Petrus is actually a branch off my Nachtigall side but shares a similar last name to my paternal side.
Petrus was born on 21 Sep 1802 in St. Hestra, Sweden to Carl Andersson (1782-?) and Kerstin Petersdotter (1782-?). Petrus married Catharina Zachrisdotter (1802-1882) on 31 Dec 1833. They had five children:
- Johan Marten (1834-1834)
- Josepha (1835-1861)
- Augusta (1838-?)
- Sofia (my 3rd great grandmother; 1838-1891)
- Johanna Mary (1843-1913)
All Petrus children would take the last name Petersson or Petersdotter upon arrival in the states.
Petrus died on 06 Jul 1886 at age 83 in St. Hestra, Sweden.
