Hans (John) Georg HIRTZEL Sr. was born on 30 May 1686 in Reihen, Baden, Germany. He died in 1747 in Northampton County, PA. He was buried in Saucon Twp, Bucks/Northampton County, PA. He immigrated in 1727 in the second group of Hartzells to come to America. He crossed the Atlantic in the "William and Sarah" from Rotterdam and landed in Philadelphia 18 Sept 1727. His immediate family traveled with him including younger brother Johann Jacob. He first settled in Philadelphia county about 30 miles north of Philadelphia city in an area that became Salford Township in 1728. In 1731 the area where he lived became Fanconia Township. Later yet it became Montgomery County in 1784. About 1734 he sold this and purchased 300 acres on the east branch of Saucon Creek and gave it the name "Partnership." This farm was bout 27 miles further north adjoining what is now the city of Bethlehem, PA. The location now is on the north side of the present Easton Road from Hellertown to Easton, lower Saucon Township, Northampton County.
In 1734 he conveyed the southern part of the "Partnership" to his son-in-law, Philip Schlauch, and at an undisclosed date, assigned the other half, "ba a deed in the German language" to Nicholas Transue, presumably the man with whom Hertzel had taken up the land originally. Thus, at the end of his life, Hans Georg Hertzel had no estate to be probated. There are no proceedings on record in either Bucks or Northampton County, the latter formed in 1752.
