Hello Conrad,
welcome to the list and I hope someone can help you - I can`t.
But I can tell you that HALSENBACH is a place in Rheinland-Pfalz
I don`t find any Person with that name in the German online phonebook.
But I find in GEDBAS - a German database like ancestry - the following:

15 Halsenbach born between 1636 an 1687 in Lennep - a part of Remscheid in
Nordrhein-Westfalen
