It appears that we have a situation where Margit Nilsdatter, (Mrs
Endre Hansen Ellerud) became a widow in April 1792. and had a
relationship with Bottolf Rasmussen and had her son Bottolf Bottolfsen
in Juni 1793,
That same year and a month earlier, Bottolf Rasmussen married Ragna
Knudsdatter. (June 9, 1793) and about 4 or 5 months later Bottolf and
Ragna had a daughter Barbro. (christened Nov 24, 1793)
Note: if Bottolf Bottolfsen was born 1790 as marriage record
indicates by his age and his Tombstone shows birth of Juni 1790, then
he was born before his mother's first husband died.) Suppose it is
possible??? There is much confusion as to the birthdate for Bottolf
Bottolfsen, the May 1850 passport information for Bottolf Bottolfsen
states that he was 55 years old. He would have been 56 then in June,
after sailing for America, which would make his birth year 1794. If he
was born the same year as he was christened that would mean he was
born 1793. According to the 1801 census information Bottolf Bottolfsen
was born abt 1795-96. I tend to believe that he was born no later than
1793 and possibly earlier.
I am especially trying to confirm the birth date for Bottolf
Bottolfsen as well as find information on his father Botolph Rasmussen
and his wife Ragna Knudsdatter and what happened to them.
As well as information on what happened to Margit Nilsdatter and find
her probate.
I realize this is a very long message. but it is a complicated
situation and called for a large posting.
thank you for any help at all
