ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The excerpt from the book states George Hodil was born in Indiana Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, USA. Book published in 1876, states he was seventy three years old. Making his birth 1803.
History of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania page 170
"Indiana Township was one of the first divisions of the northern part of Pitt Township, after erection of the county. Since then its territory has been greatly disminished, a part having been taken in 1826 to form part of East Deer, and O'Hara Township and Harmer having been created from its parts in 1876.
Jacob Huddle (Hodel/Hodil) and Henry Strohm came from Germany, and settled in Indiana Township at a very early day. They were brothers-in-law and settled on adjoining tracts. They purchased land of Benjamin Herr. Strohm's deed bears the date August 21, 1805, but there is no doubt that he and Huddle were in the township long before, for George Hodil, a son of Jacob, is now seventy three years old and was born in Indiana Township, as was Peter Strohm who was several years his senior. There is no doubt that Strohm and Huddle were in the township in 1798, and that they were the first settlers within its present limits."
