A eldest son stated his birthplace was Baltimore, MD ca 1842. Henry, wife Margaret and family spent most of their life in Venango Co., PA. Henry and his wife were from Hesse-Kassel, Germany. One census said they were born about 1816 and 1819 and another said ca 1825. A death certificate for one of their sons (George Crodle) indicated his mother's name was HOMER ( at least that is what it looks like). One daughter married a JOY and one a BOYD.
