Not much is known on this branchof the family due to John dying before most of his grandchildren were born and Emma who refused to acknowledge she ever had a family. This from Rick Shelton.

All children were reared in Reihen, about 23 miles southeast of Heidelberg. They were members of the Evangelishe (Reformed) Kirche of Reihen.
The identification of the Hirzel (Hirtzel) families in Reihen was undertaken in 1961 for Mr. Charles H. Price Jr of Telford, Pa. The registers of the Reihen Evangelical Church and State Archives at Karlsruhe were searched for him by Pastor Henry Schuehman. Dr. Fritz Braun, genealogist, then prepared a report on the European ancestry of the Hertzel family who were founding members of the Christ Reformed (Indian Creek) Church, Franconia township, Montgomery county, Pa. Detailed information is published in the Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine, Vol XXIV, number 3, 1966, pages 151-184.
Hans Heinrich and Maria's son, Hans Heinrich was baptized in Pfaffikon. The family moved to Reihen before their youngest son, Clemens, was born in 1659. Hans Heinrich married Margaretha Rudi in 1676 and Clemens married Anna Sinter in 1680. Descendants of these two families emigrated to Pennsylvania.
In 1727, the Provincial Council of Pennsylvania issued the order that all ship's captains should furnish lists of the names of those imported and the immigrant be requred to sign a document declaring their allegiance and subjection to the King of Great Britian, fidelity to the Proprietary of the province and obedience to its laws and the laws of Pennsylvania.
Thus, on September 18, 1727, a list was presented from the ship William and Mary from Rotterdam, containing 300 Palatines. Among those were two sons of Clemens and Anna Hirtzel, their second son, Hans George b 1686 and his family and their youngest son, Hans Ulrich b. 1705.
His grandfather Clemons Hirzel, pastor of the Reihen Church between 1652 and 1670 was his godfather.

Immigrated in 1727 in the second group of Hartzells. Lived and died in Pennsylvania. Crossed the Atlantic in the "William and Sarah" from Rotterdam, landed Philadelphia 18 Sept 1727. Family traveled with him, also brother. 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 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 about 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 Hellerton 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, "by 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. Thre are no proceedings on record in either Bucks or Northampton County, the latter formed in 1752. Neither the date of his death or burial are known.
"Compendium..." describes him as being a descendant of the Clan von Herzeele, Barons of the Reich); from Upper Consistory of the Palatinate, Germany, 1727; took oath of allegiance Sept 11, 1732, settles at Hartzells (now Drylands), Pa. Buried at Drylands, Reformed Church; born, Mannheim, Grand-Duchy of Baden.--Find-a-grave
