Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 20 Mar 1831, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

An Ancestry family tree has his parents as Erich Erichsen Jevnehagen and Mareth Jorgensdatter. That seems consistent with the mostly-illegible churchbook record. His baptismal sponsors included lots of Qviens and a (somebody) Tostensen or Tostensdatter Kjös.

Jim has him as Andris Eirikson Hagen, b. 9 Dec 1831 on Hagen 88/3-9-16 Av Jevne, Ryfoss i Vang i Valdres, parents Erik Eirikson Kjøs and Marit Jørnsdatter Lokreim.

The bygdebok has him as Andris, third son of Eirik Eiriksson (Nedre) Kjøs (1797-1889) and Marit Jørgensdatter Lokreim (1805-1874). The entry says “fekk dotter Marit (1856-) med Anne Torsteinsdotter Kjøseiga. Til Amerika (sjå innerstar).”

The out-migration record in the church book has the following leaving April 10, 1861, for Amerika: Anders Erichsen Jevne, age 30, his wife Marith Jørgensdtr, 35, and their two daughters Mareth, 4½, and Anne, 2. Listed next in the record is Tosten Tostensen Kjøsiet, age 37. (The scribe must have gotten confused when entering the name of Anders’s wife.)

In the 1880 census, he is Andrew Hagan, a farmer in Holden Twp, Goodhue County. Andrew E is 50, his wife Anna T is 55. They have three daughters living with them: Mary A, 24, born in Norway, Anna A, 21, born in Norway, and Gertie, 19, born in Minnesota.

In the 1900 census, he is A E Hagen, a farmer in Holden Twp, Goodhue County. He owns his farm, free of mortgage. He is listed as age 69, born Feb 1831. His wife is Annie T, age 74, born Aug 1826. She has had 7 children, 5 still living. The couple had been married for 45 years. They came to the U.S. in 1861.

In the 1910 census, he is Anders E Hagen, 79, living in Holden Twp, Goodhue County, with his wife Anne, 84. The couple had been married 60 years. Anne had had 7 children, 4 still living. They seem to be living in a separate house on the Ole Neseth farm.

Birth:
another source says, incorrectly, 8 Feb

Died:
As Anders E Hagen

Anders married Anne Torsteinsdatter KJØS on 10 Jun 1856 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. Anne (daughter of Torstein Torsteinsson KJØS and Anne Andrisdotter FØSSEI) was born on 13 Aug 1826 in Slidre i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died on 14 Jan 1914 in Goodhue County, Minnesota.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 27 Aug 1826, Slidre i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

Jim calls her Anne Torsteinsdatter Kjøs, daughter of Torstein Torsteinson Kjøs, b.1798, and Anne Andrisdatter Fosheim, b. 1796. Jim says, incorrectly, that Anne was born ca. 1830 on Kjøs 94/3, Brattebakke.

Jim’s site has her marrying Andris Eirikson Hagen in Vang and having a daughter Gertrude, b. 1862, d. 1927, both events in Goodhue County. Jim has that Gertrude as marrying Kristian Kolstad.

Confirmed in Vang on 20 Jun 1841 as Anne Tostensdtr Kjöseiet, daughter of Tosten Tostensen and Anne Andersdatter. She had been vaccinated on 28 June 1828. Her birthdate is unclear although it looks like her baptism date was 27 Aug 1826.

Kaye says: Both Randi and the local church were opposed to the marriage of Anders Larson and Anne.

Birth:
two Ancestry sites incorrectly say 14 Aug 1826 in Vang

Notes:

Married:
as Anders Erickson Jevnehagen, 25, and Anne Tostensdatter Kjösiet, 28. Her father was Tosten Tostenson, his father was Erick Erickson.
