  Notes	THE HENKEL FAMILY Life Sketches of Lutheran Ministers, North Carolina and Tennessee Synods 1773-1965, pp. 86-91 The Henkel family line, which includes so many prominent Lutheran ministers, can be traced back to Reformation times. Count Conrad Henkel von Donnersmarck was a contemporary of the sixteenth century reformers. The first Henkel known to have come to America was a pastor, often called "The Pioneer", who arrived in 1717. For more than a century, through some unexplained confusion, "The Pioneer" was supposed to have been named Gerhart. The last will and testament of Anthony Jacob Henkel, found some fifty years ago, names Gerhart Anthony as "my oldest son"; and other mortuary records support this assumption. Another son of Anthony Jacob Henkel was John Justus. He and his wife Christine and their family moved to Rowan Co., N. C., at an early date. In 1760, he left North Carolina and, after several removals, finally located in Pendleton Co., Va., where he died in 1794.
