Citing this biography: Boyd, Michelle, "Heinrich Jäckel and Anna Maria Donau," article, Olive and Eliza, last accessed [current date]."

Heinrich Jäkel was born about 1779, probably in Graf, Samara, Russia to Friedrich Jäkel and Anna Maria Laber.

Heinrich married Anna Maria Donau 31 Jan 1805 in Rohleder parish, Samara, Russia. Anna Maria was most likely the Anna Maria Donad born about 1784, probably in Graf, Samara, Russia to Johann Franziskus Donad and Christina —.

Heinrich died in 1821.

Heinrich and Anna Maria’s children are:

1	Maria Elisabetha Jaekel, baptized 24 May 1809 in Graf, Samara, Russia. She could possibly be the Elisabetha Jaeckel who married Gregorius Johannes Knoll. However, another possibility is that Elisabetha (Jaeckel) Knoll was Maria Elisabetha's half-first cousin, Catharina Elisabetha Jaekel.
2	Anna Catharina Jaekel, born 5 Oct 1812 in Graf, Samara, Russia, baptized 6 Oct 1812.
