    Notes 
    • Or Carin.

      Other records say Karin Jonsson, born 2 Mar 1836. The household exam definitely shows the 6th as her birthdate.

      Seems to have left her parents’ household on August 11, 1866. At that point they appear elsewhere in the Marby household exam: at a farm named Meikelsson. They leave that location, and move to Kläppe, before Jonas Petter is born because he is not listed although Anna Catharina is. In 1875, they move again, apparently to a different farm in or near Kläppe.

      The 1890 Swedish Census records show the name as Karin Jonsdotter, born in 1836. In 1890, Jonas and Anna are still listed as single and living at home. The census record does not mention Marta who, according to other records, had married and, presumably, moved away from home.

      Anna Jönsson Ellingboe's cousin Olof Jönsson found the records for the 1909 auction mentioned in the notes under Jonas Persson. At the time of Carin's death, Carin's daughter Märta had already died so that her share of the inheritance was to be distributed to her four children.

      In February of 1982, Rudolph Johnson wrote to Mary Carlson as follows:

      "The only information I got is the auction papers on the household goods of our father's mother. They are in a wallet in a trunk upstairs. She died in May 1909. Her daughter Martha died in February the same year. Her daughter Anna had gone to America. Her son our father was at the sale and bought quite a lot of stuff. Martha's daughter Karin also was at the sale and bought some stuff. After funeral expenses were deducted, 1/3 of the proceeds was given to pa, 1/3 was sent to Anna in America and 1/3 was given in equal amounts to each of Martha's four living children. Her oldest son had died from internal bleeding. He had lifted too hard in a piano they were moving up a stairway and busted an artery next to the heart.

      "Our father's father had died earlier from cancer. He went to Stockholm to see a specialist but nothing could be done to save him. He bought and sold horses. Pa used to help his grandpa put up wood for the winter at their home in Oviken. His grandpa was his mother's father, Mr. Persson.

      [Rudolph is apparently confused on this point. Persson was his father's father.]

      "Dates of births and deaths I think are written in the old bibles that have been handed down from our grandparents. I think our parents were married in the fall in 1908 I'm not sure."
