventy five years. His son Matthias was born, again in Germany, before 1605. The George Henckel that was born in Germany before 1635 was the grandson of Casper.  This George married Anna Eulalia Dentzer who was born in 1640 and died in 1700 at the age of sixty years.  George died 29 Jan. 1678.
The Rev. Anthony Jacob Henckel, son of Georg and Anna, was born 27 Oct. 1668, also in Germany. He married Maria Elizabeth Dentzer who was born before 1671; died 23 Jan. 1744 in Pennsylvania. Anthony was a Lutheran pastor and he died in Pennsylvania on 12 Aug. 1728.
Jacob Anthony Henckel, son of Anthony and Maria, was born in Germany 9 July 1709 and died 21 Jan. 1751 in Pennsylvania. He was married to a Anna Margaret. His profession was innkeeper.
Captain Charles Hinkle, son of Jacob and Anna, was born before 1741 in Germantown, Pennsylvania. His father had died when some of the children were minors. Charles and his brothers hauled supplies by wagon from Pennsylvania to North Carolina during the Revolutionary War. A receipt for some of these supplies reads: 9 July 1781, Rowan County, NC. "This may certify that Barneat Michael Heath holed fourrigh with his wagon and two horses one day for the Publick Store. Received by me." It was signed: "Charles Hinkel Captain and As Quor master."
Charles owned land and probably lived in the Abbots Creek-Brushy Fork Creek area of Rowan which is now Davidson. Charles was married to Elizabeth Johnson of Pennsylvania, the daughter of Casper Johnson and his wife Catherine. Their known children were:
  • Casper, Sr., 
  • William born 23 Nov. 1765, died Dec. 1867; 
  • Charles Jr. married on 13 May 1797 in Rowan County to Susannah March, he died in Kentucky.
Casper Hinkle, Sr. was born before 1762 in Germantown, Pennsylvania. He married before 1780 in Rowan County to Fany Robertson who was born before 1763 in Rowan; she died in 1814 in Missouri. Casper and Fany live din Rowan, now Davidson County, NC, in Shelby County, KY and Perry County, MO. Their known children were:
  • Susannah born prior to 1860 (?)

Runyon, Robert & Amos Runyon. Runyon Genealogy, Brownsville, TX: Runyon, 1955.

John H. Runyon of Fayette County, Kentucky - came to Fayette County, Kentucky in 1800 or before. He may have come with Daniel, Reuben and Vincent Runyon, who settled in Franklin and Mason counties, Kentucky.
John H. Runyon's will was probated during the July term of Fayette County Court in 1811. In his will, he mentions his brother Francis. Witnesses to his will were Thomas H. Buckridge, Richard Baird and Benjamin Adkins.
He signed the marriage bond of William Smith to marry Agatha Galloway, a widow, September 17, 1806. Anne Runyon, sister of Agatha, gave consent and John Buchannon was the witness. Agatha and Anne were probably daughters of John H.
John Runyon married Sally Stout Feb. 1, 1808. Anthony Stout signed the marriage bond. The Stouts came with the Runyons from New Jersey. 
James Cord conveyed a parcel of land on the waters of Cane Run, Fayette County, Kentucky, for the Berea Church August 23, 1828 to John Runyon, John Graves, Adam Kemple and Thomas Cord, trustees of Berea Church. This data is recorded in Deed Book 4, p. 235. 
Nancy Runyon married Thomas Ryan, Nov. 23, 1807. Joseph Runyon signed the marriage bond and gave his personal consent. Joseph was probably a son of Phineas and Charity (Coates) Runyon. Joseph came from North Carolina and lived in Madison County, Kentucky, and later in Mercer County, Kentucky. Joseph and the Ryan families were Shakers.

The Stout Family, Genealogy Magazine, Vol. XII, No. 1, January 1925.
The Stouts in America originated with Penelope Van Princess, a native of Holland, who married Richard Stout, a son of John Stout of Nottinghamshire, Eng.  Penelope was the only survivor from a shipwrecked vessel sailing from the Old World to the New. She was picked up on the shores of Long Island by some merciful Indians and nursed back to health, the wounds on her body being stitched by withes of a tree and fishbone for a needle. She married Richard Stout in 1612(?). When a woman of 85 she said to her grandson John, "Johnnie, you put your hand through the pocket of my garment and feel the seams the Indians made then you tell it to your grandchildren, for you know it is true, and they can tell it to their grandchildren."  And so this story has been told from father to son to the present generation. John Stout, born in Orange Co., NC 8-8-1789, moved from there to Orange County, Ind., 1814.  He died there 3-30-1866, married Elizabeth Moon Stout, born Chatham County, NC 4-14-1789, twelve children. Their son, Sylvanus Stout, born 4-21-1814 died 1871, married first, Rebecca Stansfield, their son Thomas married, first, Mary M. Adams, second, Ida L. Piper.

Another noteworthy group of Germans arrived in the year 1717. It was a group of Lutherans, headed by the Rev. Anthony Jacob Henckel and his son-in-law, Valentine Geiger. They arrived on one of three vessels which reached Philadelphia in September 1717. On September 19, 1717, "Capt. Richmond, Capt. Tower & Capt. Eyers, waited upon the [Provincial] Board with a list of Palatines they had imported here from London; by which list it appeared that Capt. Richmond had imported one hundred & sixty-four, Capt. Tower ninety-one, and Capt. Eyers one hundred and eight." In 1718, Anthony Jacob Henckel acquired a tract of 250 acres in Hanover township, where as Muehlenberg testifies, he "ministered for a number of years to the first settlers of that region."

I noticed some conflicting data re Anthony Jacob Henckel:
entered University "25 July 1650"
graduated "5 May 1688 ..... did it really take him 38 years to graduate????!

Founding of St. Michael's Lutheran Church:
both dates of 1721 and 1728 given - which is it?
Thank you

In response to the questions above, in checking the source: Hinkle, George. Hinkle Family History, I found that I did not make a typo, which is always a possibility. The dates are as George Hinkle typed them in his book. It's possible that he made typos.

Additional information on St. Michael's Church is available: St. Michael's Lutheran Church

Last Church Service

The Henkel Family Records states the following:

I asked him [university librarian] first to allow me to see a list of the students of the university between 1675 and 1692. He left the room and soon returned with a printed catalogue of the students covering the period in question. He handed it to me. I opened it, and turned to the name Henckel. At once my eye fell on the following:

"Antonius Jacobus Henckel, Mehrenberg." I called to Dr. Lehnert immediately and pointed to the name. That was the first place I had seen it except in "The Henkel Memorial." He came at once, looked at the record, and said he could produce the original signature of that student made the day he entered the university in 1688. I asked him to do so. . . .

Thereupon I turned to the front of the book which had the following Latin heading:

Liber Actorum Rectoralium et Matricula Studiosorum Academiae Gissenae - Anno MDCL, indicating that it was the original book of registration of the students of the University of Giessen from the year 1650. Then I turned to the heading of the preceding page to that on which the signature of Anthony Jacob Henckel appeared, and found the following caption:

Catalogus studiosorum qui Anno MDCLXXXVIII Rectore Michael Heiland, Phil. et Med. Doctore et Prof. ord. in numerum civium academicorum sunt recepti

Immediately preceding the signature was the figure 5 and five signature above in the middle of the page was the word Majo indicating that on May 5, 1688, Anthony Jacob Henckel had matriculated as a student in Giessen University under Prof. Michael Heiland, Doctor of Philosophy & Medicine & Professor ordinary in the school.

[So I think this is where George Hinkle got the two dates 1650 and 1688 which seems pretty clear that Anthony Jacob actually matriculated in 1688 which was registered in a book that was started being used in 1650.]
