Sofia Petersdotter was born on February 17, 1838 in Effsborgs-Lan, Sweden to Petrus Carlsson (1802-1886) and Catharina Zachrisdotter (1802-1882). Sofia had a possible twin sister and was the third or fourth child of five:
- Johan Marten Petersson (1834-1834)
- Josepha Petersdotter (1835-1861)
- Augusta Petersdotter (1838-?)
- Johanna Maria Carlson (1843-1913)
Sofia was possibly married three times. Her first marriage was to Solomon Johansson (1838-1865) on December 29, 1862 and they had one child:
- John Martin (1863-1937). He may of taken Sofia's second or third husband's last name.
I also have Sofia married to a Anders Petter Hultman (1828-1894).
The marriage that I am descended from is Sofia's marriage to Johan August Quist (1839-1901). They had five children:
- Selma
- Solomon Anskarius (1870-1882)
- Clara Wilhelmina (1873-1926) my 2nd great grandmother
- Anna Teresia (1878-1945)
- Frank (1883-?)
Sofia departed from Sweden in 1882.
Sofia died on March 21, 1891 at age 53. Sofia is buried at Elmwood Cemetery in Sycamore, Illinois.
