John Pedersen (Arnstad, maybe) father

[Gregg Westling]

I have a good start on his wife’s (Ingeborg Pedersdatter Myhr) lineage, but I can’t seem to find anything on John’s family other than his father’s name “Peder Johansen”

Here’s John and Ingeborg’s marriage, record #51

TarynMN has said that John’s farm name might be Arnstad and he was born in 1802-3. I haven’t found birth records for those years in the Nord-Trøndelag county, Stjordal ministerial books. I guessed that Peder might have been born in the 1770’s but have not been able to find him yet.

Peder came from the farm Arnstad in Skatval:

 

John Pedersen Arnstad b. Dec 29, 1802, dead before 1865 son of Peder Johansen Arnstad baptised March 18, 1770, d Feb 1, 1846 and Ellen Johnsdatter Skjervold b 1780, d May 8, 1832.

 

John married Oct 9, 1826 to the widow Ingeborg Petersdatter Myhr b 1796, d Jan 28, 1876

 

Ingeborgs first husband was also named John Pedersen(!) they had 3 children

 

If you send med your e-mail address I will scan and send you (Monday morning) the bygdebok pages for both the Arnstad and Myhr farms
