Henry was the son of William Fritz and Elizabeth Palm. He was born in Brothersvalley Twp., Somerset Co., Pennsylvania and baptized in Pine Hill Lutheran Church, Berlin, PA.
Henry was a tailor and farmer (from census reports). He was married to Elizabeth Reiman on 14 Nov 1826 in Berlin Evangelical Reformed Church, Berlin, Brothersvalley Twp., Somerset Co., Pennsylvania. They had 16 children.
Henry took his family (younger children, grandchildren and nephew) to the newly opened territory of Illinois in the late 1860s. They settled in Dixon, Lee County, IL where Henry lost several of his children to trials of frontier living and the Civil War. Due to the stress, his grandson was given charge of Henry's affairs before he died in 1868.
He is buried in Pine Grove Cemetery, where his headstone is broken and barely visible, but near other family members. Henry's remaining family moved on to Iowa, and some, from there to Colorado in 1900.
