Does it make sense that Abraham was born in Heidelberg, Germany, when his parents and all of his siblings were born in America? Perhaps this son was attached in error. No sources are shown for this profile. It would be helpful to see some.

It gets even more interesting i f you look at the father's Timeline John Wilhelm Penrod, I

John is born in MD, at age 9 something happens in NY, then he has a daughter in NY then Abraham is born in Germany then John gets married back in MD and two years later has a son there. He then has 3 children in Albany, one in PA then 4 more children in Albany before dying in Albany then but being buried in PA.

I suspect there are multiple issues with at least two men merged into John's profile, a NY and a MD family, maybe a third from PA.
Abraham's birth in Germany may be a function of auto-correct, perhaps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heidelberg,_Pennsylvania? Or a simple mistake, or even transposing of his death location into the birth location field.

Good luck
