Friedrich (Fritz) Grusendorf of Gifhorn, Hanover, Germany, and Christina Hartung arrived in Texas in 1846. Their marriage license is on record in New Braunfels, Texas. To this union were born five daughters and one son, H.A. Grusendorf.
H.A. was married to Bertha Ebers in 1878 in Grassyvile, Lee County, Texas. In 1891, the family moved to Lexington and began farming.

Retzlaff. The Grusendorf family has a long record of active membership in the Methodist Church, Henry and Bertha being among the first members of the German Methodist Church in Lexington.
The children born to this union were: seven daughters: Emma, Alice, Mary, Louise, Clara, Bettie, and Linda; and three sons, Will, Henry, and Arthur. Mrs. Clara Lee Brewer, daughter of Alice Grusendorf Hillegeist, and her children, Jan and Bobby, are the only descendents, nonw (1974) living in Lee County.
