I think the history
listed may be a bit wrong about who the first woman was.
According to our
family history, Johanna, her son Charles Peterson, and her
brother Gabriel
Pearson, went to Red Oak Iowa, in 1869-1870, then joined
Anders in
Saronville.
Their second son, Anders “John” was born (the first white boy born in Clay
County as
some histories say) in 1871.
My grandfather was their third son,
Albert, born in 1873.
They had nine children altogether, and six lived.
