Jens Erichsen AFLANGERUD

Family/Spouse: Margrete Jørgensdatter. Margrete was born about 1735 in Næs, Hedmark, Norway; died in 1790. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

His farm name is not clear in Anders’s birth record.

In the 1801 Norwegian census, the family was living on the Aflangerud farm in Næss parish, Hedmarken. The household consisted of Erich Jensen, 34, Gaardbruger (farmer), his first and only wife Anne Arnesdatter, 28, their children: Magrethe, 9, Jens, 8, Anders, 4, and Tore, 1, Erich’s father, the widower Jens Erichsen, 63, a servant, a foster daughter, and two husmann families.

ThruLines includes siblings of Anders Eriksen as Margrethe Eriksdatter (1792-1868), Kari Eriksdatter (1802-?), and Karen Eriksdatter (1819-1894).

Family/Spouse: Anne Arnesdatter PINKERUD. Anne (daughter of Arne Nielsen and Kari Ottersdatter) was born about 1773 in Næs, Hedmark, Norway; died in Aug 1811 in Næs, Hedmark, Norway. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Family/Spouse: Ole Knutson TROSTERUD. Ole was born in 1771 in Næs, Hedmark, Norway. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Occupation: Husmann (according to death entry in church book)

Notes:

A source says that he was born June 1796 in Nes as Anders Eriksen, son of Erik Nielsen (20 Jan 1754 to 12 Jun 1812 in Nes) and Lisbeth Andersen (1760 to 26 Jun 1834 in Nes).

Not listed in the Næs census of 1865.

The bygdebøk says: “Arvingene etter Anders Eriksen solgte eiendommen i 1856.” (The heirs of Anders Eriksen sold the property in 1856.)

The ThruLines connection to the Froslees has Anders Eriksen’s mother being Anne Arnesdatter (1772-1811) and Anne Arnesdatter’s father as being Anders Nielsen (1773-1806). The latter is the common ancestor with the Froslees if we believe this alternative theory of Anders Eriksen’s parentage.

Birth:
Date may be June 1st.

Died:
Anders Eriksen Flyttum, age 46.

Anders married Johanne Johnsdatter on 4 Jan 1822 in Næs, Hedmark, Norway. Johanne (daughter of Jon Jensen and Kari Stephensdatter) was born on 1 Mar 1795 in Odevold, Næs, Hedmark, Norway; was christened in Jun 1796 in Næs, Hedmark, Norway; died before 1865. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 20 Mar 1808, Næs, Hedmark, Norway

Notes:

This family for Syver is speculative. Rakkestad is southeast of Oslo, quite a ways from Helgøya and the Syver Eriksen involved in the Rakkestad marriage to Anne Larsdatter was two years younger.

Neither he nor Anne Marie could be found in Rakkestad in the 1865 census.

Other sources say his wife was Ingrid Jensdatter. Neither he nor Ingrid Jensdatter could be found in Næs in the 1865 census.

Birth:
Helgøya

Syver married Anne Marie Larsdatter on 25 Jan 1844 in Rakkestad, Østfold, Norway. Anne was born about 1822 in Norway. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Family/Spouse: Gjermund Pedersen. Gjermund was born in 1792 in Ostfold, Norway. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He is the Erik Andersen, b. 1822, living as a husmand med jord on Pilstøn in Næs in the 1865 census. His wife was Angnet Larsdatter, b. 1822, and their sons were Andreas Eriksen, b. 1849, and Lars Eriksen, b. 1852. All born in Næs.

In the 1875 census, they were still on Pilstøen in Nes. Erik is now shown as b. 1821, Agneth Larsd in 1829, and Andrias in 1849. Lars is not listed with this family. Andrias’s occupation is trader of some sort.

He was on Eskerud at the time that he married Agnethe Larsdatter.

Jorunn says that he was a farmer on Pilstoen in 1865 and 1875. In 1880 he bought Bratlie. His sons sold the place after their parents’ death.

Erich married Agnethe Larsdatter on 12 Nov 1849 in Næs, Hedmark, Norway. Agnethe (daughter of Lars Andersen) was born in 1830. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Occupation: Dairy farmer in the U.S., Jordarbejder in Norway
• Baptism: 13 Jul 1834, Næs, Hedmark, Norway
• Confirmation: 6 Oct 1850, Næs, Hedmark, Norway

Notes:

His name in Norway was Ole Andersen Aflangerud.

In a book that Kristiane had, Ole’s middle initial is C.

His birth record is for, simply, Ole Anderssen. Among the people whose names are identifiable as baptismal sponsors: Magrethe Ericksdatter Heggen, Amünd Anderssen Lünds, Karie Ericksdatter, unmarried, Sÿver Erickssen Engesoüg, and Sÿver Pedersson whose farm name may be Gagnamdan.

There is a comment that I am unable to translate in his confirmation record.

Shown in the 1865 Norwegian census as Ole Andersen, born in 1834 and living in or on the Orderholdt domicile in Næs, Hedmark, in the Helgeøen school district. Ole’s occupation in Jordarbejder (farm worker or field laborer). The household doesn’t have much, only 10 units of potatoes. Included in the household is Ole Anderssen, 32, born in Næs, Kristiane Kristiansdatter, 28, his wife, born in Toten vestre, and “his daughter” Anne Marie Olsdatter, 12, born in Næs.

The bygdebøk says “Ole Andersen Fløttum, f. 1834, var jordarbeider og bodde her i 1865.”

Ole (33) and Christiana (29) supposedly, according to Cora, emigrated to the US from Norway in October of 1867 with one child, Carl (6 months). This conflicts with the 1900 census entry for Charlie which indicated the year of immigration as 1869. In Kristiane’s obituaries, she is claimed to have come to the U.S. in 1870. Could not find the emigration entry for them in the parish record.

A declaration for an Ole Anderson to become a citizen was declared in La Crosse County and so recorded on October 31, 1865. The hearing, order, and filing of his citizenship was on June 12, 1872. Another entry for an Ole Anderson, perhaps more likely to be our Ole, was a declaration on February 3, 1874, and the hearing, order, and filing on October 30, 1878.

In the 1870 census, the Andersons were living in the 2nd ward in LaCrosse. The family is Ole, 37, Christiana, 32, Carl, 3, and daughter Jennie, 5 months. Ole’s occupation is shown as “laborer.” Jennie is shown as born in Wisconsin, the others in Norway.

In the 1880 census, shown as living in 3rd ward, LaCrosse, occupation “peddler”, age 47. Wife, Christina, age 42, “keeping house.” Sons Carl, age 13, and Ole, age 6. Only Ole was born in Wisconsin. The other three are shown as born in Norway, and everyone’s parents are shown as born in Norway.

Lived at 609 South 8th Street in LaCrosse. {No, 603 S. 8th Street; 609 was next door.} “He bought the big lot on [the] corner [and] built [the] house in front on [the] street [and] built [the] barn for his cows on [the] back of [the] lot, next to [the] alley [, and] took his cows to graze on [the] farm [a] short ways from his house outside town."

Cora says that she, Ron, and I saw the place when we drove down to LaCrosse in the mid-1960s. At the time, she recalls, the house had been moved to the side and a new one built in front. The old house had had a big part torn off of it and so wasn't as large as it had been in Cora's day. She also recalled the lot being bigger than the one we saw.

{Cora’s recollections may not be correct. The house as I saw it in 2004 looked to be the same size and shape as the one drawn in the La Crosse fire insurance maps for the late 1800s or early 1900s.}

Notes:

An Edvard was born in Rakkestad on 1 Jul 1844 to Syver Eriksen and Anne Marie Larsdatter. That Edward is probably the Edvard Syversen “indtinget Fattiglem” on Orud in Rakkestad with the Kristen Olsen family in the 1865 census.

Birth records for Nes in 1844 are not available on Digitalarkivet. Confirmation records in Nes for the applicable dates do not include and Edvard Severson.

The Edward Severson who died of sepsis on April 5, 1915, at the Parkview hospital in Jamestown, North Dakota, was shown as 75 years old in the brief obit in the Jamestown newspaper. That Edward’s obit said he normally lived in Robinson and that he was survived by two sons who lived in Robinson. That Edward Severson’s Find A Grave entry says that he was born in Norway in 1841.
