Relatives of this KUNKEL family for many years have told the story that Henry (b. 1751) came to America with two brothers, Michael and David, as Hessian Soldiers to fight for the Crown. Family stories say that Michael's family emigrated to INDIANA, or to ILLINOIS, and David's line to VIRGINIA.
A note written on the back of the family record of Henry Kunkel-II, (Courtesy of, Daniel Kunkel McDonald, of 2522 Pacific St. St. Louis, Missouri in 1980, whose mother Ida Kunkel-McDonald, died in 1947, had in her papers) It reads as follows: "King George, sold the three boys, HENRY, MICHAEL and DAVID KUNKEL for transportation to America after the war was over and they wished to stay here. They were subjects of the King of Hesse and were sent to fight. When they arrived, they found they were going to fight People of there own home lands, so they refused to fight. Mr. Kleinfelter bought Henry Kunkel-I. It would take seven years to pay the debt to King George. The King had placed such a heavy duty tax on the land owners, that they could not pay it. Kleinfelter, went for days trying to borrow money to pay the heavy tax, but was unable to do it. So he thought he would loose the land. Henry Kunkel asked him how much it would take. He opened his vest - - around him he had a money belt in which was enough money to pay the tax. Kleinfelter deeded half of the land to Henry Kunkel-I, who in turn married Kleinfelter's daughter Elizabeth Christina. Michael Kunkel was sold to a man in Pennsylvania, and David Kunkel was sold to a man in Virginia."

General Notes: My sister went to Shaffer's Church cemetery and was able to confirm that Samuel F. Markel (my great-grandfather) was indeed the son of William Markel and Sarah Fuhrman Markel (also parents of Amanda Markel Kessler). He is buried right beside them with the same type grave stone. For your records his date of birth was December 18, 1862 and he died in a fall from a roof on July 7, 1895. He was married to Sarah Alice Saltzgiver (born 1865 and died 1954). She remarried a man named Case and she is buried next to Samuel. Her headstone reads S. Alice Case. There were also several babies that said son or daughter of William and Sarah buried there. Samuel and Sarah Markel had I believe 6 children (1 girl and 5 boys). My grandmother was the girl (Lillie May Markel), born May 29, 1885 in Codorus Township, York County, Pa, baptized by Reverend Ketterman on July 12, 19=885. She died on March 21, 1983 and is buried in Mount Rose Cemetary. Her married name was Rapp. Hope you can use some to this. Thanks Doug [Wert] dwert@jockeyclub.com
