He emigratned to America on the ship "Francis and Elizabeth" which landed at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on September 21, 1742. He died sometime around the years 1780-1781 in Frederick Co., Virginia. His wife, Catherine Kohler was born in the same time period the 1725-1730 in Germantown, Pennsylvania? She was living in 1783 in Shenandoah Co., Virginia and died in 1810, probably in Hawkins Co. Tennessee?
General Notes: "Johann Henrich Bengel,
Evanelisch “Protestant” on 27 June 1747 married Catharine Koehler in the Reformed Lutheran German Church in Germantown, near Philadelphia in the Minister's residence in the presence of two witnesses" Reference: St. Michael's and Zion Lutheran Church records, Pennsylvania Germany Society records, Vol. I, page 585. Johann Henrich Bengel anglicized his name to read “John Henry Pangle”
It is supposed that Johann Henrich Bengel lived in the Germantown, Pennsylvania for awhile and soon after relocated himself and family to the Shenandoah Valley area of Virginia where he remained until his death about the year 1780-1782. His widow, Catherine Pangle, records show she was listed in the 1783 census for Shenandoah Co., Virginia with four dependents. The 1783 census was the last public entry that was found for Catherine Pangle.

The Pangle Cemetery is located what is in Fredrick Co., Virginia and therein many of the early Pangle family members are buried. The cemetery is aproximately 70-75 feet wide and 80-90 feet long. It is in a field on a farm once owned by Snydor McDonald in 1975 and has been abandoned for many years. There are approximaetley thirty (30) graves that are known. The last known burial in the cemetery was in 1902. The Pangle Cemetery is located four miles northwest of Middletown, Virginia. If there are any markers on the graves that fact is unknown? It is possible that Henry Pangle 1755-1822 in buried in the Pangle Cemetery since the cemetery is located on the land that Henry Pangle once owned.
