The only known lines in Peter's immediate family are those "acquired" through marriage (his wife was a Brooks) or the marriage of his children (the daughter married a Hepler, the son married a Crow).Because Peter is not shown to be in America until the 1850 census (in LaSalle County), it is assumed he emigrated from Norway in the 1840s.It is unknown if he came with any family such as parents or siblings.
