From Find A Grave website bio: - Note that George's surname is spelled Sprenckel on his tombstone. I have used Sprenkle on the memorial to make a search for him easier.
George was the son of the immigrant Michael Sprenkel (Sprenckel, Sprengel). We believe George was born in what was then Hellam Twp., Lancaster Co., and is now West Manchester Twp., York Co.
Earlier transcriptions of the tombstone show that he died at 63 years, 6 months (days not legible).
George is a Sons of the Revolution patriot ancestor. According to their records, during the Revolutionary War, George served as a Private in the 1st and 5th Companies, 3rd Battalion, York Co., PA Militia. He is also a Daughters of the American Revolution patriot ancestor. Their records show that he served under Capts. Emanuel Herman and Rhinehart Bott in the 5th Co., York Co., PA Militia. (Note that the DAR standardizes the the way surnames are spelled in their database. You will find him as George Sprinkle.)

Died 27 JUN 1805. Manchester, York Co., PA. [9][10]

Military Service: A member of Militia and was fined in 1778 for non performance of Militia Duty. Served under Col. William Rankin who records seem to indicate had offered to switch to the British. 1776[11]

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with George by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with George:

Sprenckle-5 and Sprenckel-20 appear to represent the same person because: These two have the same date of birth and death.

Thanks for your help on getting all these profiles sorted out. Love being part of this family -mine morphed into Sprankle (Frederick and Maria).

Sprenkle-202 and Sprenckel-20 appear to represent the same person because: Death date and place match. Birth year matches; birth places are neighboring counties, so plausible uncertainty. Both are married to Anna Barbara Miller.

Not sure what LNAB would be; Sprenckel seems more likely than Sprenkle for that time, but may need more research before merge.

Sprinkle-7 and Sprenckel-20 appear to represent the same person because: I removed postponed merge and changed estimate of birth on Sprenckel-20 to match Sprinkle-7. Date is still estimated as I did not see a definitive source.
