Aslaksrud was the name of a farm in Norderhov, Buskerud, Norway.It was not uncommon for Norwegian emigrants to use a farm name as an identifier.
FamilySearch.org gives additional information about one of the men you mention --
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/N48L-W24
That leads us to the 1865 Norwegian census and his parents are already living on the Aslaksrud farm -
