Henry J "Harry" Rohlfing was the son of Henry C "Harry" and Cecelia Marie (King) Rohlfing. He had one sibling, Cecelia (Rohlfing) Mauger, born 1872 in Philadelphia PA. He married the widowed Martha (Moorhead) Robinson in 1918. Martha died 3 Dec 1926. Henry J married Mamie Eliza Parsons in 1927. He had no children with Martha or Mamie. His primary occupation was cabinemaker and carpenter. He is buried next to Martha in Mount Peace Cemetery.

Notes about Henry J's sister and parents:
Although the 1907 PA death certificate for Cecelia Mauger lists Cecelia Marie King as her mother—and the same given name suggests she was her biological mother—it's possible that Cecelia Marie King was her stepmother. This is based on the 1880 US Census of her father. He is listed as Harry Ralphing, widower, age 30, born in Maryland, occupation conductor, who boarded with the Hornberger family at 4065 Haverford Ave, Philadephia PA. This suggests that Harry C married Cecelia Marie King after the 1880 census sometime before Henry J's birth on 13 Apr 1881.

Harry C Rohlfing died 22 Aug 1884 when Henry J was 3 years old. His 1880 address at 4065 Haverford Ave is a few blocks away from 4152 Lancaster Ave, his address in the 1883 Philadelphia city directory and the address of his widowed wife Cecelia in the 1885 and 1886 directories. Harry C was the only son of seven children. His father, William Henry Rohlfing, was still living in Baltimore with his 2nd wife when Harry C died. A notice of death for Harry C was published by the Baltimore Sun on 2 Sep 1884.
