Immigrated 1732, on ship Plaisance with wife Anna Catharina Wagner, son Hans Paulus, son, Gorg Heinrich.

"Paul Hirtzel was a free citizen in good standing at the time he departed from his native village Reihen, as the records show. After their arrival here we find little or no records of them in the first five years. From the study of the events in which his son George Heinrich was involved in the next years after this, I believe the most logical conclusions are that after their arrival they came u into Franconia Township to his first cousin George Hartzel; who is known to have lived in that township at that time. Since we have nothing of them n record in these five years, another conclusion seems logical, it is possible that they may have been indentured to him, at least they probably lived with him or near him.
Their son George Heinrich Hirtzel purchased three tracts of land in 1737 and 1740, the first of t hse purchased, he was 22 years of age, which seems a young age for such a purchase totaling 306 pounds. It therefore might be that he was aided in some way by the parents, since as we see, he was their only heir.
By another event, it seems that Paul and his wife may have died before t he year 1740, what makes this evident is that he was not among his relatives when they made their Declaration of Allegiance before t he Supreme Court of Philadelphia, September 25-27, 14-, at which time his son George Heinrich Hartzel and his first cousin George Hartsell of Bucks County took the oath."--A Hartzell-Price Family History and Genealogy

"Adam Hartzell, Sr. moved from eastern PA and settled in Westmoreland Co, PA in 1794. A deed from Mr. Wm. McGray, Sr. to Adam Hartzell, Sr. recites that a tract of land was patented by John Penn the older and John Penn the younger on June 14, 1794 to Wm. McGray, and by him conveyed to Adam Hartzell, Sr. Nov 6, 1794. (Deed book 8, pg 310).
