Not too much is known of this family. Lisa Henderson found an obituary for Gunnild Johnsdatter that matches the age of Ole Johnson. Here is where she found it. A wonderful find. Here it is:
Gunnild Jørgensdatter, død 21.5.1841;
enkemann John Nielsen og barna: 1. Niels Johnsen 18 år 14.4.184 1; 2. Jørgen Johnsen 15 år; 3. Ole Johnsen 10 år; 4. Peder Johnsen, 8 år høsten 1840; 5. Hans Johnsen 2 år; 6. Marie Johnsdatter gm. Isak Olsen Namløs; 7. Aaste Johnsdtr. 21 år. Formynder for Niels: Clemet Nielsen Sagene; for Jørgen og Ole: Peder Augustinussen Åmtvet; for Peder, Hans og Aaste: Ole Augustinussen Graver.
What we think this translates to is:
Gunnild Jorgensdatter, death 21 May 1841; husband John Nielsen and children:
1. Niels Johnsen 18 year 14.4.184 1; 2. Jorgen Johnsen 15 year; 3. Ole Johnsen 10 year; 4.Peder Johnsen, 8 year autumn 1840; 5.Hans Johnsen, 2 year: 6.Marie Johnsdatter gm. Isak Olsen Namlos; 7.Aaste Johnsdtr. 21 year. Guardian for Niels: Clemet Nielsen Sagene; For Jorgen and Ole: Peder Augustinussen Amtvet;For Peder, Hans and Aaste: Ole Augustinussen Graver.
About a year later, I came across a Norwegian website dating this family back hundreds of years ago. There was a total of over 1400 names. It had everything. I must redirect you there. The family goes all the way back and I have not figured out a good way to post it on here or even organize it myself, just yet. But here is the Link. You must click on the search and put in Ole Johnsen's name and then find him on the list under his birthdate, Feb 15th, 1831.
