Note: From Hans Peter Lund's journal, curate for the John R Young Company of pioneers and independent wagons in 1863:
Aug 6 at noon we rested in a forest, passed Fort Larami[e], camped near Platte, drove 16 miles. 2 waggons drove to Fort Larami[e] and did some errands, the sisters washed and baked and we had nice weather, drove 5 miles and camped near Platte,
Aug 8 we came to some high mountains, bad roads, drove 16 miles and camped near a forest, it was far from water and we had to take the oxen 2 miles to the river and to the grass on the other side.
Sunday Aug 9 drove 10 miles in the morning, met cap. Sanders company. They had rested for 1½ day, it was so nice to meet again, we camped near Platte and had a gathering. Str. Marie Larsen from Copenhagen gave birth to a daughter.[1]
Anna Marie also known as Anna Marie. No one is really quite sure which was her real given name. She was born in a covered wagon in an emigrant train, on the Mormon trail between Omaha, Nebraska and Salt Lake City, Utah.
Note: MARRIAGE: There are two different marriage dates for Hans Jensen and Maren Larsdatter: 2 May 1853 in Hillerod parish, Denmark, and 22 May 1857 in Vejby parish, Denmark. There is little doubt that they are both the same couple because the ages correlate. There are some family records that list the first marriage as taking place in March, but that is a probably a misinterpretation of the clerk's script "Mai" for May.
