Here are some updates on questions I have posted earlier about Peter Tollefson. I named three unknown people who were listed on historical documents connected with Peter; Ginder? Benson, J.N. Blexrud, and Sans S. Sennig/Senmg?.
Gunder Benson is listed on the 1885 Minnesota Census as the following entry to the Tollefson's. On the 1900 Census he is listed as to have immigrated to the US in 1867 which is 10 years later than Peter.
It appears the J.N. Blexrud is actually G.N. Blexrud or George N. Blexrud. He is listed on the 1900 and 1905 Census as living in the adjacent township of Caledonia in Houston County.
The man who I thought was Sans. S Sennig is probably Lars L. Lenning who is the husband of Peter's wife's aunt. Considering he is also in the area at the time it is the correct person.
Even though these names have been discovered it does not present any obvious clues into the identity of Peter Tollefson.
