    I would like to contribute some information about my ancestors, Abraham Swenson and Swan Peterson who both arrived on the Charles Tottie 12 July 1849. Abraham Swenson, as he liked to be called in America, is listed here as Abraham Swanson (1849.013). His family was: wife, Anna Maria Hakansdotter (1849.014) and his two daughters, Brita Lisa (Eliza) (1849.015) and Anna Lovisa (Louisa) (1849.016). Swan Peter Peterson (10237), my GG Grandfather, also came on the Charles Tottie on 12 July 1849. Olsson misidentified Swan as "Leon" (p.160), but you can find him on the original ship list (#51) and it is definitely "Swan" not "Leon." (I've never heard of a Swede called Leon!) Swan married Eliza on Christmas Day 1849 and in 1857 the whole extended family (along with some other Chandler Valley Swedes) moved to Vasa, Minnesota.

      Do you know what minister married Swan and Brita Lisa?

    Thanks. I've update the passenger listing for the CHARLES TOTTIE to include Swan Peterson who is now listed as (1849.048) rather than (i0237).

    The transcription of Olsson likely should have noted Swen or Sven. It is common in this period for the L's and S's to be indistinguishable and on this manifest they certainly were. Leonhard (Leon.) while unusual was not so uncommon during this period in Sweden (there was a trend towards more Germanic sounding names).

    I would like to contribute some information about Mrs. A.G. Anderson according to an account by her granddaughter Mildred (Sundstrom) Peterson in my family records:

    Carolina (Nelson) Anderson was born March 29, 1837 in Kisa Parish, Ostergotland, Sweden. When she was three weeks old her mother died of diptheria. Her father, John Nelson later remarried. In 1849 at the age of 12, she came with her father, stepmother, an uncle, an aunt, and three cousins to America (Frank Nelson from Pennsylvania, was one of the cousins.)

    There was another immigrant ship that left Sweden at the same time. Each day they watched the other ship. One night there was a bad storm and they heard a terrible crash. The next day the other ship was nowhere to be seen and they never heard of it, nor any of the immigrants aboard.

    After a six weeks voyage they landed in New York. When they landed their Captain was taken prisoner for having an overloaded boat.

    An epidemic of cholera was raging in New York, so all were kept on ship three days after they landed. They were with a party of immigrants that let New York City traveling down the canal to Buffalo. Of the 300 immigrants, only 12 remained alive. The uncle being one who died of cholera.

    Carolina married A.G.(Gustav) Anderson on December 13, 1855 in Sugargrove, Pennsylvania. Moved to Vasa, MN in 1862 and to Swea Iowa in 1872.

      Mrs. A.G. Anderson [1849.050] arrived aboard the Swedish brig Charles Tottie that left Göteborg about 18 May 1849.
      Onboard were her father John Nelson [1849.011] and
      his second wife Brita Stina Pehrsdotter [1849.012] who was pregnant, she gave birth in August to Martha, her
      uncle Jacob Nilsson [1849.001 added note that he died of cholera] and his wife/her
      aunt Lena Jonsdotter [1849.002] who would remarry Lars Lawson [1849.020], plus
      cousin Carolina Albertina Jacobsdotter [1849.004]
      cousin Nils Johan Jacobsson [1849.003]
      cousin Frank Peterson [? uncertain if he was also onboard or if he arrived later]

      The only other ship to leave port with emigrants at about the same date was the MINONA, also loaded with iron and emigrants. That ship left Göteborg on 14 May bound for Boston and made port safely 12 July 1849.

      I found no news in Sweden that Capt. Nicholas Beckman that he was detained.

      Also, no news of the storm. When the MINONA returned to Göteborg the note was simply (trans.) "Brig. Minona, Capt. C.L.Lundgren, sailed from here last May 12th to Boston loaded with iron and 65 passengers, who on the journey were multiplied by 3 children born, and returned to this port on August 5th, after 25 days of travel arriving at Gothenburg on 9 August. 1849."

    Could the C. J. Peterson listed as Manifest No: 87 on the BRØDRENE arriving 17 August BRØDRENE1849 in New York City from Göteborg, be a Johan Carl Peterson Born in Arendal, Norway in 1829?

    ReplyDelete
  5. John Everett JonesMarch 16, 2020 at 9:07 AM

    Nils William Olsson identified the C.J. Peterson on the BRØDRENE as Charles J. Peterson [1849.027 and Olsson & Erik Wikén reference No. 3128]. This voyage of the ship was filled with Swedish emigrants only.

    Charles J. Peterson settled first in Sugar Grove and then in 1852 moved to Andover, Henry County, Illinois where he died in 1894.
