Looking for help with a brick-wall in the family tree. I am looking for any information at all on a John F Larsen (B:abt 1826 in Norway)& Inger Ella Thorsdatter (B:abt 1830 in Norway). I have found some information (census, etc.) suggesting they had 7 children.
They are:
Thomas Larsen (1857-12 Dec 1882)born & died in Iowa.
John Larson (1862-27 Aug 1884);died in Benton County.
Samuel Larson (25 Aug 1864-27 Oct 1940); born in Clinton County, died in Cherokee, IA.
Nels Larson (19 Sep 1867-13 Mar 1886); born in Benton County
Peter Lewis Larsen (11 Jan 1870-?); born in Benton County
Inger Serena 'Sarah' Larson (6 Apr 1872-17 Apr 1958); born in Benton County
Anna Elizabeth Larson (30 Jun 1874-22 Sep 1892); born & died in Benton CountyI am a descendant of Sarah Larson. She married John Elling Anderson 11 Dec 1902 in Nevada, Iowa and lived out her life on a farm outside Lakefield, Minnesota.
I have also looked at the old plat maps of Benton County. It appears John Larsen owned land in Section 1 of St. Clair Township and section 6 of Florence/Norway Township. I would really like to discover where they are buried and where in Norway they originated.
Thanks,
Colin
