Information about this family was obtained from the book by Samuel Small, Jr., in the book "Genealogical Records of George Small, Philip Albright, Johann Daniel Dunckel, William Geddes Latimer, Thomas Bartow, John Reid, Daniel Denezet, Jean Crommelin, Joel Richardson," J.B. Lippincott Company, Philadelphia Pa, 1905.

The book contains a translation of the will and inventory of Johann Daniel Dunckel.

Johann Daniel Dunckel (Dinkel) was a nobleman of Strasbourg, Alsace (now in Germany). The Dunckel Coat of Arms represents three heads and sheaves of wheat on a shield, with a coat of armor above, surmounted by three heads and sheaves of wheat.

Maria Ursula Von Ernest was also of noble birth. In a German Hymn Book (edition of 1733) of hers is the inscription: "Maria Ursula Duncklerin, Geborin Gornussin Von Colmar: geboren 1713, den 2 April" (Maria Ursula Dunckel, of noble birth from Colmar, born April 2, 1713).

According to a tradition, her father's name was Peter Von Ernest. The Von Ernest Coat of Arms consists of an anchor in a shield, above it a coat or tunic of armor, surmounted by a dove with olive branches in its mouth.


At the baptism of their son, Peter Dinkel, the King and Queen of Prussia were sponsors. The baptismal cloth, a square piece of silk velvet with tassels, used on that occasion, was afterwards used in the baptism of Maria Ursula's grandchildren.

After their emigration to the New World, America, Johann Daniel, Maria Ursula and their children settled in York, York County, Pennsylvania. Maria Ursula Dunckel was called "Shiny Cap Dinkel" by the people of York, from the handsome cap and robe she wore, spangled with gold. She sat in state one day in the year to receive her children, grandchildren, and friends. The pews occupied by the family in Christ Lutheran Church, York, were known as the royal pews, and were not allowed to be profaned by occupancy of the unaristocratic. She sold her jewels for $2000, and with the proceeds purchased a house on the south side of West Market Street, below Beaver Street. A large number of her descendants attained distinction in both civil and military life.

The remains of Maria Ursula Dunckel lie in Christ Lutheran churchyard in York, Pennsylvania, with the inscription "Hier Ruhet Maria Ursula Dinkel, Geborn 2ten April 1713; Gestorben den 29ten September, 1793. Jahres Alten 80 Jahr, 6 Monate Weniger 3 Tage." The footstone has the initials "M.U.D."

The location of the remains of Johann Daniel Dunckel are in Bridgewater, Rockingham County, Virginia.
The will of (Johann) Daniel Dinkel reads (translation obtained from Small's book):
"In the name of God Amen the sixth day of April in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and fifty four (04-06-1754) I, Daniel Dinkel in the town and county of York and province of Pennsilvania Yoeman being at present well & healthy in body & of perfect mind and memory thansk be given unto God therefore calling unto Mind the mortality of my body and knowing that it is appointed for all man once to Dye, do make and ordain this my last will and testament. That is to say principally and first of all I give and recommend my soul into the hands of God that gave it and for my body I recommend my soul into the hands of God that gave it and for my body I recommend it to the earth to be buried in a Christianlike and decent manner at the discretion of my executors, nothing doubting but at the general resurrection I shall receive the same again by the mighty power of God and as touching such worldly estate wherewith it has pleased God to bless me in this life I give devise and dispose of the same in the following manner and form viz:

"Lastly, I constitute, nominate and appoint my dearly beloved wife Mary Ursula Dinkel and my trusty friends George Son and George Christian Sinn to be my only and sole Executors of this my last Will and testament. And I do hereby utterly disallow Revoke and Disannul all and every formar Testaments, Wills, legacies and Exec-rs by me in any ways before this time named Willed and bequeathed ratifying and confirming this and no other to be my last Will and testament.
"In Witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal dated the day and year first above written.
"Daniel Dinkel" (seal)
"Witnesses: Jacob Billmyer, Jacob Fackler, Barthl. Maul.
The will was probated on 7th of November 1755 (York County, Pennsylvania Will Book A, page 119).


An extensive inventory of the goods of Johan Daniel Dinkel deceased was taken in December 1755 by Jacob Billmyer and Jacob Fackler (qualified 29 December 1755). The inventory totaled 52 pounds, 7 shillings, 6 pence.
At a session of the Orphans' court held 29 March 1759, the widow petitioned:

"Maria Urshula Hermsdorf late the widow of Johan Daniel Dinkle late of York Town deceased, Came into Court and prayed that Johan Peter Dinkle a minor orphan son of the aforesaid Johan Daniel Dinkle aged seventeen years the seventeenth day of June last may be bound an apprentice to Johannes Sputter of York Town Sadler. It is considered by the Court and the said Johan Peter Dinkle is hereby bound an apprentice to the said Johannes Sputter until he shall be aged twenty one years. In consideration whereof the said Johannes Sputter doth covenant and agree to teach or cause to be taught to the said apprentice the Art or Mystery of a sadler which he now practiseth and to furnish and allow the said apprentice sufficient Meat, drink, apparel, washing and lodging during ther said term and at the expiration thereof to pay unto him two suits of apparel one whereof shall be new and of the value of nine pounds or nine pounds in Money which the said apprentice shall there choose." (York County, Pennsylvania, Orphans' Court Docket A, page 128).
