[#17211] Ole Mattias Pedersen (1820-?) Baker of Farsund

[Gjest Richard Arthur Norton]

Ole Mathias Pedersen (1820-c1910) aka Ole Matias Petersen, Baker of Farsund in Norway (b. 1820, Herred, Farsund, Vest-Agder, Norway - d. circa 1890-1910, Vanse, Farsund, Vest-Agder, Norway) Ole is the husband of Tea Johanne Torstensdatter (c1820-c1864) and they had the following children: Peder (Peter) Matias Olsen (1851-?) aka Peter Matthew Olsen; Teodor (Theodore) Johan Olsen (1852-?); Josette Teresia Olsdatter (1855-?) aka Joletta Olsdatter; Ottan Olsen (1858-1921) aka Otto Olson who moved to Chicago, Illinois, USA and married Hannah Hansen (1864-1936) and had 5 children; Hanne (Hannah) Eline Olsdatter (1860-?) aka Hane Eline Olsdatter; and Salmine Sophia Severine Pedersen (1862-1914) aka Salmine Sopie Olsdatter who married John Edward Winblad (1856-1914) and moved to Manhattan in New York City and then moved to Jersey City, New Jersey and then moved to the Isle of Pines in Cuba and then died while visiting family in Farsund, Norway. In the 1865 Norway Census, Ole is the head of household and they have a servant, Ane Lisabet Abramsdatter. Ole and his daughter Salmine appear to be travelling outside Sweden on September 04, 1884 and Salmine is listed as 'Salmine Wemmeland' perhaps a phonetic interpretation of the name 'Winblad'. No picture of Ole is known to exist and no living family members have been found in Norway or Chicago. Ole and his family are buried in Farsund, Norway most likely on the Vanse parish. I am looking for living relatives in Norway from his descendents.

I have found Ole (Mathias) Pedersen in the 1900 census. He is living by his nephew, Bernt Hansen, on Klungeland farm in Herad.
