John Bollman

   Another name for John was Jöns Andersson Bollman.

  Research Notes:

Summary: Jöns was known as John in the US. It appears that he continued to live on and farm the land that his father had first homesteaded in Stockholm Twp, Wright Co, Minnesota. He 1882 he married Lena Hendrickson. They had 6 children, 4 boys and 2 girls, and would have had a number of grandchildren and great grandchildren - I have not reseached his descendants in detail (see their research notes). I have not found specific information, but sometime in his 60's (1915 or so), John experienced mental issues and was hospitalized at St Peter, MN. It appears that he died at the hospital in 1931 at the age of 77.

her parents as John Hendrickson and Kjerstin Olsdatter - but no dates of birth etc
[John's father: Anders Svensson Bollman, 1824-1866]

There are a few family trees [FTs] that record similiar information - see research notes for
Anders Svensson Bollman: I have listed a number FTs. Many record her parents names, but do not record birth or
death dates, and thus, there is little collaborating evidence
