  Notes	Jon's family of 6 emigrated to Stoughton, WI, in the spring of 1850, then later moved to Northfield, Minnesota. Information found in the emigration list of 1850 (State Archives, Hamar, Norway): 9 March 1850... John Østeinsen Ellingbøe, 36, Margretta Øysteinsd., 31, Ambjor, 11, Ingeborg, 7, Ingerid, 4, and John, 1/2 . According to Jim, Jon was from N. Bø; his mother was from Ellingbø (Bøkko). On 1 March 1830, when Jon was 15, his grandfather Andris (presumably, Jim means Jon’s grandfather Jon Andrisson) sold him Bøkko for 600 spd. with the provision that Andris could farm it as long as he was able. Andris died 16 days later. Jon's father farmed it for him for about 10 years until Jon took over and his father become a pensioner on the farm. Jon also gave a pension to Ivar Helgesson and his wife. See pp. 580-581 Ref. 1 for information to 1850. Some post-emigration information provided by John W. Ellingboe, Lloyd W. Ellingboe, William L. Ellingboe. Other information from census records, obituaries, etc. See photographs of cabinet painted with names of Jon and his wife. The cabinet was exhibited in the lobby of the Grindaheim Hotel by Marit and Helge Ellingboe. When the hotel was sold, the cabinet was moved to the nearby new house of Leif Solemsli, Jr. In the 1870 census he and his family live in Stoughton, Dunkirk Twp, Dane County. The family consists of John Ostenson, 55, Margaret, 52, John, 20, Austin, 18, Andrew, 12, Thomas, 9, and Mathius, 8. Living in Dunkirk, Dane County at the time of the 1880 census as John Austinson, 65. Living with his wife Margaret, 61, and sons Andrew, 22, and Matthew, 18. In the 1900 census, he is an 85 year-old widower living as a boarder with the Andrew Morgan family in Pleasant Springs, Dane County, Wisconsin. He is still a farm laborer and is shown as having come to the U.S. in 1850. An article in the Wisconsin State Journal, 6 Sep 1902, says that he came to the U.S. “over 50 years ago, settled two-and-a-half miles east of Stoughton, lived there 19 years, then went to Minnesota. He returned to Dane County 8 years ago last December and since that time has been living with a granddaughter, Mrs. Knud Soine, near McFarland.” … “He was the father of Mrs. J. O. Cold and Matt Ellingbo, of Stoughton. There are three other sons: John Ellingbo of Northfield, Minnesota, Andrew O. and Austin Ellingbo, of Milton, North Dakota, and four dead children (one son and three daughters), two of whom are buried here.” The article goes on to say: “Mr. Ellingbo landed here following the period of hostilities between Black Hawk and the whites and years before the red men had wholly vanished. He was one of those brave farmers who transformed the woods and the prairies into beautiful homesteads, before the days of the telegraph and railroad.”
