Raziel Yohai Seckbach can you check the reference for the father of Chanoch Darschan, AB"D in Poland

While looking for something unrelated to this in Ele Toldot, I stumbled upon a Memorbuch entry (attached) which shows the identity of the father of this lady:

Hendel

Because the description of the locality where he was AB”D is smudged, one can’t be sure of anything but that it begins with a peh and is longer than five letters. However, the memorial continues with “author of” .... and I had the huge good luck of finding the work. It is Chinuk Beit Jehuda, and the author (Hendle’s father) is Rabbi Loeb (1660-1707) born in Oettingen and AB”D of Pfersee, son of Chanoch Darschan, AB"D in Poland, and it says Loeb was (presumably the maternal) grandson of Loeb Altschul, AB"D Ladomir "Leb r'Henichs". That Altschul reference is particularly intriguing.
