Research Notes

• According to the 1900 U.S. Census for Utica Township, Minnesota, Mary Ann and her husband Herman Burt are living next door to her father Andrew Peterson. ^[7]Andrew is listed as being 72 years of age, born in July 1837 at Sweden. He emigrated in 1854 and his occupation is listed as Farming. His wife's name, however, is Katherine, 64 years of age, born Jan 1836 at Germany. She emigrated in 1849. They are listed as being married for 30 years. They have one son listed John, 23 years of age, born Jan 1877 at Minnesota.
• This suggests that Katherine is Andrew's second wife. He married his first wife, Nancy Ramer on 3 March 1861 ^[8]His first wife, Nancy Ramer would have died before 1870.
