Henry Hendrickson 1838-1944

På vegne av en amerikaner som har kontaktet meg spør jeg om dette:

I have a lot of digging to do and my only notes on Henry Hendrickson are as follows:

The Hendricksons moved to Williamsburg about 1890 with their two sons, Daniel and Lew.

Soon after daughter Hannah's death in 1892 they sold the farm and moved away,

After his wife died, Grandpa Henry Hendrickson moved back to Norway.

Norma Edwards reported: Came to the USA with wife and one child named Dan then five years old. The father was a fisherman in Norway. Living in Iowa he was a well-to-do farmer; when he returned to Norway later he was considered wealthy there. The mother became ill with tuberculosis after Hannah had died at the age of fourteen of tuberculosis. The father and mother with Louie, age 8, toured Scotland and Norway hoping the change would benefit the health of the mother. They came back to Williamsburg where the mother died. She was buried in Pilot Grove Cemetery. The father went back to Norway, leaving the boy Louie; married a young woman there, resumed his fishing, had a son John and died there. Dan died a bachelor after doing many things including running Hotel Regina, Seattle, WA, and visiting Norway where he talked with John Hendrickson.

Henry died during the Nazi Invasion of WWII at the age of 106.

12-1-2006: Ports and Terminals from which Henry may have left Norway: Borg Havn, Bergen, Mo i Rana, Molde, Mongstad, Narvik, Oslo, Sture

Henry born: 1838 in Norway

Died: 1944 in Norway

I have no farm name information. Henry lived in Williamsburg, Iowa, where my Grandmother Helen or Ella Hendrickson was born in 1873.

Since you didn't provide the birth year of Daniel or the first name of Henry's wife, it was some searching in US before I could start searching in Norway. ;)

But I think I found them in Martoga, Iowa, Iowa in the 1880-census. In the census at FS he is called Daniel, and his sister Helen is 8 years there, not 18.

Martoga is also located in county Iowa as does Williamsburg.

Then, Daniel was born in Norway appr. 1869. Daniel's mother's first name was trickier though. In the 1865-census in Norway just 2 females were called Isabelle/Isabella born in the period 1840-1845. So that could be a woman Henry had married in the US, or she had changed her first name, which was not uncommon in that period.

I found the family in this emigration register for Stavanger. There Henry's wife's first name was Ingeborg Dorthea. :)

They went with the barque Hebe which left Stavanger May 17th 1870 and arrived at Quebec June 30th. They are no. 51-53 in this passenger list.
On this page, at the bottom, you will find a picture of the ship. And a small record of the voyage: In 1870 the bark Hebe departed from Stavanger 17, and arrived at arrived Quebec June 30. She was sailing in ballast, and was carrying 262 steerage passengers and 3 cabin passengers, all well at arrival. There was one birth on the voyage, on June 22nd, (son of Ole Henrichsen/Olsen[?] age 23 and Rakhel (27).) She was mastered by Capt. B. Hansen, and had a crew of 15. The passenger list was archived by the National Archives of Canada [NAC].

Henrik and Ingeborg Dorthea was married in Jelsa in 1868, no. 6.
On the right side of these pages you find them as no. 7 in the moving out-list.

The birth of Daniel is no. 76 on this page

In the 1865-census Henrik Henriksen was an unmarried lodger and probably staying at his brother's farm.

Volume 1 of Jelsa Gards- og ættesoga is published on the internet, and Henrik Henrikson is mentioned there; His father Henrik Anderson, but it isn't mentioned there that Henrik/Henry came back from the US.

I have checked the emigration protocols from Bergen, Trondheim and Oslo and haven't found someone with these names there. It is therefore probable that I have found the right people, but a death certificate of Henry's wife would perhaps give you her first name and also her birth date and year.

But you have now, hopefully, a farm in Rogaland where you can start more intensive research and try to locate Henry Hendrickson and his son John. :)
