52 Ancestors Challenge Week #34 - Sofia Petersdotter

Sofia is my 3rd great grandmother


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:
Sofia departed from Sweden in 1882.

Sofia died on March 21, 1891 at age 53.  Sofia is buried at Elmwood Cemetery in Sycamore, Illinois.
