Johann was sometimes called Hans and sometimes Martin. He was a butcher in Kreuznach, Germany, where he was born in 1665. He married his first wife, Catherine Koebig, on the 16th October 1682. She apparently died before 1705. His second wife, Susanna Leichtweiss, married him in 1705.
The Hisel/Hysell Association hired a genealogist in Kreuznach, in the 1990s, to find records for us Barnhisel descendants here in the United States. Some of the records that researcher, Andrea Fink, found there are not entirely clear. For instance, Martin is mentioned in 1687 in a castle soldiers list; in 1689 he is listed in bed and rent books; in 1689 and 1711 he was "inaugurated for taxing meat"; in Jan 1710 he is unable to pay his debts. In Mar 1710 he is allowed to buy cereals at hospital because of his poverty. Some goods of his father-in-law were tranferred to him in 1688. His mother gave him some property in 1688 at Kreuznach. In summary, it seems that his business as a butcher was in trouble until his older relatives stepped in to help him out.
Martin had thirteen children to support and they were all born in Kreuznach, Germany as follows:

Martin and Susanna both died before 1726 in Kreuznach.
