    Jim’s notes:

    Da han var 74 år og enkemann i 1862, ble han med sønnen sin Gudbrand og alle barnebarna til USA. Om etterkommere se Fil USA

    Gudbrand og Anne hadde barna: GUDBRAND UVDAL (1823-), se nedenfor INGEBJØRG UVDAL (1827- ) gm Nils Håvardson Hermundstad-Hagen, de reiste til USA i 1853, sammen med to av søsknene til Ingebjørg: IVAR UVDAL (1830-) og ANNE UVDAL (1839- ), hun var bare 14 år da hun reiste med søsteren, svogeren og broren til USA. ANDRIS UVDAL (1833- ) til USA i 1854 MARIT UVDAL (1836-) til USA i 1857 ASGRIM UVDAL (1844- ) til USA med faren og broren Gudbrand i 1862.

    GUDBRAND G UVDAL (1823- ) overtok gården allerede i 1852, (skjøte 6.11.1852) for 490 spd og livaure til faren og moren. Han giftet seg i 1849 med ANNE TORSTEINSON KJERSTEIN (1823- ) De fikk følgnde barn: Gudbrand (1849-) Anne (1851- ) Torstein (1853- ) Ivar (1855- ) Kari (1858- ) Ingebjørg (1860- )

    Det begynte nok å bli trangt på gården allerede i 1853, og søsknene til Gudbrand reiste i tur og orden til USA. De må nok ha skrevet hjem og fortalt om fine forhold, for etter å ha gått å grunnet litt, bestemte Gudbrand seg for å selge Uvdal 2/1 (uppigarden) og dra over til Amerika han også. Moren hans var nettopp død, og den 74 år gamle faren bestemte seg for å være med på ferden, sammen med den yngste sønnen Asgrim.

    Frøholm skriver:"Med skjøte 5.3.1862 selde Gudbrand garden med lausøyre, utan livaure, til Gudbrand G Bø (1831-1905) for 700 spd og reiste til USA, saman med heile huslyden sin og faren og broren. Dermed vart den gamle Skogstad-Uvdals-ætta avløys t av ei ny ætt".

    Dette er ikke helt riktig, for Gudbrand G Bø som overtok, var også av samme ætta.

    From Find A Grave in a record for Kari created by DM Scott:

    Kari Nelson Lee, daughter of Howard and Kari Nelson Opdahl, was born at Vang, Valders, Norway, January 8, 1824. She was baptized and confirmed in her home parish of the Lutheran Church of Norway.

    She came to America in the early fifties and like a large number of the other early settlers, she stayed for some time in the settlements of southern Wisconsin.

    On June 27, 1857, she was married to Ole K. Lee, who preceded her in death on May 8, 1891.

    Their marriage was blessed with five children, two boys and three girls. Knud and Bertha Lee both died in 1885. The second son, Ole, died October 10, 1888, leaving two daughters, Carrie Lee and Julia Lee, to mourn the loss of their aged mother, who died of heart disease and pneumonia January 2, 1922.

    The funeral was conducted by Rev. Waldeland. Short services were held at the home and at the St. Ansgar and Deer Creek Lutheran Churches. She was laid to rest at the Evergreen Lutheran Cemetery at St. Ansgar on Thursday, January 5th. Had she lived until January 8th, she would have filled her ninety-eighth year of life.

    Present at the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. C.S. Orwoll of Minneapolis. Mrs. Orwoll is a niece of the deceased.

    In the 1900 census, she is the 76 year-old widow Kari Lee of Newburg Twp, Mitchell County, Iowa. Living with her are her daughters Carrie and Julia, her mother-in-law Guri, and two boarders: the brothers Thrond Ellingboe (#3213 ) and Iver Ellingboe (#3215 ). Kari came to the U.S. in 1850.
