David Theobald Jaquillard was born in Struth, France. He came to America in the 1840s. He settled in Newark, New Jersey and was engaged in the barrel-making business. In 1855 he partnered with brewer George Lorenz to form a brewing company at 33 Hamburg Place.
When Jaquillard died on the 17th of August, 1858, Mr. Joseph Hensler purchased his partnership. Hensler eventually became sole proprietor of the brewery. The firm would go on to survive prohibition and continue to operate as the Joseph Hensler Brewing Co. until 1958.
