Miscellaneous: He migrated from Frankfort, Germany.

He served as a private in the War of 1812.

From The Pioneer - 1976. "Henri Kaltreiter [Henry's father] served in the Navy during the Revolution and was mustered out as a Rear-Admiral. He settled in the heart of a German community in Baltimore County, Maryland. He was the father of two sons, Henri and Freiderich.

Henri, or Henry [the son and #57], moved to the Shenadoah Valley where he met his future wife, Eleanor Love."He then emigrated to the Buckhannon area, building his house on the banks of the river about a mile south of the present city limits."He applied for a marriage license at Weston, Lewis County, but since he spoke English with a German accent, the clerk could not understand the spelling of his name. Gather Kemp was asked to interpret and spelled the name "Henry Colerider".

"Henry and Eleanor Love Colerider were the parents of three Children, Mary, Edward (29), and William."

In the 1840 United States Federal Census of Lewis County, Virginia, Henry was listed as the head of his family. Living with him were two males 20 and under 30. He was listed as 50 and under 60. There was one female under 5, one 20 but under 30, and one 40 and under 50. The later was probably his wife Eleanor.

In the 1860 Census of Buckhannon, Upshur, Virginia, enumerated on the 30th day of June, there were 2 people living in Henry Colerider's home: Henry Colerider: 79, (old and infirmed) and Eleanor: 71 (wife). The census states that Henry was born in Maryland, Eleanor in Virginia. The value of his real estate was $200 and his personal estate: $500. [Susan Snyder's note : Above their names on the census is one of his sons, Edward Jackson Colerider and his family. According to information researched by Russell Leach (#3), Henry died in 1863 at the age of 87, but according to the 1860 census, in 1863, he would have been only 81).

[Note from Susan Snyder: There are many questions about some of the information in this biography. Information collected in black above was by Russell Leach between 1950 and 1970. Unfortunately, I do not know the source of this information. The 1860 census seems to dispute some of Russell's information. Henry could not have been 87 if/when he died in 1863 if he was only 79 when the 1860 census was made. Russell says he migrated from Frankfort, Germany and the 1860 census says he was born in Maryland. The 1880 census seems to confirm that Henry was born in Frankfort, Germany because it lists Edward's father's birthplace as Frankfort.]
