Generation: 3

  1. 6.  Ove Vilhjelmsson /WILLIAMS WILLIAMSON (BAGGETHUN) was born on 20 Jan 1819 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway (son of Vilhjølm Vilhelmson BAGGETHUN and Anna Ovesdotter BERGE); died on 13 Aug 1896 in Waupaca County, Wisconsin; was buried in Scandinavia Lutheran Cemetery, Scandinavia Twp, Waupaca County, Wisconsin.

    Notes:

    He is named in the church book birth record as the father of Ove O Ellingboe (#3231). However, that is quite unlikely due to the lack of corresponding matches in modern DNA testing results.

    Ove Vilhelmson later married and moved his family to America in 1849.

    The 1849 date is confirmed by the Digitalarkivet: Migrants from Valdres 1816-67 database. The 30 year-old Ove Vilhelmsen of Bagethun farm in Vang, Valdres, left for America in April of 1849. The notes for the entry say “Amerika - Tilladelse Ifølge Resl Af 6 Febr D. A.” Accompanying him were his wife, Anne Andersdatter, 27, and their two daughters, Anne Ovesdatter, 5, and Berith Ovesdatter, 1 and 1 months. In the church book’s emigration record, Ove and Anne and family left Vang on April 4, 1849.

    Probably he is the “Oval Williamson” farming in Muskego, Waukesha County, Wisconsin, in the 1850 census (September 18th). The farm is worth $600. The family consists of Oval Williamson, 43, his wife Ann, 30, and their daughters Ann, 6, and Betsey, 3. They were all born in Norway and the girls had not begun school yet.

    In the 1860 census (July 3rd), the family had moved to the town of Scandinavia in Waupaca County, Wisconsin. The family consisted of Over Williamsen, 40, Ann, 40, Ann, 16, Betsey, 12, William, 10, Andrew, 7, Dena, 5, Boga, 2, and Over, 1. The census form notes that the four oldest children attended school and that the children from William on were born in this country. The value of the family’s real estate was $1000 and the value of their personal property was $300.

    In the 1870 census (August 9th), the family was still living in Scandinavia, Waupaca County. The family consisted of Ova Williamson, 51, Anna, 50, Anna, 24, Andrew, 17, daughter Dina, 14, son Boie, 12, Edward, 10, and Antone, 8. The real estate is worth $1400 and the family’s personal property is worth $550. Couldn’t find William in the 1870 census.

    In the 1880 census (June 21st), the family is still in Scandinavia Township. The household consists of Ove Wilhelmson, 61, Anne, 50, Dinah, 24, and G. Anton, 17. Dinah is noted as being disabled by “female complaints.”

    In the 1895 state census (June 20th) the O. Williams household had 4 people: 3 males and one female; 1 foreign born in Scandinavia, 3 born in the U.S. This suggests that his wife wasn’t in the household.

    The 1895 biography of his son Buck says this about Ove:

    Ove Williamson, was born in Norway, January 20, 1819, was educated in the schools of his native land, and the days of his boyhood and youth were passed upon the farm. His marriage to Miss Annie Kjos took place in Norway in 1844, and five years later, in 1849, he crossed the Atlantic in a sailing vessel to the New World, where he hoped to secure a home and competence. He first located in Muskegon, where he worked as common laborer some three years, coming thence to Waupaca county in 1853. He was one of the first settlers, and is now the second oldest living resident in Scandinavia township. The hardships and trials of pioneer life are familiar to him, and the history of that county is known to him from the days when it was almost unbroken wilderness, inhabited mostly by Indians. He has borne an important part in the work of development, transforming the land from its uncultivated condition into rich and valuable farms. Here he purchased 160 acres of wild land, on which not a furrow had been turned or an improvement made, and successfully continued its cultivation until 1884, when enfeebled health caused him to lay aside business cares, and he is now living a retired life. He worked for many years on the river, rafting logs, and his career has been that of an industrious and energetic man, bringing to him a well-merited competence. He is a stanch Republican in politics and has served in several local offices with credit to himself and satisfaction to his constituents. He filled the office of assessor for twelve years and has also been township treasurer. He and his family are members of the Lutheran Church, Mrs. Williamson, who was born in Norway September 29, 1820, is also yet living. Their children were: Annie, now the wife of August Larson, a resident of Wausau; William, who is living in La Crosse, Wis; Andrew, the efficient sheriff of Waupaca county; Berit, deceased; Denah; Boie, subject of this sketch, Edward Ove, of Waupaca; Anton G., a farmer of Scandinavia township; and Lewis B., deceased.

    He died and was buried as O Williams.

    The 1889 plat map of Scandinavia Twp, and the 1912 land ownership map shows a 120 acre parcel owned by “Ove Williamson.” The farm was probably being run by Anton and Dena in 1912. The parcel is defined as the eastern half of the northeast quarter of Section 18 and the northeast quarter of the southeast quarter of Section 18. Today, this parcel is about three miles west of the village of Scandinavia and about 4 miles northeast of Amherst. The parcel is nearly bisected by County Road B and its western boundary is, in part, Gilman Road. The Tomorrow River State Trail (on the old Green Bay and Western railroad right-of-way) is just south of the parcel. The portion of the parcel north of County Road B is now forest. The current location of the farmhouse (on the south side of County Road B, about 750 feet east of Gilman Road) appears to be where it was in 1912.

    The Wisconsin Land Patent Database shows three parcels for Ove in Section 18:

    1) 40 acres in 23N, 11E, granted to Ove Wilhelmsen through the Stevens Point land office on 15 Dec 1855.
    2) 40 acres in 23N, 11E, granted to Ove Wilhelmsen through the Stevens Point land office on 1 Sep 1856.
    3) 40 acres in 23N, 11E, granted to Ove Williamson through the Wausau land office on 20 Mar 1875.

    Buried:
    A 18 142

    Ove married Anne Andersdatter KJØS in 1845 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. Anne (daughter of Anders Ericksen KJØS and Berith Gudmundsdatter REMME) was born on 24 Oct 1820 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died in 1898 in Waupaca County, Wisconsin; was buried in Scandinavia Lutheran Cemetery, Scandinavia Twp, Waupaca County, Wisconsin.

  2. 7.  Anne Andersdatter KJØS was born on 24 Oct 1820 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway (daughter of Anders Ericksen KJØS and Berith Gudmundsdatter REMME); died in 1898 in Waupaca County, Wisconsin; was buried in Scandinavia Lutheran Cemetery, Scandinavia Twp, Waupaca County, Wisconsin.

    Notes:

    An Anne Williamson died in Waupaca County on Aug 5, 1896, according to the Wisconsin Index of Deaths. The 1898 date is on the gravestone.

    Her maiden name from the cemetery records. Gravestone or cemetery records note that the Anne Williamson above was the wife of Ove.

    There were two girls named Anne Andersdatter Kios born in Vang at about this time: one on 15 Oct 1820 and one on 24 Oct 1820. The earlier was born to Anders Christophersen and Gjertrude Ericksdatter. The later was born to Anders Ericksen and Berith Gudmundsdatter. From the names given to her second and third daughters, we can conclude that Ove Vilhjelmsson’s wife was the daughter of Anders Ericksen.

    Called Berit Andersdatter in the baptism record for her son Gudmund Anton.

    Birth:
    29 Sep 1820 according to her son Buck’s bio
