Biography

Jöns Nilsson, later known as Jens Nelson in America, and still later as John Nelson, was born in Svalöv parish October 19, 1840, the fourth of six children born to Nils Mårtensson and Maria Persdotter. At the time Jöns was born, his father Nils was working as dräng (farmhand).

One year later, the family moved to Tarstad, in Tirup parish, just 5 kilometers to the west. Jöns’ father Nils was now a husman (a farmworker who may have owned his own house). Jöns was only five years old when his father died of tuberculosis, leaving a wife, five young children, and another on the way. Jöns’ mother was listed as utfattig (too poor to owe taxes) in the church records, and one by one, the children moved away to work elsewhere once they reached their teens.

In Sweden during this time period, it was customary for teenagers of the peasant class to leave home to work as a servant or farmhand. The traditional moving date was about November 1, after the harvest, and the period of service would typically last one year, or perhaps more, before moving to another farm. Jöns’ life followed this pattern.

Jöns moved away at the age of sixteen in 1856 to become a dräng (farmhand) in the Billeberga parish, 6 kilometers to the southwest of Tarstad. Jöns worked at about 5 or 6 different farms, for one year each, in the Billeberga parish between 1856–1862. In 1862, Jöns moved from Billeberga parish to the farming community of Brödåkra No. 1 in Sireköpinge parish, and married Hanna Johansdotter.

Jöns Nilsson moved from Billeberga parish on October 15, 1862 to Brödåkra No. 1. One month later, he married Hanna Johansdotter. He was listed as a dräng (which in the context of a marriage record means “unmarried man”) from Billeberga parish, and Hanna was a piga from Brödåkra (the word piga means “unmarried woman” in the context of a marriage record). Jöns became a torpare (tenant farmer) in Brödåkra, and the two had four children together at Brödåkra in the Sireköpinge parish.

Jöns’ economic situation appears to have degraded as the years went by, and by 1873 he was no longer a torpare, but rather a husman. Like a torpare, he may have owned his house and rented his land, but unlike a torpare, he probably worked as a farmworker on someone else’s farm in order to support his family. Moreover, his residence is listed as a Gths, an abbreviation for Gatehus (pronounced with three syllables), a older house along a street (gata), with residents who are usually of a rather low socioeconomic status.

Jöns Nilsson emigrated from Sweden in the fall of 1880. He traveled from the Swedish port Malmö to New York, by way of Hamburg, Germany, then by steamship to Hull, England, and overland to Liverpool. Once in America, he settled in Blair, Nebraska.

Jöns was not the first in the family to settle in Blair—Hanna’s older brother Måns Johansson had immigrated to Blair in 1865 where he obtained a farm.

The following spring, May 1881, Hanna and the four children, as well as Hanna’s orphaned niece Anna Andersdotter (the daughter of Hanna’s late sister Kjersti) and Hanna’s brother Bengt and his family, immigrated to Blair, Nebraska.

Jöns Nilsson became known as Jens Nelson (using the Danish spelling of his first name, and Americanizing his last name), and he became a farmer, owning his own farm.

    See Swedish Wikipedia artilcle on "husman"
    https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Husman
    Rough summary in English: a husman owned his house but rented his land. The yearly rent might have been paid in the form of a certain number of days' labor. The land would have consisted of the plot the house was on and possibly a pasture and small field on which the husman could raise some food. He would not have enough land to support himself by farming; instead, he would have supported himself by work as a craftsman or a farmworker.
