Marens entire family (father, mother and siblings) changed their last name from Knudsen to Emmertsen between 1860 and 1870, due to the change in the name law some years earlier, canceling the previous patronymous last names.
In the US, Maren was known as Mary Mires nee Emmertson.

Maren Knudsen was entered as a foster daughter. She was 11 years old and no foster daughter. Her age seems incorrect, as she was born in 1860.
Maria Emmertsen, also 11, was correctly entered as a daughter, it is likely Kirsten Marie Emmertsen b. 2 Apr. 1864.
Jens Peter Emmertsen was 19, entered as a son.
Johanne Emmertsen, 47, was entered as a wife.
Knud Emmertsen, also 47, was entered as a farm owner.
(A big thanks to Shauna C. Anderson for this info).

Knud and Johanne Marie’s son, Emmert Emmertsen moved to Utah the next year, as he departed for England aboard the bark “Argo” on 21 June 1877. He was unmarried at the time.

- Marriage: On 27 June 1885 in Lehi, Utah, USA, Maren married William Henry Mires [11251], b. 25 January 1856 in Cleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio, d. 28 June 1931 in Malad City, Oneida, Idaho. It is stated that she married a Oscar Kilburg in 1881 in Nr. Vissing. It seems to be untrue, as she emigrated to Utah in 1876, and there is no mention of it in the regular church books for Veng parish, Skanderborg county. It may have happened in the US though. I don’t know.
