What is the documentation for the parents connected to this profile?

Asking because his Find-a-Grave page doesn't list his parents, but the trees I see on Ancestry have totally differenet parents for him:

Augustine Herman Koennecke/Kinkey/Kankey
BIRTH8 Mar 1674 Hohenhameln, Peine, Niedersachsen, Germany
DEATHMar 1732 Cecil, Maryland, United States

sources (7)records (6)photos (1)

Family Info

Father
Johannes Koennecke (1643–1718)

Mother
Margareta Hilckenroth (Koennecke) (1647–1716)

Spouse
Anna Margarita Herman (Kinkey-Kankey) (1674–1724) aka Marjorie
Married 1692

Children
Catherine (1696–1767)
John (1698–1748)
Margery (1704–1740)
Mary (1704–1770)

I don't know if what shows on Ancestry is correct, but they do indicate documents attached to the various trees, mostly the same ones posted on his Find-a-Grave site, but I can't read the documents except for the one that mentions Herman being a tavern owner. I've attached a copy of that under his media tab and will attach the other documents as well.

If anyone can read the documents to see if there is confirming information on his parents, please post your findings. Until then, I am dubious about the parents connected with no documentation here on Geni.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I just visited Herman's Wiki page:

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kinkey-4

and left a post there, which includes my comment:

"I'm having a problem with his having been a documented Dutchman who went through the naturalization process and yet this profile is showing he was born in Maryland from a father born in Germany and a mother born in Maryland. That doesn't seem to all add up, in my opinion."

which holds true here since Wiki and Geni have the same parents, the only two sites, by the way, I have found with that info. Most sites just don't list his parents, as in the case of his Find-a-Grave page.

But he would have had no need to become a naturalized citizen if he had been born in the US or if his mother was already a citzen of this country. Since we know for sure he was naturalized and is referred to as a Dutchman, this is why the connections on Wiki and Geni don't seem to fit.
