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.
      Maren and William had 8 children:

He was born 31 December 1884 in Ogden, Weber, Utah, d. 30 December 1961 ibid. After Ruby died in 1916, Robert married Lois Maud Newey (Keeter Purdie) [11352], b. 25 March 1892 in Ogden, Weber, UT, d. 3 October 1985 ibid. She was a daughter of Thomas Newey and Lois Maud Wright Newey who had 15 children: Lois Maud, Etta May, Thomas Leland, Luella, Joseph LeRoy, George Leslie, Violet Loretta, Cecil Ray, Charles Henry, Floyd Otto, Anna, Delbert Wright, Emma Jane, Inez, and Edna.
