Notes for MORTEN KLEVEN (MARTIN) RASMUSSEN: 1880 census-Hustisford Township, Dodge Co, page 225 From Jessie Hislop: I don't if any or all of you had previously found the entry in the Christiana emigrants' register on the Norwegian digitalarchivet: http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe for Morton Rasmussen's family leaving Norwary. It seems like the oldest sons had left earlier and I haven't really found them yet--I couldn't find an Amund at all and there are two possibilities below for Hans. I also found interesting was that their fares were paid in America--presumably by Hans & Amund or where there other relatives ? Prot. no. / Year / Page no. / Line no. /Serial no. /New family gr.

She arrived at New York on August 20th or 21st, 45 days after leaving Norway. The passenger list is dated August 22nd. She was mastered by Capt. Krog. The voyage is mentioned in an old letter (A04890) that is held by the Norwegian Emigration Museum at Hamar. The writer tells that they bought their passage from Consul "Briern" in Kragerr. The voyage is also mentioned in "A Family History" by Selma S. Casberg,
printed by Crescent Printing Co., Inc., 1416 Caledonia, LaCrosse, WI
54601: "Torger Nilsen Revoldsrud, his wife, and eight children emigrated
on the PrFciosa, and landed in New York on August 21, 1845, 45 days after
leaving Norway. The ship carried some iron and 94 steerage passengers. The
captain of the ship was named Krug." From New York the PrFciosa left for
Madeira with a load of planks, corn and flour. 1850 -listed of member of St Lukes 1857-Torsten Rasmussen listed as taxpayer in New Hope. Question...Was Tosten merely a investor/landowner? His brother John, immigrated in 1854, had a farm in New Hope for many
years. See 1860 census. Tosten's wife, Marit's family moved to New
Hope/Waupaca area in 1855. Owned farm on Evergreen Road in Dodge Co. later owned by Gordon
Peterson, his g-grandson. WI CENSUS 1860, 1880, Pine Lake Lutheran Church Records. St. Lukes Cemetery, Ixonia. Jessie Hislop: In your family notes it mentions that Torsten had a
brother named Matt--he actually had a brother named Morton who used Martin
in the states and you'll see that they initially settled in Hustisford Twp
of the same county in Wisconsin and then both moved onto different
locations. undated Map of Township of Lebanon-shows property of Tosten Rasmussen
on Evergreen Road. From Vesterheim's Blaine Hedberg Pine Lake Lutheran Church records which includes St. Lukes until 1866 we find the following births: Idda Randine, born Feb 13 1853 Tosten Rasmussen & Margit Pedersdatter. Vesterheim says St, Lukes records show "The death on May 6, 1891,
burial on May 11, 1891 of T. Rasmussen, age 70 years, 5 months, 23 days". GRAVES-ST.LUKE'S CEMETERY One large stone engraved with "Rasmusen" (sp) Two smaller stones in front: Nearby headstones....

They lived in Jefferson Co, from 1848 to 1855. Marit probably married
Tosten Rasmussen around 1850, their first child born 1851. 1831-Marith Pedersdatter Lillelien, dau of Peder Torstensen and Anne
Johansdatter. Ostre Gausdal, Oppland church records: Birth Dec 21 1831,
Baptism, Jan 8, 1832. From Blaine Hedberg: The age given for Margit Pedersdatter in the St.
Luke's death records suggests a birth about 1831. Returning to the Ostre
Gausdal, Oppland church records we find the birth on December 21, 1831,
baptism on January 8, 1832 of Marith Pedersdatter Lillelien, daughter of
Peder Torstensen and Anne Johansdatter. St. Lukes: The death on July 25, 1895, burial on July 27, 1895 of
