Moore; and 4 sons George (Tillie), Theodore, Christopher (Elvina), and Laurence (Elma) Peterson.
From Karen Callahan, a Great Granddaughter of Jens and Christina Peterson To explain the different spellings of the last name: The sons in the family use the spelling of Peterson and the daughters used the spelling of Petersen. It is unknown why they did this, as "sen" is the usual Danish spelling.
