CONRAD KRAUL
THE STORY AS I KNOW IT
Most of the following information came from The Simon
Crowell Family by Judith Jo Linenfelser. Also from a
webiste re Thompson/Turnbow which is no longer
available.
Conrad Kraul was born about
1685 probably in Hessen Germany. His parents are
unknown.
Conrad Kraul or Graul married Magdelene Dietrick about
1710. By 1714 they were living in Langenselbold
Hessen and perhaps always had lived there.
It is a large town just east of Frankfort.
Magadelena and Conrad Kraul had one known
child: Peter Kraul
christened march 5, 1714 in Langenselbold.
Peter married Catharine or Karena probably
in Germany and immigrated in 1740 into Pennsylvania.
"Croul Connections" found in rootsweb note that the
ship Loyal Judith arrived in Philadelphia on Nov. 25, 1740.
Peter Grauel, age 26 was aboard. He may be our Peter.
Eventually the American family changed the spelling of
their name to Crowell.
It is not known when Magdelene or Conrad
died. I don't believe they emigrated.
