Utreist til/Emigrated to: Erin Township, Washington Co., Wisconsin

From David L. Johnson I have received the following information:

Daniel Solvesen, Anders Solvesen, Marthe Maria Solvesdatter and Ingeborg Solvesdatter were siblings who emigrated together.  They were the children of Solve Danielsen Hyni and Maren Thorsdatter, who came from Holla parish. Maren Thorsdatter died 24 Sep 1832, and Solve Danielsen Hyni died in 1839.

 

There were at least six children from the marriage of Solve Danielsen and Maren Thorsdatter: Henrik (b. 1814), Thor (b. 1818), Daniel (b. 1820), Marthe (b. 1823), Anders (b. 1825), and Ingeborg (b. 1829).  In 1835, three (Henrik, Marthe and Ingeborg) were living in the household of their uncle, Henrik Danielsen Hyni.  Thor Solvesen was a servant at Strømdal, Daniel Solvesen was a student living at Goberg u. Aarhuus, and Anders Solvesen was not listed in Gjerpen.

 

In 1843, Thor Solvesen emigrated to Chicago.  He married Else Kirstine Andersdatter from Gjerpen, and he died in Chicago in 1882.

 

Daniel Solvesen must have returned from America.  He was living at Hyni in 1865, married to Sophie Marie Torkildsdatter, the daughter of Torkild Sigurdsen Skilbred and Maren Johnsdatter.  Daniel and Sophie Marie had three children in the 1865 census.

 

The paternal grandparents were Daniel Henriksen Hyni and Marthe Solvesdatter Grini.

 

Maren Thorsdatter may be the same person that is listed in the 1801 census of Holla parish as Marie Thorsdatter, age 14, living at Søwe, daughter of Thor Jørgensen and Margrethe Andersdatter.  This is not certain.
