My ancestor Peter Goehle was born in Herrnsheim in 1852. He immigrated to New York City in 1873. Peter was the son of Louise Harbauer (the daughter of Laurenz Harbaurer) and Franz Goehle (both born in Herrnseim). Laurenz Harbauer was the son of Wendelin Harbauer and Franziska Heyl (born 1753).

1642 Herrnsheim record for Heyl

"Hans Heyl zu Herrnsheim und seine Ehefrau Maria bekunden, dass sie dem Hans Jakob und seiner Ehefrau Elisabeth zu Herrnsheim fr 10 Gulden 2/3 Ackerland am Mittelweg zwischen Johann Krumbcher, Schulthei, und Peter Decker verkauft haben - Zeugen: Georg Hanheimer, des Gerichts, und Niklaus Becker, der Gemeinde 1642-09-08"

(This record was sent to me by Peter Schulz, October 7, 2008)

Loose translation: Hans Heyl of Herrnsheim and his wife, Maria [sold to*] Hans Jacob and his wife, Elizabeth of Herrnsheim for 10 "gulden" [an amount of money] for 2/3 of arable land at Mittelweg [midway] between Joann Krumbcher, Schulthei and Peter Decker. Witnesses: George Hanheimer, of the court, and Niklaus Becker of the municipality

1642-09-08

As Peter points out this records indicates that the Heyls were "an old family in this area".

*I had originally translate this as "brought from". In November 2016 Gerhard Redecker wrote that it should read "sold to".

____ Heyl★ and Anna Marie _____ ★

Birth:

Occupation: ???

Marriage: Anna Maria ________

Note: This is based on the death of the widow Anna Maria Hail in 1726 age 70 and the limited number of records for the name in the parish.

Birth of Anna Marie ____: circa 1656, based on age at death

Children:

1. Franz Anton Heyl★ (c 1683-1743) and Gertrude Vogt★

   Birth: Circa 1683 based on age at death

   Occupation: From the church records - Scabini - which the German Research Companion by Shirley J Riemer translates as "juror".

   According to the Worms Archive Report of 2007 Franz Heyl's occupation was verwalter which the German Research Companion by Shirley J Riemer translates as "administrator". While the church records continue to list the occupation of Franz Heyl's son, Philippi, as scabini the Worms Archive Report lists his occupation as Schöffe which they translated as "Juror".

         Note: I am having trouble making out exactly what is written and I thought there was the possibility that Bildsheim/Pitcheim/Boxheim were all the same. In February 2012 Astrid Holzmann (who has graciously helped me in the past) wrote:

         Indeed they are not, if you look into the Ortsfamilienbuch of Bürstadt you can find a notice that Damian Bildstein and Johann Boxheimer were both fee farmers on the Boxheimer Hof (which is close to Bürstadt):

         Johann Boxheimer war mit Damian Bildstein (aus 0299) Erbbestä nder auf dem Boxheimer Hof; es ist die Verleihung oder Verpachtung eines Gutes an einen oder mehrere Pächter und seine Erben, dass es wie Eigentum vererbt wird.

         (file 0381, Ortsfamilienbuch Bürstadt, 1994)

         Seems that people from Boxheimer Hof had a close relation to Herrnsheim as there were marrying each other from time to time (Hagenauer, Heil, Zipp, Boxheimer, Bildstein...).

Notes:

• Unfortunately, many cemeteries in Germany removed the old graves and grave markers (if they existed) to make room for new burials. Consequently there are not many old grave markers in modern cemeteries. The cemeteries that we have visited are lovingly maintained with beautiful flowers. Herrnsheim's cemetery was no exception. We did not find any Göhle graves. There were a few new graves for Harbauers and the Arnold and Bardong names were very common. The only older tombstones were for former burgermeisters. There were also a few older markers for fallen soldiers - including one for Bardong and one for Harbauer.
• There were several listings for Harbauer in the Worms phone book for 2007.
• The church records were recorded in Latin and the civil records were recorded in German. The church records were recorded in the Catholic Parish Church of St Peter in Herrnsheim. The records for Herrnsheim were (more or less) written in Latin. The spelling of the names varied depending, I think, on the whim or the person recording the event. "in" was added to most female surnames, but not all. Endings for male names varied with "us", "i", "o" being most common. However, in the case of Jo(h)ann it sometimes ended with "e". Most female names ended with "a".

Cornelius von Heyl (1843-1923)

Birth: Circa 1843, Hermann Wilhelm Heyl, Worms, son of Daniel Cornelius Heyl (1818-1844) and grandson of Cornelius Heyl (1792-1858). He was the second of three children and when his older brother, Cornelius (1842-1861) died Hermann Wilhem took the name Cornelius. At age 19 he took over his grandfather's leather factory. The company were large scale manufacturers of patent-leather and the largest employer in Worms.

Johann Cornelius 29.2.1772 ✟ 2.10.1858 Worms was the son of Johann Cornelius Heyl 1758-1818 Schiffsmanns Kaufmann in Worms and Anna Elizabeth Leutz (1768-1805). He married Wilhelmina Luise Martenstein 1799- 1875

Johann Cornelius Heyl 1758-1818 was the son of Johann Cornelius Heyl 1721-1779, Schiffman in Worms and Anna Barbara Korner 1726-1801

Johann Cornelius Heyl 1721-1779 was the son of Johann Jakob Heyl 1684-1750 and Johanna Marie Printz.

The family was perviously from Bacharach.

The family genealogy is at Hessian Biography

"Unquestionably the leading figure of Hessian National Liberalism in the aftermath of 1884 was Cornelius Heyl. Forty-one in the year of Heidelberg, energetic and dedicated in the traditions of reform Protestantism — Laboremus was the family motto he chose — Heyl now commanded a personal influence unmatched in the Grand Duchy by anyone outside of the ducal family and the state administration. In a portrait done a year earlier by the famed painter Franz Lenbach, the man whom his enemies grudgingly called the Grand duke of Worms stares ahead with assurance, his even features firmly set in the manner of an individual who know he is listened to. Heyl was now a notable among notables. In 1884 he purchased the estate of the dukes of Dalberg at Herrnsheim, near Worms, and took up residence in its empire-style palace. In the same year he commissioned a more spacious and elegant home, the Heylshof to be built in the city itself. Thus Heyl already had adopted the style of an aristocrat when, two year later in March 1886, he was elevated to the hereditary nobility by his friend Ludwig IV and given the title Baron von Heyl zu Herrnsheim.
