Dagens påskenøtt er ei oppfølgjing av nøtt #2 og gjeld sonen Zacharias Asbjørnson og huslyden hans i Amerika. Dei to sønene som vart gifte, fann båe koner frå Telemark, og eg manglar ein del detaljar om huslydane derifrå. Men ogso har eg vanskar med å finna ut om lagnadane til fleire av barneborni her... Manuskriptet mitt ser pr. i dag slik ut: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NB: Etter mange nye innlegg er dette manuskriptet no erstatta av eit nytt i innlegg #9 under! Her er forresten ein militærbiografi frå Vesterheim Library over livet til Asbjorn Sachariason: Asbjorn Sachariason was born on March 8, 1838 to Zacharias Asbjornsen and Else Andersdtr in Luster, Sogn Og Fjordane, Norway. When the Civil War started, he joined the WI 15th Infantry, Company E. The men of the company called themselves "Odin's Rifles." The army listed him as living in Rushford, Fillmore County, MN, age 22, and unmarried. He enlisted for three years on December 18, 1861 at La Crosse, WI. His enlistment is credited to La Crosse. He mustered on December 20, 1861 at Madison, WI as a Private (Menig). Sachariason was left sick in hospital at Mississippi River Island No. 10 on June 11, 1862, but returned. He was missing on road between Cave City and Bowling Green, KY on October 31, 1862. He was seriously wounded and taken prisoner in the Battle at Stones River near Murfreesboro, TN on December 30, 1862. He was exchanged and sent to Parole Camp at St. Louis on June 30, 1863. On November 28, 1863, he was in the hospital at Chattanooga, TN and then sick in Nashville, TN on January 31, 1864 and also in Knoxville. He mustered out with Company E in Chattanooga, TN on December 20, 1864. After the war, he moved to the state of WA. He is buried in the Washington Soldiers Home Cemetery in Orting, WA on February 20, 1904. Eg takkar so mykje på førehand og ønskjer ein fortsatt God Påske!
