Rolf H. Erickson*

Eventually a genealogist or historian has to turn to a library or archives. The Scandinavian-American researcher has several collections to consider in the search for material. I have listed only those collections with sizeable amounts uf useful material. The archives of the Scandinavian-American colleges, universities, and churches also hold information which may be of interest, but since the focus of those institutions is on their own histories, they are not included here. Any researcher approaching these collections to solve a genealogical problem must be aware that these collections were not formed to serve genealogists and, in most instances, they are not organized to answer genealogy questions. However, even a genealogist can find pertinent information with the right techniques. Approach a problem from a local history point of view. For example, you may have all the vital statistics about your Norwegian aunt Elsie and her Swedish husband Thure Asplund of northern Oconto County, Wisconsin, but want to know what sort of life they had and if they participated in local affairs, approach what you think may be the appropriate repository. You probably have already learned that the only Scandinavian community in the vicinity of their home was Danish and it was called Maple Valley. It had as its central instituti n, Our Redeemer's Lutheran Church, a member of the United Lutheran Church. An appeal from the church archives did not bring results, so you turn to the Danish Immigrant Archives but ask for documentation of this Danish colony rather than for specific information about the Thure Asplunds.

Three of the groups, the Danes, Norwegians and Swedes, have published guides to manuscript collections. They can be used on site, you may ask a librarian to borrow the guides through inter-library loan procedures, and you should urge appropriate local libraries to purchase them.

Part of any genealogist's or local historian's obligation iis to paint as well­ rounded a picture of the milieux of the subject as possible. Few readers, if any, are interested in perusing mere lists of people's names and dates. It is the primary source materials from Scandinavian-American communities1found in archives and libraries which give life to the final document.

American Swedish Historical Foundation-Museum 1900 Pattison Avenue Museum Educator: Birgitta Davis , PA 19145 (215) 389-1776 The American Swedish Historical Foundation-Museum was founded in

1926. While there is no printed brochure available The 1 Official Museum Directory (1989) notes that the building is located on a Queen Christina land grant from the 17th century. Collections: Swedish colonial and immigrant experience in the from 1638. There is a 12,500 volume reference library. The hours are IO a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday-Friday; noon to 4 p.m. Saturday; closed Monday; Sunday, noon to 4 p.m. There is an entrance fee to the building of $2.00. Birgitta Davis stresses that the collection contains material about the seventeenth century immigrations and very little ali>out later immigra­ tion of Swedes to America. Researchers wishing to use the cdllection should call beforehand; visitors are urged to come Tuesday-Friday since the weekend staff is small and unable to provide service of the archival material. Copying facilities are available.

International Order of Good Templar Archives 2926 Cedar A venue Archivist: Margit Crusell Minneapolis, MN 55407 (612) 721 -7606 (office) The archives is in its infancy and is mainly the result of the work of Mrs. Crusell who invites would-be researchers to contact her at her home telephone (612) 339-3473. The focus of the archives is the history of the Good Templar lodges, now called chapters. Because so many of the lodges in the Twin Cities area were Norwegian or Swedish (and, as Mrs. Crusell explains, "the Norwegians and Swedes have done so much more than others to keep their history'') the collection has many Norwegian and Swedish records. The collection contains membership rolls, minute books, publications, and memorabilia. Mrs. Crusell is at the Archives Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to l p.m. and at other times by appointment. Copying service is available in the office at ten cents a copy.

Luther College Library & Winneshiek Archivist: Duane W. Fenstermann County Historical Society Archives (319) 387-1164 Luther College Decorah, Iowa 52101-1060 The prime function of the archives in the Luther College Library (Preus Library) is to document the history of Luther College and Winneshiek County (Iowa). Holdings are not focused on family history nor are they arranged with a separate section for family history research. Some of the material useful to family historians is located in different parts of the library: microfilm section (census of northeast Iowa, Norwegian-American newspapers, Decorah English language newspapers), open stacks, and reference (obituary index to the Decorah English language newspapers). These are available whenever the library is open. Summer and holiday hours vary; call for details. The library has the most extensive holdings of Norwegian-American newspapers (all on microfilm) in the U.S. The published list of 1975, Norwegian-American Newspapers in Luther College Library, is now slightly out of date. Winnishiek County's early population consisted of English, German, Irish, Czech and Norwegian settlers. Write to the archivist with a list of questions before travelling to Decorah. Questions regarding family history in should be addressed to the Vesterheim Genealogical Center (see entry below). The archives contain over 500 collections ( over 1700 linear feet) including Papers of the Synod for the Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and major 19th century Norwegian church leaders/ educators. Hours for the archives are: 8 a.m. - noon, M-Th and 1 p.m. - 5 p.m. on Friday (other arrangements must be made in advance with the Archivist). Research costs: no charge for requests not involving extended research; research involving translation of the or extensive research will be forwarded to a qualified researcher. The researcher will contact the requestor before incurring any research fees . Extensive photocopy cost: $ .18 a sheet (legal and letter size), $ .25 for 11 x 17 sheets, plus postage and handling.

Swedes in the Naturalization Index - A Sampling \

Nils William Olsson

In the deep days of the Depression (the 1930s) the U.S. Government attempted by various administrations to provide employment for various categories of unemployed Americans. Thus the Historical Records Survey of the Works Progress Administration was given the project of indexing the naturalizations in all of the various courts, not only the federal courts, but also state, county and even municipal courts. The survey was conducted by unemployed clerical persons who examined each naturalization record and recorded the information on specially printed 3 x 5 index cards. These cards were then alphabetized by a special coded index named Soundex, which attempted to bring together under one coded category all which sound the same, but may be spelled differently, i.e. Smith, Smithe, Smythe, or Olsen, Olson, Olsson, Oleson and Ohlson. Thus each Soundex code consists of a letter, the first letter of the plus three numbers from 1 to 6. Since all vowels in addition to the letters W, Y and H are disregarded, the remaining letters are used to construct the code. Johnson becomes 1525 and Nicholson becomes N242. The six numbered categories are as follows:

The number Represents the letters

1 BPFV 2 CSKGJQXZ 3 DT 4 L \ 5 MN \ \ 6 R \ I With this ingenious system it is possible to penetrate huge collections of l names, as for instance the millions of names to be found in the 1900 and 1910 censuses. \ The WP A Index is extremely useful in that it provides guidance as to the presence in the index of persons believed to have been naturalized in a given court. One of the largest of such collections is the one dealing with the greater part of New

170 Swedes in the Naturalization Index

England, comprising Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Massa­ chusetts and Rhode Island. At first housed in the Central Search Room of the National Archives, this group has now been transferred to the Federal Archives and Records Center in Waltham, MA. For the Middle West, the good news is that a similar cache of WP A cards is housed in the Federal Archives and Records Center in Chicago. This collection known as Record Group 85 (RG 85) consists of no less than 1,114 boxes (each the size of a shoebox) filled with 3 x 5 cards, containing information concerning the petitioner, which may range from as little as his name, country of nativity, date of naturalization and the court in which the naturalization was conferred, to such expanded information as his place of birth, his residence address, his date and port of arrival in the U.S., and the names of the witnesses and their residence addresses. The territory covered in these index cards includes northern Illinois, eastern Iowa, southern Wisconsin and western Indiana. They are available to the public during research hours and may be consulted by using the Soundex code. Recently the entire collection has been microfilmed by the Family History Center in Salt Lake City, UT, where the films will be available to the public within the year. Copies will also be available in the National Archives in Washington, as well as the Federal Records Center in Chicago. An indication of the immensity of the material microfilmed is the fact that it took 185 rolls of microfilm to complete the program. The films will also be for sale to the general public for $23.00 a roll. It should be noted, however, that these cards are only a secondary source, having been copied from original records, where sometimes the writing has been difficult to decipher. The material should therefore be used with caution, to be checked against the original records, if these are available. On the other hand the RG 85 Index is a boon to the researcher who does not know where his ancestor petitioner was naturalized. Here he has at his fingertips an index which covers not only the federal courts but also the state and local court administrations. In order to see for myself how good the index was in ferreting out Swedes, I spent the better part of two days at the Federal Records Center in Chicago examining the contents of the first three boxes out of a total of 1,114. The project was quite rewarding but also awesome as I examined the cards one by one. I found a total of close to 300 petitioners in the three boxes, whose country of nativity was given as Sweden; Sweden/Norway or Norway/Sweden. Since the two countries were joined in a dual monarchy with the Swedish King as the ruler, Norwegians in many cases cited the dual monarchy as his or her place of origin. I would assume that in instances where the petitioner gave Norway/ Sweden as his country of origin, the petitioner may have been Norwegian. But this is not certain, since I have seen Norwegians using the Sweden/ Norway classifications and Swedes using the Norway/ Sweden classification. Therefore all three categories have been taken for

171 Swedish American Genealogist ~ 'l the sample. Only in those cases where the petitioner said his country was Norway was the card not researched. Of the three first boxes examined, I found box No. l to contain only 15 Swedes. Box No. 2 had 98 and box No. 3 no less than 165, doubtless due to the quantity of Abrahamsons who are filed here. I decided to use box two as a sample with its almost 100 names. They are listed here in alphabetical order, not according to the Soundex code. All pertinent information has been included except the addresses given for the petitioner and the witnesses. Also the number of the petition has not been listed, in order not to burden the presentation too much. Both the addresses and the certificate of naturalization number can easily be had by consulting the file card in qm,stion. It is difficult to project the total number of Swedes to be found in this collection, but by extrapolating from the contents of the first three boxes with approximately 300 names, the total should be 111,400 persons with Swedish or Swedish/Norwegian ancestry. The probability is that the figure would be much I higher, considering the large movement into the Middle West by Swedes with \ like Anderson, Carlson, Johnson, Olson and . Whatever the figure is, it represents a vast storehouse from which to draw material on the Swedish settlers in this part of the country.

John Root Once More \ I Erik Wiken* ' \, \ In the ongoing discussion concerning the identity of John Root, who 13 May ; \ 1850 shot and killed Erik Jansson, the sect leader, in Henry Co. Court House in \ Cambridge, IL, I do not believe that an important letter written by Anders Larsson1 of Chicago, which has a direct bearing on the event, has been duly noted. The letter was dated Chicago I Aug. 1850 and published in the newspaper \ Aftonbladet in Stockholm 2 Nov. 1850.2 The translated version follows: I

"I now wish to tell you the final bit of the life story of the prophet, as he called himself - the bishop of Bishop Hill. But in order for you to have a full grasp of the story, I must tell you the \ reasons for his sad end. During the fall of 1848 a number of Swedish gentlemen left Chicago for Bishop Hill, and it is probable that most of them were only going to stay a short while. It was during this time, when all (according to the dictate of the prophet) were to be married; and some of these gentlemen did not wish to brook God's demand (as it was called). Among them was a man named Root from Stockholm. He married Jan Andersson's daughter Lotta3 from Domta in L>sterunda. About a month later Root realized that he could not remain in Bishop Hill, and fruitlessly tried to convince his wife of all the deception, which lay as a foundation for their views. But he failed in his attempt; she was too heavily involved with them. Since that time Root has in a way been separated from the Erik Janssonists; partly because he has worked for an American, who has had contract jobs at Bishop Hill; partly because he has resided in the neighborhood, meaning finally to convince his wife to abandon the group. When this did not happen Root began taking legal action in order to get his wife and 4½ month old child away from there. He therefore took the county officers, i.e. the county's men of authority, to Bishop Hill, in order to exercise his legal rights. Both his wife and his child were released in Root's custody without any opposition. Root left immediately with his family and an American while the county officers took another route. But when Root came about three miles from the place, i.e. Bishop Hill, he was suddenly surrounded by a large crowd from Bishop Hill, all carrying weapons. These took Root's wife and child by force. Root immediately had the county

officers issue orders of arrest for the ~eaders of the gang, who also were arrested and in complete agreement with these officers, he travelled back to Bishop Hill, with no other companions than two loaded pistols, saying openly that anyone who dared stop him would get the first bullet. Everything, however, went along peacefully, since they all thought that he was to fetch his wife for a court appearance as a witness. But Root did not go there, but took another road to Rock Island. When it was discovered that Root was not in court (his presence was not required inasmuch as he had an attorney) some of the Erik Janssonists swore an oath that Root had disturbed the peace in Bishop Hill during their divine service, whereupon an order of arrest was issued for Root. But when they arrived in Rock Island to carry out the order and the Americans learned of their motive, they were happy to be able to return without a challenge. But Root decided after a few days to take his family to a safe place and decided to place her with her sister and brother-in-law in Chicago, namely Per Ersson4 from Grinda in Torstuna, whereupon he arrived here with his wife and child 15 March. The wife was rather taciturn in the beginning, but finally seemed to be satisfied with the situation. This did not last long, however because at 7 o'clock in the evening of 18 March both the wife and the child were missing. Jan Jansson5, formerly residing in Wansjo and nowadays living here in the city (and as you know, he is a brother of Erik Jansson) came running to us and told us what had happened. Root, who then was staying with us, immediately sensed something was wrong and said that no one else but the Erik Janssonists had been there and taken them. All inquiries were in vain. In the morning of the following day, we were informed that four of the Erik Janssonists had been in the city, namely Jon Olsson6 from Ina, Blombergson7, Petter Jansson from Sista and a servant named Lars, whom Jon Olsson had brought with him from Sweden. There were suspicious statements made as well as a private discussion, which Jan Jansson had had with Lotta a few hours before her disappearance, caused strong suspicions that Jan Jansson, himself was involved. He was arrested immediately and during the trial confessed that the persons mentioned before had taken the missing persons, saying that he had been a tool in their hands. The judge then told him: "You have already confessed so much, that if the situation does not change from the course it has taken, you can expect a jail term of from two to 14 years." But after 14 days' incarceration Jan Jansson was again a free man. Root again had arrest orders issued for the robbers, and travelled himself to deposit them with the county officers in Henry County. It was sad to see him now, since he was most disconsolate

179 \ Swedish American Genealogist \ \ ,\ \

over the loss of his wife and child, which he believed he would never again see alive. He knew all too well the conditions in Bishop Hill, since he had in the beginning been recruited to the upper echelon and thus had full insight into many things concerning the group. Many, though they did not know Root personally, were much interested in the case and expressed strong sympathies for him. At his departure he had two pistols with him and said: "These will from now on be the judge between Erik Jansson and myself." I and others tried to reason with him concerning the wrong approach to this question; but he answered me that it was virtually impossible for him to secure justice, since Erik Jansson had said that even if it would cost him $10,000, \ Root was not to have either wife nor child alive. Since Root, as I have : just mentioned, well knew the conditions in Bishop Hill and the \ methods used there, he fully believed Jansson's statement. We tried to I tell him the results of such action, but he answered that nothing \ remained for him to live for, since Erik Jansson had robbed him of \ everything of earthly pleasure. When Root, therefore, came to Henry County, about 100 Americans were in his company, in addition to the county officers. They all departed for Bishop Hill to take Erik Jansson and the four miscreants, who had been to Chicago, but no one was to be found in Bishop Hill and all search was in vain. The search went on for a couple of days and the officers had much trouble in preventing the posse from trying to destroy the place, since they were so angry. No Swede was among them, however. In the mean­ while Erik Jansson had travelled to St. Louis and the surrounding area, where he stayed for about six weeks, without anyone knowing where he was. The other four had escaped to California and \ individual letters from Swedes, who this spring had been to California, i related that these individuals had not even dared to stop en route in Independence, about 500 miles from here. During his absence in St. Louis Erik Jansson had an article in the newspapers in St. Louis, in which he falsely and untruthfully stated that Root in the company of seventy Americans had burned down almost all of the houses in Bishop Hill, where Erik Jansson was the highest authority in a Swedish settlement and where he out of the goodness of his heart had housed seventy widows and 150 orphans, whose parents had died of \ cholera, etc,, etc. This article gave the results he desired - so that he I again was able to dupe the people in St. Louis to loan him some cash I \ and goods to the value of more than $2,000. The article also \ influenced the governor of Illinois, to whom Erik Jansson also had I written. He had complained about the county officers, who had not i been willing to protect him or his followers and that the law did not I protect them. The governor gave the county officers a reprimand for I

180 l I I John Root Once More

not being alert to the situation. But these did not take the reprimand lightly, but collected enough affidavits concerning the truth of what had happened and of the orders for the arrest of Erik Jansson. As an aside it should be mentioned that Erik Jansson, in order to create good will for himself, at this time, signed an agreement to buy shares in the amount of $50,000 for the construction of a steam railway. On 11 May he returned home to Bishop Hill. Everyone warned him that he should be careful of Root, since everybody knew that Root at the very first opportunity would shoot him. Root had during this time practiced target shooting. On Sunday Erik Jansson preached nevertheless, saying that no bullet could harm him, and on Monday 13 May he travelled to the court house. Root met him in the court house, where he consulted with his five attorneys, and asked Jansson, if he could have his wife and child back. Erik Jansson then answered him by saying that a sow was good enough for a wife for Root. Root then immediately fired a pistol shot through Erik Jansson's heart. He also fired another shot, but it only went through the clothes and fell to the floor. Erik Jansson fell to the floor from the first shot and died within three minutes. After this deed, Root voluntarily handed over both of his pistols to the county officers and said: "Now I have completed my task; do what you want with me and what your duties command." The court house was almost full of people. When Root later was tried and asked if he had committed murder, he denied the charge. Supposedly he felt that his deed was not murder, but rather a good act, which had liberated the world of a monstrosity. Jakob Jakobsson9 from Soderala and Nils Hedin10 from Rede were present and carried off the lifeless body to Bishop Hill. Two days later we read the news in the local newspapers and in the same week I received no less than five letters about the event from the country; I have also talked to several persons who were present on the occasion. Every day for two weeks there is scarcely a newspaper which has not had an article concerning this event, and all were agreed that they would not use the term murder but use the expression Root's action or deed, etc. Some newspapers even had some silly articles, as an example speaking of Erik Jansson's resurrection and assumption to Heaven, etc. The event is unfortunate from only one aspect, in that Root got ahead of justice, since the bell of revenge had soon tolled for the last time for Erik Jansson, who then in a more disgraceful manner could have spent the remainder of his days reviewing his past. There seems to be total chaos in Bishop Hill, since their economic position is beyond help and the only hope is for the officers of the group11 , now in Sweden, that they will be able to bring back

181 Swedish American Genealogist

sufficient funds so that the creditors can be paid off part of what is owed them and arrangements can be made to satisfy the rest of the claims. They are therefore returning at a good time, or as we used to say in the old country - "in the nick of time." There is also a great need of leaders. During this vacancy (if I may use that term) Fiskra­ Anders12 and Brodd-Jonas 13 together with Miss Jansson supposedly are sharing the spiritual and secular supplies. Their physician, a young German, is supposed to have drafted a new for Bishop .1 Hill, which all will be asked to sign. I have spoken to a Swede, who has read this constitution. Miss Jansson (a clever, devious and arrogant Sigbritt) 14 is said to have had a hand in the authorship, and the purpose of the constitution is, as speedily as possible, to place Erik \ Jansson's 11 or 12 year-old son on the throne, supposedly under the guidance of the stepmother (if I can use that expression), since Erik \ Jansson is not supposed to have been legally married to this Miss Pollock, but only preached that God had united them and that no \ assistance was needed from any worldly authority. There are many comical stories concerning this union but what truthful persons, who have resided a long time in Bishop Hill, have to relate is as follows: two days after the death of his former wife from cholera, Erik Jansson preached that he had received a commandment and witness that he should marry immediately, in part because his bodily needs craved it and in part because he had to produce a mother for Israel. The woman who had received the commandment to take the place of the dead woman was therefore to appear the same evening in his sleeping quarters. This sermon produced results, but instead of one, three came, all of them having received the commandment, and all were willing to join him in bed. Erik Jansson is supposed to have declared that none of them had received the right command·ment. The choice was therefore moved up to the following evening, when two, who had received the commandment appeared, and according to the sources the stronger of the two assumed her role in bed. The following day Erik Jansson informed his congregation in his sermon that God had selected a mother, and she was the right one, since she had been present at his former wife's death, when her divine spirit apparently l flew into Miss Pollock or Miss Gabrielsson (her former husband was named Gabrielsson15, the rich man's son from Malung). \ How things are going to go for Root is not decided. His case will \ not come until next court session. Since he is poor and is not well \ '\ known, he cannot expect much sympathy; but nevertheless some of the most able attorneys have volunteered their services and it is said that four have been accepted. $500 have already been collected. Root is held in the prison in Toulon, Stark County, since they did not dare

182 John Root Once More

to place him in the court house in Cambridge or in Rock Island. Generally the sympathy is for Root and it is believed that not even in Henry County nor Knox County would it be possible to name a jury which would not vote freedom for Root. Even so, the governor in every state has the power to pardon, if it is sought, and even if Root himself does not care the least, people are in full action. I forgot to mention that while Erik Jansson had fled to St. Louis, he is supposed to have tried to declare Root's marriage to Lotta illegal, but this plan failed; he then attempted to get a divorce for them, but this also failed. There are rumors from the country that no means are spared to win complete exoneration for Root. I have now, as briefly as possible, sought to give you a truthful account of the last fate of Erik Jansson. I suppose that the newspapers long ago have kept you informed, but in case you had not known the correct reasons, then this story may be new to you and for other friends. I have to add, however, that in Sweden bounties are paid for the killing of lesser wild beasts. So far as I am concerned I don't wish to be the judge in this affair but I can truthfully say and I am secure in my statement, that had not the respected pastor Hedstrom 16 in Victoria with his restless activity on behalf of religion; his serious and compassionate sermons and advice appealed to the people, Americans as well as Swedes, that they should not take justice in their own hands, the group in Bishop Hill would certainly have been totally destroyed long ago. This man could see that time was running out and he told me last winter that the bell of the avenger would soon sound for the last time. Since I wrote this account I have been informed through the newspapers and also from letters received that Root a long time ago was out on bail, but if the case has been resolved or not I do not know. The newspapers also tell of the cholera epidemic which has hit Bishop Hill. Their physician was one of the first victims as was Brodd­ J onas and others.

This will attest to the fact that this copy is, after necessary corrections, completely in accord with and its meaning fully in agreement with the original letter which we have examined.

Joh. Er. Ekblom N.A. Brundin Sheriff Assistant Pastor in Torstuna

183 I Swedish American Genealogist ,\

Of value is Anders Larsson's statement that Root came from Stockholm. The same information is to be found in a slightly later letter by a member of the , Erik Ersson from Nora, who in writing a letter home to Sweden 9 Nov. 1850 says:

"He (Eric Jansson) was shot to death ... by a Swede/ram Stockholm named Root."17

Even Sven Werner, in a letter written home dated Andover 14 Nov. 1850 18 calls him "a Swede/ram Stockholm by the name of Ruth."

To this can be added Johan Hlillsen's account (though given quite a bit later to Philip Stoneberg, but Hlillsen had lived in Bishop Hill since 1847 19):

"Root was a Swedish native, the son of rich parents in Stockholm. ''20

Concerning Root's age there is a source of primary value, namely the entry in the Seventh U.S. Census for 1850, which for Stark Co., IL21 has the following entry:

"Jail John Root committed 1850 26 M Student Sweden charged [with] murder," in other words Root was probably born 1824 and was therefore of the same age as Lovisa Jansdotter,22 whom he married. \ ,; John Root died in Chicago 1 March 1856. 23 \

Despite intensive research it has not been possible up to this moment to find John Root in Swedish source materials. 24

In order to spare other researchers useless work I would like to relate that the young student named Joh. Roth, who appeared at the police headquarters in Goteborg 4 April 1848. is another person although it is tempting to link him to Root. This Johan Roth was b. in Edsberg Parish (Ore.) 25 June 1830, s. of Nils Gabriel Roth. inspector, and Anna Lisa Enhorning. In Knista Parish (Ore.). where the family had moved, Roth received an exit permit to 30 March 1848. On 3 May 1848 he enrolled in the Goteborg Hiring Hall (Goteborgs Sjomanshus) as a seaman on board a vessel destined for Brazil. He returned to Sweden, became a Swedish sea captain and perished in the Baltic 29 Dec. 1879. A Swedish Bible Inscription

The following inscription is to be found in a large family Bible, part of the collection of such Bibles at the American Swedish Institute in Minneapolis. No. ASI-40 consists of The Holy Scriptures (Den Heliga Skrift), published by A.L. Norman in Stockholm 1863. It has the following inscription on the flyleaf:

"Olof Sohlberg, born in Sorviken (Brunflo Parish, Jlimtland) 13 March 1823, the son of Olof Sohlberg, farmer, born in Valbacken (Lockne Parish, Jlimtland) 1784 and Lisbeth Pehrsdotter, born in Sorviken 1792. He was married to Ingrid, born in Od (Marie by Parish, Jlimtland) 24 March 1828, the da..ughter of Olof Pehrsson, a crofter, born in Od 31 Oct. 1799, and Lisa Stina Svensdotter, b. in Overbyn (Marieby Parish) IO Dec. 1804.

185 _\ \ When Andrew Jackson \ " Helped A Swedish(?) Tailor

In the library of the American Swedish Historical Museum in Philadelphia is an interesting autograph of Andrew Jackson ( 1767-1845), seventh president of the U.S., giving relief to a Swedish tailor in Washington, DC named Christian Eckloff. The year was 1833 and the tailor complained to the president that a clerk in the Department of State, James Gooch, had ordered a suit from him costing $64.50. When the clerk refused to pay, Eckloff sued, won a judgment, but Gooch claimed that he was bankrupt. Eckloff then sent the following letter to Jackson, ) dated 30 April 1833: \ "To the President of the United States

Sir

The Signer of this your Humble Servant, begs leave of you to Lend an ear to the Statement of a Case of mine against James Gooch \ a Clerk in the State Department, He came to my store Nov. 26 1831 and got measured for a Suit of Clothes Amounting to $ 64.50 for which he promised to pay me in 60 days, and his having the appearance of a Gentleman I took him to be one and let him have the articles on those terms. When the Sixty days expired I sent to him and he promised Farther until 11 or 12 Months expired and finding no other way of recovering my money I entered a Suit against him for \ which I received a Judgment after he entered the office when he took the Benefit of Insolvency, and having understood that your Highness had taken the steps for the benefit of Mechanics & Other Citizens of this place by removing or otherwise Making the Clerks pay their Honest debts and finding no other way of recovering my money I take this Liberty of requesting this great favour and hope It will not be in Vain as I have a Large family depending on me for Support and \,. Loosing this would rob them of their dues. 1

Resp[ ectfull]y "\ Your Humble & Obediant Servant Christian Eckloff'

President Jackson sprang into action and writing on the back of Eckloff's letter he penned the following note:

186 When Andrew Jackson Helped a Swedish Tailor

"Referred to the Sec. of State if on inquiry the fact stated be true, unless the clerk pays up the debt, let him be forthwith discharged. The Government w.ould become a party to such swindling provided it permittes its officers to become indebted for necessaries & not see that they paid their debts out of their salaries, honest men will pay their debts, dishonest, must not be employed by the Government. A.J.

This case is referred to Amos Kendall, Esq. and on ten dollars pr month being secured to Eckloff, Mr: Gooch to be continued in his office. A.J."

Note: The references to Christian Eckloffs being Swedish are rather sketchy. With the autograph in the Museum's collection is a printed description of the autograph, taken from the catalog, offering the item for sale for $55.00. There is no way of telling from which catalog or firm the autograph was purchased by the Museum. The description included the following information:

"Christian Eckloff was a Swedish tailor, who had much trade among the officers of the Washington Garrison as well as among the Clerks of the State and War Departments."

This statement was repeated by Nels Hokanson in his work on the Swedes in the Civil War1 and also quoted by Allan Kastrup in his work on Swedish America.2 Further research is necessary to prove Eckloffs nationality.

Correction

In the article "Swedes in the 1860 Census of Suffolk Co., MA" in the September 1990 issue of SAG an unfortunate omission occurred. In note 90 on page 125 an entire line inadvertently dropped out. The first two lines of that note should read:

"Though highly unlikely because of her age at this time (84 years) she may possibly be identical to Susanna Hall, b. in the Cathedral Parish in Goteborg 8 Oct. 1776. dau. of Richard Soderstrom, later Swedish consul in Boston and afterwards Swedish consul general in Philadelphia. and Susanna"

187 \ I Brodd-Jonas and Brodd-Marta: '\ \ Two Bishop Hill Colonists ~ Identified I \ I Erik Wiken* \ Brodd-J onas and Brodd-Marta were two followers of Erik Jansson in Bishop Hill, IL, who so far have been unidentified. They are to be found in both Swedish \ and American sources and the results of this research are presented here. Brodd-Jonas is said to have escorted Erik Jansson in the company with another person from Ovanaker Parish to the neighboring parish of Alfta (both of them in Gavleborg liin), in order to elude pursuers. 1 In the United States we meet Brodd-Jonas first in a letter from Otto Stenberg, dated New York 23 May 18472. After having discussed the crossing aboard the vessel New York, Stenberg relates, how immediately after the arrival in New York in March 1847, two of Erik Jansson's apostles came on board in order to lead the incoming passengers to the quarters assigned to an earlier group of arrived Janssonists, who, because of the winter weather, had had to remain in New York.

Here the two apostles carried on a reign of terror, according to Stenberg. The two \ were Anders Andersson3 from Torstuna Parish (Vast.) and a person whom \ Stenberg calls at times Brodd-Jonas, at other times Hansson. \ Next we meet Brodd-Jonas in a letter written by Anders Larsson4, dated I Chicago 1 Aug. 1850 and published in the newspaper Aftonbladet in Stockholm 2 Nov. 1850. Larsson relates that after the murder of Erik Jansson 13 May 1850, Fiskra-Anders5 and Brodd-J onas in addition to the widow of the sect leader, Anna Sophia, had taken over the leadership of the colony. At the end of the letter Anders 1 Larsson adds the news that Brodd-J onas now was dead, one of the first victims of I the cholera epidemic which had struck Bishop Hill. \ * * * ~ Per Niclas Lundquist, clergyman of the chapel at Maraker Mill in Soderala \ Parish (Gavl.), and who had been quite critical of Erik Jansson's activities in "\ Halsingland, tells of an unmarried woman from the Brodd area in Bollnas, who \ was an enthusiastic follower of Jansson, but he does not mention her name.6 Later I writers refer to her as Brodd-Marta.7

* Dr. Erik Wiken of Uppsala, Sweden, is a frequent contributor to SAG.

188 Brodd-Jonas and Brodd-Miirta

In the United States we first meet Brodd-Mlirta in Daniel Londberg's letter, dated Galesburg, IL 30 Oct. 1849.8 He writes here: "Hedin is alive and is married to someone called Brodd-Martha from Bollnlis." In the Henry County Marriage Records we learn that Nils Hedin married Marta Hanson (according to American practice the -son of the was used instead of the -dotter) 16 July 1848.9 From the Bishop Hill Register we learn that Nils Hedin's wife Marta was b. 1817. 10 * * * The information concerning these two discussed persons is rather sketchy, but from it we can deduce the following facts: Brodd-Jonas' patronymic was Hansson. Brodd-Marta had Hansdotter as her patronymic and she hailed from Bollnlis and was b. 1817. Brodd-Marta (Hansdotter from Bollnlis, b. 1817) cannot be anyone else but Margta, b. in Hamre, Bollnlis Parish (Gavl.) 18 May 1817, dau. Hans Jonsson and Kerstin Jansdotter. She received a passport in Gavle 27 June 1846 and is doubtless identical to Martha Ransdotter (sic!), 30 years old, who arr. in New York aboard the Wilhelmina 21 Sept. 1846. 11 The appellative Brodd- she shares with Brodd-Jonas (Hansson) and this fact would indicate that they were siblings. Brodd-Jonas is then Hans Jonsson's and Kerstin Jansdotter's oldest child, the s. Jonas, b. in Bollnlis 25 Aug. 1812, who emigr. from Ovanaker Parish 1846 where he had moved the year before and received a passport in Gavle 18 July 1846. He cannot with certainty be located on any of the extant passenger manifests, but he was present in New York, as mentioned above, when the vessel New York arr. in March 1847. Brodd- is tied to the local name of Broddlagret in Bollnlis Parish, the name of an area which belonged to Hamre village, from which the siblings came. Broddlagret area had its name from a soldier by the name of Brodde. 12 It should also be mentioned that in addition to the siblings Jonas and Marta, their mother, Kerstin Jansdotter, also emigrated with the permission of her husband, Hans Jonsson. She received a passport in Gavle 7 Oct. 1846 and arr. in New York in March 1847 aboard the vessel New York. 13 When her husband, Hans Jonsson d. in Bollnas 1856, it was recorded in the parish register that his wife in the United States probably was dead. In 1847 Marta's married twin sister, Christina Hansdotter, together with two children, but without her husband, Marten Olsson, emigrated. She received a passport in Glivle 16 June 1847. She was m. in Bishop Hill 1849 to Nils Gustaf Hallander (his second marriage). 14 In 1847 another child of Hans Jonsson and Kerstin Jansdotter emigrated, namely the son Jon Hansson, b. 1-1 Nov. 1814. He, like his sister, Christina, received a passport in Gavle 16 June 1847.

f Charles XII in America '\ In the fall of 1826 one of the earliest Swedish visitors to the United States, Carl August Gosselman, a Swedish naval officer, set out for Niagara Falls, in order to visit this famous natural wonder. 1 He journeyed from New York City to Albany via the Hudson River, then via the Erie Canal to Rochester, NY, and then \\. by stage coach to Lewiston, NY, a short distance from the Falls, \ In the morning he met his driver, a young brash American farmer, who in his \ newly-bought phaeton, was to take him to his final destination. In the course of the journey from Lewiston to Niagara Falls, the young American informed Gosselman that he had been chosen to play the lead role in a play about Charles XII of Sweden. When he learned that Gosselman was Swedish, his enthusiasm knew no bounds, and began querying his fare about Charles XII and how the Swedish warrior king was dressed. Gosselman, astounded to find a play about the l Swedish king about to be performed in rural America, did his best to supply the -, young man with the pertinent information, including helping to shear his long locks, so that he would be more in character with the Swedish king, who wore his \ hair short, without the customary periwig. Gosselman does not elaborate on the authorship of the play, which remains a ·1 mystery, since Planche's play, Charles XII of Sweden, was not written until 1828, I 2 1 two years later. \ \ 1Carl August Gosselman, Resa i norra Amerika. 1-11 (Nykllping 1835), I, pp. 175-180. 1' 2James Robinson Planch~.

200 What Happened to John Asplund 's New Collections?

Mrs. Joyce M. Scott of London, Ontario has called the editor's attention to a rare hymnody, New Collections, published in Baltimore, Maryland in 1793 by John Asplund, an early Baptist clergyman in America. Unfortunately there does not seem to be an extant copy of this rare work. It is not in the National Union Catalogue nor in the collections in the Library of Congress in Washington, DC. Asplund's work may possibly have been a tune book, or more likely, a hymnal without music. There are several references to it though, the most recent being in a bibiliography entitled American Sacred Music Imprints 1698-1810. 1 Thomas Baldwin ( 1753-1825) a Baptist clergyman, wrote a number of hymns, one of the best known being "From whence does this union rise," which for the first time appeared in Asplund's New Collections. 2 John Asplund is best known for his work on the Baptist congregations in America, Annual Register of the Baptist Denomination in North America; to the first of November, 1790. It was first published in 1791 but several editions appeared up to 1794. A reprint appeared in 1979, the joint effort of the Baptist Banner in Godlettsville, TN and the Church History Research and Archives in Lafayette, TN. Very little is known of John Asplund. In the preface to the reprinting of Asplund's Register there is a quotation from Robert Semple's History of the Baptists in Virginia, in which the author states the following - "John Asplund was a Swede by birth, but went to England in 1775 and served in the British Navy, from which having deserted, he came to North Carolina, where he joined the church in Ballard's Ridge, Chowan County. He soon afterwards removed to Southampton County (VA), where he was ordained. After extensive travels, chiefly on foot, for the purpose of obtaining the desired information, he published ( 1791-1794) the 'Baptist Register,' an invaluable work on the statistics of the Baptist denomination, at the above dates. He settled lastly in Maryland, and was drowned in 1807 attempting to cross Fishing Creek, Virginia in a canoe. ''3 Backlund in his history of the Swedish Baptists in America also cites Semple, but as well the brief biography of John Asplund which appeared in John B. Taylor's Lives of Virginia Baptist Ministers. Taylor says that Asplund's early life was spent in business, that he worked in England as a bookkeeper before shipping out as a sailor, and that he traveled extensively in Europe in 1786, visiting England, Denmark, Finland and his native Sweden. After the publication of this Register, according to Taylor, Asplund did not resume his preaching, but settled in Maryland, where he became engaged in the real estate business, in which he suffered financial reverses.4

201 Swedish American Genealogist

There seems to be no trace of Asplund's New Collections. If any reader of SAG could offer a clue as to the whereabouts of a copy of his hymnody, we would be in a better position to evaluate his career in 18th century America.
