Rev. Anthony Jacob Henkel (known in history as Rev. Gerhart Henkel), an exiled Lutheran clergyman who came from Germany to Pennsylvania in 1717; one of the founders of his church in America, and father of a great and honorable posterity. They were Palatine Germans.
The first Henchel to come to America was Rev Anthony Jacob Henchel. About the time of the unbearable religious persecution in Germany, William Penn had become head of a Colony in the new world, designated as Penn's Woods (Pennsylvania). He needed hard working, responsible colonists to help him develop this colony so he could meet the revenues required by the Crown (English Government). Penn, able to speak German, went to Frankfort and personally invited these persecuted Lutherans to come to his colony. Rev Henckel, pastor of the Lutherans, and in conflict with the Catholic
Authorities, decided to resign and join with his neighbors in 1717 to go to the new world.
Here, he resumed his pastoral duties and with his family became a leader in the religious and cultural life of the colony.
