...., QC - St. Ansgarius (Chicago) Marriages

Notes

The notes are designed to add further identification to the persons listed in the .St. Ansgarius Parish registry of marriages. The number assigned to each marriage is the number given to the marriage transaction in the registry. Since each nuptial occurrence involves not only the two marriage partners but also one or several witnesses, each numbered note may contain more than one identification. Where a witness appears more than once, no further reference will be made. These identifications, at best, are attempts to add some flesh to the bones. They are not meant to be exhaustive, but rather a means to show that the source material is rich and varied. With more time and effort, it should be possible to widen the identification process considerably. Because so many of the names listed are patronymics, no attempt has been made to differentiate between them, unless incontrovertible proof can be found in other sources.

I. Mrs. Bred berg, who appears as a witness more than 70 times during this period of 12 years, was the wife of the Rev. Jacob Bredberg the rector of St. Ansgarius. She is also listed as Mrs. C. Bredberg (for Carolina, her baptismal name) and Mrs. J. Bredberg(as the wife of Jacob). She was b. in Hjo Parish (Skar.) 18 Aug. 1815, dau. of Carl Gustaf Bergstrom and Ulrika Carolina Carlsson. Shed. in Chicago 23 Oct. 1888. - Cook County Illinois Death Lists (microfilm in the Family History Center, Salt Lake City, UT, (CCD); Goteborgs landsarkiv (The District Archives of Goteborg) (GLA).

Mrs. Peterson, who also appears as Mrs. J. Peterson, Mrs. John Peterson, Mrs. C. Peterson and Mrs. Carin Peterson for a total of 52 times as a witness, may be identical to the Bredberg dau., Ulrica Catharina, b. in Sweden 1843, and who according to a Swedish source was m. in America. In the list of parishioners in the St. Ansgarius Parish in the 1870s there is a John Peterson listed with his wife Carin. The fact that Mrs. Peterson appears as a witness at the rectory, usually together with Mrs. Bred berg or with one or two of the Bred berg sons, strengthens this theory. Carin would have been the popular form of Catharina. - St. Ansgarius Parish Records (SA); Joh. W. Warholm, Skara stifis herdaminne, 1-11 (Mariestad 1871-1874), I, pp. 363-364.

11 . John August Davis was b. in Uddevalla in Aug. 1843, presumably the s. ofOlof Davis. From 1867 to 1874 he res. in Illinois and from 1878 to 1910 he res. in Iowa. He became a U.S. citizen 4 Oct. 1878. He and his wife had no less than eleven children. -Information courtesy Jacqueline Johnson, San Francisco, CA, a great granddaughter.

19. Frans Eberhard Jochnick, b. in Vanersborg 7 July 1819, s. of Samuel Jochnick, lawyer (vicehiiradshovding), and Anna Lisa Ljung. He joined the Gota Artillery Regiment in 1835, became a sergeant in 1840and then served as a volunteer in the Danish army in its war with Prussia 1848-1849. After the war he became a bookkeeper in Stockholm 1849-1852, but in the latter year he emigr. to America and settled in Chicago 1857. From 1862 to 1870 he was employed in the U .S.Post Office in Chicago and then joined the Swedish-American newspapers Svenska Amerikanaren and later Svenska Tribunen as bookkeeper and treasurer. He was active with the latter newspaper until shortly before his death in Winnetka, IL l6June 1895. He is bur. in Rosehill Cemetery in Chicago. His wife preceded him in death. There were no children. - Kung/. Gota artilleriregemente, 1-11 (Uppsala 1954, 1962), II, p. 336; Eric Johnson and Carl Fredrik Peterson, Svenskarne i Illinois, first and second editions (Chicago 1880) (JP), 2nd ed., p. 412; Birger Scholdstrom, "Svenskarne under Dannebrogen anno 48" in Damer och knektar (Stockholm 1902), p. 37.

Albertina Victoria lfvendorff, b. in Boston,MA 22 Dec. 1837, dau. of Carl Christoffer lfvendorff, innkeeper (giistgivare), and Anna Sophia Lang. She accompanied her family to Solvesborg 1842. Her father, b. in Bjarna, Finland 1793, had arr. in Boston early and had been naturalized a U.S. citizen 11 Feb. 1835. He d. in Solvesborg 26 May 1845 . His widow gave birth to a dau., Wendla Ulrika in Solvesborg 23 Dec. 1848, the father being Lars Thorsson Aberg, who had promised to marry the widow. The consistory of the Diocese of Lund, however, annulled the agreement 26 Sept. 1849 and the following year Anna Sophia m. Fredrik Sparrestrom, a soldier. Together with his new family Sparrestrom emigr. to Boston 1853 and from there the family moved to Chicago. Albertina Jochnick d. in Jefferson, IL 17 Aug. 1880. - Information courtesy Erik Wiken, Stockholm; Nils William Olsson, Swedish Passenger Arrivals in U.S. Ports (except New York) (Stockholm and St. Paul, MN 1979) (SPAexNY), p.4; Lunds landsarkiv (District Archives at Lund) (LLA).
