Andrew Peterson, age 58 b in Nor; real estate, $1500, personal $800

Michael Peterson, age 40 [abt 1830], carpenter; personal, $150
wife Mary, age 26 [about 1844] domestic servant

and then another 9 names of different people and seemingly under the same household, ie dw/fam 25

*** of course, Michael's age is off; and his wife with the given name of "Mary", but the age is close. This given name may be a mistake or for a short period, Johanna used the given name Mary.
But this record would fit with the above statement by Julie Clauson Boots ... that is, Mikkel and Johanna first stayed at his brother Andrew's.... Note: there is no name enumeration for the 1875 Iowa State Census
... if this 1870 Census record is correct, then it would seem that Michael and Mary [Mikkel and Johanna], had no children ... and thus supporting the possibility that Martin, Sigrud and Kari had died prior to 1 Jun 1870
