Generation: 4

  1. 10.  Eric ERICSSON was born on 16 Oct 1843 in Rättvik, Dalarnas län, Sweden (son of Eric ERICSSON and Brita Hansdotter BEYER); died on 18 Sep 1893 in Isanti County, Minnesota.

    Notes:

    The Vigselbok for Rättvik, 1867, clearly shows that, on March 25, 1867, Mårs Erik Ersson of Wikarbyn, b. 1843, married something (looks like Snit) Brita Andersdatter of Sätra, born 1846. It was the first marriage for each.

    In the 1880 U.S. census, he was Erick Erickson, age 36, a farm laborer living with his family in Spring Vale Twp, Isanti County. The rest of the household is Betsy, 33, Betsy, 9, Annie, 3, and Erick, 6 months. The next family on the census form is Daniel H Findall, 57, his wife Betsy, 58, and children Erick and Betsy.

    In the 1885 Minnesota census, he was S.E. Erickson, age 41, living with his family in Springvale Twp, Isanti County, Minnesota. The rest of the household was Mrs. Bessy Erickson, 38, Betsy Erickson, 14, Anna Erickson, 8, Erick Erickson, 5, Mary Erickson, 3, and Clara Erickson, 0. The two youngest had been born in Minnesota, the rest were born in Sweden.

    He is referred to as S.E. Erickson. An article in the Princeton Union says that he was thrown from a load of straw and killed when the hind wheel of the wagon rolled over the top part of his head and crushed his skull.

    Another article in the Princeton Union says that Eric Erickson was “strawing” the road near Spectacle Lake in Spring Vale. He fell off the wagon “and in falling came in contact with the horses. The frightened team ran away and the wheels passed over the unfortunate man’s head killing him almost instantly.”

    Birth:
    at Snis?

    Eric married Britta ANDERSDOTTER on 25 Mar 1867 in Rättvik, Dalarnas län, Sweden. Britta was born on 16 Sep 1846 in Rättvik, Dalarnas län, Sweden; died on 18 Sep 1900 in Hennepin County, Minnesota. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 11.  Britta ANDERSDOTTER was born on 16 Sep 1846 in Rättvik, Dalarnas län, Sweden; died on 18 Sep 1900 in Hennepin County, Minnesota.

    Notes:

    There is confusion about this Britta. The First Lutheran Church record for the Household Examination for Hans Findell calls her Brita Olsdotter with her birthday as 16 Oct 1843. The household examination for the Hans Findell family that calls her the 1843 Brita Olsdotter also clearly shows her as the mother of Erik Erikson 1879, Maria Carolina Erikson 1881, Clara Christina Erikson 1885, and Emma Erikson 1886.

    In the 1880 census, as a very recently arrived immigrant, she is Betsy Erickson, age 33.

    In the 1895 Minnesota state census, she is Betsy Findel, age 48, the wife of Hans Findel, age 50. They live on a farm in Spring Vale Twp, Isanti County. The rest of the household is Eric Erickson, 15, Mary Erickson, 14, Clara Erickson, 10, Emma Erickson, 8, Daniel Findel, 72 and an invalid, and Brita Findel, 73.

    In the 1900 census, she was Brita Findell, age 53, still living in Spring Vale Twp with her husband Hans and her children Erick, Maria, Clara, and Emma, all of whom have the surname Findell on the census form. She has had 8 children, 5 still living. She came to the U.S. in 1880.

    Thus, all of these censuses, as well as the marriage record, agree that the Brita involved here is Brita Andersdotter who was born in 1846. The DeGriselles Family Tree agrees that the mother of those Erickson children was Britta Andersdotter 1846. We’ll probably never know how this confusion arose. Hans Findell did later marry a Brita Olsdotter but that was much later and to a much younger Brita.

    Died:
    Or 8 Sep in St. Paul which is consistent with the First Lutheran Church record for Hans Findell which says that she died at “Beth Hospital” from cancer of the liver.

  3. 12.  Daniel Hanson FINDELL was born on 24 Sep 1823 in Rättvik, Dalarnas län, Sweden; died on 4 Sep 1896 in Isanti County, Minnesota.
