John Kunkel, Sr., is one of four siblings who emigrated at different times to Texas from the small village of Wenglewo, Posen, Prussia. The births are recorded in the records of the Evangelische Kirche Pudewitz (Kr. Posen Ost) Kirchenbuch, 1787-1874.

The oldest of the four, John appears on the 1860 Bastrop Co., TX census with daughter Wilhelmina Ottilie Kunkel, born 1854, in Prussia and daughter Augusta, born 1857, in Bastrop Co., Texas, so his arrival apparently occurred between 1854-1857.

His brother Gottlieb (Memorial #69724225), wife Augusta Krueger Kunkel, and sister Anna Carolina Kunkel Beyer (Memorial #69722780), arrived in Galveston, on 16 Dec 1860 aboard the bark Gaston.

His brother, Christian (Memorial #68969652) and wife Julianna Fechner Kunkel, according to Christian's 29 Dec 1916 obituary appearing in the New Braunfels Herald, arrived in 1856 in New Braunfels, Texas.
