Hempel Name Origins

The HEMPEL name is from middle Europe. This includes Germany, Poland and surrounding countries. The earliest Hempel line I have found was in Poland where a General Jan Marian Hempel served under Napoleon. The photo is of Jan Marian Hempel. This copy was given me by a young Hempel who believes he is descended from the General. He like many others has his brick wall.

4 We have recently encountered a group in London, England. More later on this group.

5 This group is in the area known as Silesia. Silesia Silesia is a region of Central Europe located mostly in Poland, with small parts in the Czech Republic and Germany. Its area is about 40,000 km², and its population about 8,000,000. Silesia is located along the Oder river. It consists of Lower Silesia and Upper Silesia. en.wikipedia.org This group went to Canada.

Early Settlements

They migrated to countries such as the USA, Canada and Australia, just to name a few. The Wendish group were in Germany and spread to the above countries with a Johann Hempel meeting the group when they arrived. I can find no proof pro or con that it was the same Johann Hempel. A Johann Hempel is listed with the group, but was not on the ships arrival listing. Many of the Hempel used Johann as the first name with the next or middle name indicating the person. The Johann was dropped in many cases although a middle name of John was not uncommon. In my Hempel research I have encountered many groups of Hempels coming across Europe going from East to West. A complete listing of the Hempel descendants is in the Polish Hempel History Book. (in Polish) Dates are not included, but current names, occupations and destinations are included. I received the list and some pictorial history of the Hempels in Poland. A gap in the history was from a political change in government. Usually those of the old government and their families and supporters fled for their lives. Before that no one can be sure at this time.

"Big Guns of Fayette" page 76 tells an interesting story of one CSA member, it lists; Hempel, E. `The muster roll of Captain L Alexander's company, Texas volunteers, Fayette County Texas, November 4, 1861. Lists Hempel as 3rd Corporal, age 26 years. born about 1838 in unknown location) : For some reason I wrote in the margin; died 30 April 1864 (also on this page is Hempel, L; no data on his parents or birth. )

On pages 45-46. `Nor were these the only deserters to add shame to the record of the company at this time. E Hempel (born about 1838 in unknown location) : who had enlisted in the service at LaGrange, Texas, May 10, 1862, then was assigned to company "A" 3rd Regiment Texas Infantry and later transferred into Creuzbaur's company, tired of the service early in 1864 and deserted. His wanderings took him to the horse camp in Montgomery County, and with the camp, he went to Austin county,. His petty depredations led him to Frelsburg. In the northern part of Colorado County, He killed a farmer and later was caught and hanged on April 30th
