Notes:

The bygdebok entry for this Nils’s father, (Vang B, p. 514-515) specifically says that this Nils, born in 1796, died as a small child.

This Nils has his own bygdebok entry as Vang B, p. 200. That entry only says that he came from 87/ Vesle-Jøvne.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 30 Jun 1822, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

Vang B, p. 501 calls her Marith Øysteinsdatter Berge (Bunde?). She was Endre Knutsson’s second wife. The shoemaker Knut Knutson Beito was her second husband. According to the bygdebok, she and Knut and her daughter (with Endre) Åste were on Øydegardé 87 in the 1865 census.

In that 1865 census, she is Marith Østendatter, age 44, wife of Knuth Knuthsson, shoemaker, age 29, born in Slidre. Aaste, age 15, is living with her and Knuth. The live on Ødegaarden 105a, a farm for which the gbr is Thosten Larsson.

Given the birth date of 1822, she then seems to be the Marith born to Østen G*sen Berge and Anne somebody, maybe Eriksdatter. The father’s patronymic may be Gerund, Gunder, Germund, Gudmund, etc. (The original church book record is close to illegible.) Among her baptismal sponsors are a Qvien, and a Berge.

The best match, therefore, for what we think we know about Marith’s parents is Øystein Gunnarsson Øydegarden (1777-1847) and his wife Anne Eiriksdatter N. Kjøs (1784-1824). This couple is in Vang C, p. 252. However, that bygdebok does not mention a daughter Marith born in 1822. Nevertheless, that will be what’s assumed here, principally because one of Anne Endresdatter’s baptismal sponsors was Anne Østensdatter Lokreim which we know to be a daughter of Øystein G. and Anne E.

I 1855 var han med på å bygge opp "Valdressettlementet i Goodhue CO, Minnesota. Han har etterkommere i Tioga i USA VALDRESBYGDEN I GOODHUE COUNTY, MINNESOTA Det var vel helst om pioner-menn og kvinner vi skulde skrive og ikke om settlementer, men i de fleste tilfelle er de naturligvis knyttet så tett sammen at de er nærsagt uadskillelige. Vi vet også at mange av de mend som særlig har fortjent omtal e her, får en litt mer utførlig saga i avsnittet om fremskutte vardreser. Ovennevnte vardresbygd ligger ca. 25 mil vestenfor Mississippifloden i det sydestlige Minnesota. Den grunnlagdes i 1855, da nogen landsøkere fra Vang i Valdres ankom og bosatte sig. Blandt disse var John Helgeson Hamre. Nils Gunderson Lien, Eve n Syverson Brækken. Endre Thomassen Remmen, John Helgeson Glare, brødrene Haakon, Ola og Knnt Holiæn, Thomas Tasa, Endre K. Haugen og Nils N. Heen. L1tt senere samme år kom også Gudmund Norsving og et følge av et dusin familier med ham. Norsvin g blev en fremragende mann, valgtes til mange ansvarsfulle hverv, var medlem av statens lovgivende forsamling, en av valdrelagets første støtter, en bramfri genial, endefram hedersmann av det gode gamle slag. At endog sameget som nevne alle dem so m kom senere, går ikke an, men blandt mer kjente familier bør dog nevnes familierne Høverstad, Bøe, Eltun, Elingbøe, Søine, Lockrem og Østrem med flere.

From contributor DaveVangsness on Find A Grave:


BOOK - HISTORY OF GOODHUE COUNTY, MN. PUBLISHED IN 1909 Carl N. Lien, Red Wing, who has a long and honorable record of public office holding in this and Ramsey counties, is the son of Nils G. and Martha (Holm) Lien, natives of Norway. The mother came to America in 1852 and located in Winneshiek county, Iowa. The father came a year later and settled in Manitowoc, Wis. They were married at Decorah, Iowa, in 1856, and in the spring of the following year came to Warsaw, this county, where the father carried on general farming until his death, in 1901. His widow followed him to the grave two years later. Carl N. attended the public schools and took a course in the Lutheran College at Decorah, Iowa. After a course at Northfield, Minn., at St. Olaf's College, he completed his schooling with a business training in the Curtiss Business College at St. Paul. Thus, well equipped with a classical and business education, he started out in life for himself. Between 1879 and 1889 he was justice of the peace, assessor and township chairman, and town clerk in Warsaw, and in 1883-85 was enrolling clerk in the house of representatives. From October, 1885, to June, 1886, he was transcribing clerk in the office of the United States surveyor-general, at St. Paul. He was then elected county auditor of Goodhue county, and from January, 1890, to January 4, 1909, served honorably and continuously in that position. Mr. Lien was married April 24, 1878, to Mary E. Johnson, who was educated in Carleton College and St. Olaf's College, at Northfield, Minn. She also taught school six years, four years in Iowa and two years in Goodhue county. This union has been blessed with eight children. Amanda, born July 29, 1879, married Elias Rachie, and lives at Willmar, Minn. Clara M., born October 30, 1880, married Ole J. Olson, a contractor and builder, of Sioux Falls, S. D. Anna married Edward Lidberg, of Red Wing. She was born September 11, 1882. Nels, N., born August 1, 1884, is deputy auditor of the county. Mabel C., born October 23, 1886, and Julia, born September 9, 1889, are graduates of the Red Wing high school. Conrad, born October 4, 1892, died December 31, 1893, and Carl, born December 31, 1894, died April 14, 1896. The family faith is that of St. Peter's Evangelical church, and Mr. Lien votes the Republican ticket. During the years 1908-09 Mr. Lien has been teaching penmanship in the Red Wing Seminary.

[Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 5 Mar 1845, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

Birth record shows her parents unmarried and specifies Kjøs as the farm for both of them. Her baptismal sponsors were Knud Kjøs, Anders Gunderson Gjevre, Guri Køngslien, Sigri Andersdatter Kjøs, and Marit Østensdatter Berge. Could not find Iver/Ivar in 93-94/.

In the 1865 census, she is probably the 21 year-old Berith Iversdatter working as a tjenestepige on Endre Olsen’s Lien søndre farm.

Her connection to Johannes Knudsen Haugen has conflicting information and the bygdeboks aren’t helpful. Among the conflicts, for example, the Bredeson Family Tree calls her Berith J Knutson, daughter of Aaste and someone named Knudt Evenson. The Bredeson Family Tree does have (most of) Berith’s birth date right. Melvin Haugen’s tree shows her as Berit Iversdatter Gjevre and born in Vang 8 Feb 1845.

In the 1910 census, she is Berith Knutson, 65, now a widow and is head-of-household for the farm in Split Rock Twp, Minnehaha County. Living with her is her daughter, Martha Johnson, 25, and sons Andrew, 24, Otto, 22, and Iver, 29, all with the surname Johnson and all shown as single. Also living with the family is Mary J Tvedt, 39, a boarder. Berith still claims 8 children, 7 still living. So for some reason, the children living with her have adopted the surname Johnson.

In the 1920 census, Berith is a 75 year-old widow living on the Split Rock Twp farm headed up by her son Andrew Johnson, age 35. Also in the household is Martha E Johnson, 37, Iver W Johnson, 39, and Aaster K. Evenson, 96, grandmother. Berith is shown to have come to the U.S. in 1872. Aaste is shown as coming to the U.S. in 1867.
