4)  NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):  

Most of the information about this Spengler family is from the book:

Edward W. Spangler, The Annals of the Families of Caspar, Henry, Baltzer and George Spengler, published in York, Pennsylvania in 1896[1].  Hans Rudolf Spengler was the father of the Spangler immigrants to Pennsylvania in the 1730 time frame.

The author of the book corresponded with Rev. Fuchs of Hilsbach and with Martin Spengler of Weiler in 1895.  The book has transcriptions of letters that describe the research done by genealogists and pastors in the areas around Sinsheim in Germany. 

In present day Baden-Wurttemburg, Sinsheim is about 10 miles southeast of Heidelberg, and Weiler is about two miles directly south of Sinsheim.  Hilsbach is less than a mile southwest of Weiler. 

Information about names and birth dates of the children of Hans Rudolf Spengler are probably from the Hilsbach pastor's record book.  

The book also contains information on the Spengler families that were ancestors of Hans Rudolf Spengler in Germany[1].  There is limited information about the first thirteen generations.  From page 5 on:

"XIII. Jacob Spengler, became a citizen of Schoftland, Canton Berne (nor Aargua), Switzerland.  His son:

"XIV. Hans Rudolf Spengler emigrated to "Weyler under Steinsberg", near Sinsheim, on the Elsenz, Rhenish Palatinate, now [in 1896] in the Grand Duchy of Baden.

"He married July 16, 1678, Judith, daughter of Jacob Haegis, deceased, of Beisassen, at Sinsheim.  His second marriage in 1690 was with Marie Saeger of Duehren, near Sinsheim."

The children of Hans Rudolf Spengler with Judith Haegis were[1]:

1.  Johannes Spengler, born September 14, 1679.

2.  Anna Margaret Spengler, born March 5, 1682.

3.  Hans Kaspar Spengler, born January 20, 1684.  Married Judith, adopted daughter of Martin Ziegler, February 9, 1712.  Emigrated to America in 1727, and settled in York County, Pennsylvania, 1729.

4.  Anna Spengler,  born March 3, 1686.

Judith (Haegis) Spengler probably died before 1690, and Hans Rudolf Spengler married Marie Saeger on 2 November 1690.

The children of Hans Rudolf Spengler with Marie Saeger were[1]:

5.  Anna Maria Spengler, born May 18, 1693;, wife of Joh. Bernhard Brenneisen of Reihen, near Sinsheim.

6.  Rudolph Spengler, born September 24, 1696.

7.  Jacob Spengler, born September 22, 1698.

8)  Hans George Spengler, born February 2, 1701, married Katherine Laub; emigrated to America in 1732, and died, without issue, in Philadelphia, in 1744.

9.  Joh. Henry Spengler, born July 1, 1703.

10.  Jorg Heinrich Spengler, born June 8, 1704, married Susanne Muller, January 17, 1730; emigrated to America, 1732, and settled in York County, Pennsylvania, 1732. 

11.  Joh. Balthazar Spengler, born November 29, 1706.  Married April 29, 1732, Magdalena Ritter; emigrated to America in 1732, and settled in York County, Pennsylvania in 1732.

12.  Anna Elizabeth Spengler, wife of Martie Moser, of Rohrbach, born March 19, 1710.

13.  Peter Spengler, born May 19, 1712,; emigrated to America in 1740, arrived in Philadelphia, and was never heard from.

"All of the children, except Nos. 3, 8, 10, 11 and 13, above named, remained in Germany, and three left to survive them children with numerous descendants, many of whom now reside at the ancestral home, Weiler, and at the adjoining town of Hilsbach."[1]

Some online family trees provide a baptism date of Hans Rudolf Spengler as 14 September 1651 in Schoftland, Switzerland.  That may be, but there apparently are no available records.  

The death date of Hans Rudolf Spengler is given as 1712 in many online family trees, but there apparently are no records.  The Find A Grave memorial for him says 1712, but no date or place of burial is provided[2]
