Jon Jönsson b 18 Jan 1825

  Noted events in her life were:

1. Death - uncertain: Uncertain death, Between 1870 and 1880, Wright Co, Minnesota, United States. I have not found a record of her death. Additionally, I have not found her in the 1870 or 1880 US Census or the 1875 MN State Census.

The only Family Tree on Ancestry that indicates a date of death is the "Moody FT" that references the notation from the Östmark parish household records (AI:27, 1786-1800, page 35) - Maria's sister, Kerstin Persdotter, had "confirmed" Maria's death in North America.

2. Emigration - 1870: Leaving for North America, 2 May 1870, Östmark, Värmland län, Sweden. ^9334,9335 Leaving Östmark parish. Maria's son, Per (b 1858) left in 1867 with Maria's brother Olof Persson (b 1842) and family.

Jon Jönsson (b 1825) and Maria/Maja Persdotter (21 Jan 1829), daughter Gertrud (b 1855), son Jöns (b 1861) and Marie (b 1865), leave Östmark parish on 2 May 1870.
