  "GEORGE HENCKEL (1635-1678), (Henckel Records, No. 1., pp. 12-40), the  first known in our Henckel ancestral line, was born during the Thirty  Years War and was thirteen years of age at its close. About two years  thereafter (on July 25, 1650), he was entered as a student in the lower  class at the University of Giessen. The next we learn of him he 'became a  schoolmaster in 1662 and was married to Eulalia Dentzer (1640-1700), from  Steinmerk in 1666.' George taught school and their children were born at  Mehrenberg, where he dies on January 29, 1678."
