William August Hendricksson ⁵⁷⁰⁹

  Research Notes:

NOTE: As of 5 May 2017, I have no direct evidence that the information William Hendrickson is the son of Michael and Helja Hendrickson. This is probably right, but I need to find more collaborative evidence. None of the family trees on Ancestry.com have this link. I found the likely link, by using the search of 'archives.com' that had him linked to the 1900 US Census.

1. From: Manuel Aguilar Henriksson "Antnentafel Report", received 31 Mar 2019

- records William August Hendrickson birth/death and his marriage; no children are noted

Collaborative Evidence of family relationship

Location of birth is interesting: sister (Emma) was born in 1866 in MN; the family must of spent sometime in Dekalb, Illinois, perhaps from about 1863 to the summer or fall of 1865. What did they do there? Why did they leave? Dekalb is about 100 kms west from Chicago

2. findagrave, id 93097444: William August Hendrickson, born 16 Jul 1865, IL, died, 3 Apr 1939
- above information; Anna died, 28 Jul 1937

MN death reference # 1939-MN-003790 (doesn't give birth date)

3. MOMs; Douglas Co, C - 484; 8 Nov 1885, married to Anna Blom;

4. Birth, Jul 1864; But Findagrave and Manuel Aguilar Henriksson record birth as 16 Jul 1865
from 1900 US and from 1880 US

  Noted events in his life were:

1. Residence, 1900, 1 Jun 1900, Solem Twp, Douglas Co, Minnesota, United States. ⁶⁸⁷⁰ Head of household is Mathias Bloom age 51 born in Sweden, blacksmith. William (indexed as Adrian) Hendrickson born Jul 1864 in Illinois (parents born in Sweden), as brother in law, farmer; Annie Hendrickson born Oct 1861 born in Sweden. Bother William and Annie married for 15 years, 1885.

The accuracy of this 1900 US Federal Census is probable or convincing. Howerer this is no direct evidence that William Henrikson is the son of Michael and Helja Hendrickson.

2. Residence, 1920 and 1930, 1920-1930, Alexandria, Douglas Co, Minnesota, United States. Both the 1920 and the 1930 US Federal Census record William and Annie (Anna) as living in town of Alexandria in Douglas Co. In the 1900 Census, Annie (Anna) is recorded as the mother of no children. I have not found them recorded in the 1910 US Census in Douglas Co; however William C Hendrickson and wife Anna married for 24 years (1885-1886) living in St Paul, Ramsey Co, MN [Ed 143, sheet, 5B, dw 87]. Other records have not recorded a middle name or initial, other than the 1880 US that records the name as August V Hendrickson. This is likely them, but I'm not very certain

3. Uncertain death - 1939, 3 Apr 1939, Douglas Co, Minnesota, United States. ⁶⁸⁷² The findagrave tombstone and post records birth as 16 Jul 1865 [?] and references the 1900 US Census. Burial is at Wennersborg Cemetery in Kensington, Douglas Co.

This record however, does not provide any direct evidence that this William Hendrickson is the son of Michael and Helja Hendrickson.

William married Anna Bloom on 11 Aug 1885 in Douglas Co, Minnesota, United States ⁶⁸⁷⁰.^,6871 (Anna Bloom was born in Oct 1861 in Sweden,⁶⁸⁷⁰ died on 28 Jul 1937 in Douglas Co, Minnesota, United States ⁶⁸⁷² and was buried in Wennersborg Cemetery, Kensington, Douglas Co, Minnesota, United States.)
