The following family history of the family of Hans Jacobsen and Marit Nilsdatter, including son Jacob Hanson was prepared by the granddaughter of Jacob Hanson, Mrs. Muriel Scott, of Swan River, Manitoba, and sent to James Clinton Anderson of Kelowna B.C. Canada, on April 16, 1985.

"Our Hanson ancestors came from Kristian County, Norway. My grandfather , Jacob Hanson's people, lived in Sondre Land farming Bjorlien farm, Schieslien farm and lastly Engelien farm where grandfather was born on January 30, 1849.
His father was, Hans Jacobson, born 1817 at Schieslien farm. Hans married Marit Nilsdatter on December 23, 1839 at Fluberg Parish in Sondre Land. They had six children, Marte born February 12, 1940, Hans Christian born May 16, 1842, Nikolina born January 1, 1845, Jacob (my grandfather) born January 30, 1849, Kristian born February 14, 1851 and Martin born November 26, 1853.
The need for security caused them all to come to America where homesteads were available. They came to Wisconsin and worked for some time. Church records state that Jacob and Martin resigned the church in Norway in 1871 and left for America. All six of them came to Wisconsin living near La Crosse and Ettrick.
Hans Christian came in 1872 followed by his wife Mathia and six year old daughter, Mathia, in 1874. I don't know when brother, Kristian and sister Marte, and sister Nikolina with her baby girl, Mathilda, arrived but the two sisters stayed permanently near La Crosse, Wisconsin. They were widows but both remarried. Marte became Mrs. Johnson and Nikolina's second marriage was Lars Larson. They were happy and content in the new land. Mathilda married a Torgeson and Oscar and Alfred were their children. After the death of her first husband Nikolina's daughter, Mathilda married Chris Moe and they lived north of Ketchen, Saskatchewan.
All the brothers and sisters of grandfather, Jacob, were married. Jacob married Caroline Ellingson at the French Creek Lutheran Church near Ettrick, Wisconsin, on March 5, 1880. You can go to this church and see the records signed by Jacob and Caroline over a hundred years ago!
Caroline Ellingson born October 21, 1862, Ringsaker Parish, Norway (see letter).
Jacob and Caroline went west to Hillsboro, North Dakota where they farmed and here their children were born. They were Martin born 1881, Elling born 1882, Gusta Marie( my mother) born 1883, Christine born 1887, and Joseph born 1890.
Jacob's brother , Kristian, and his large family also farmed at Hillsboro, Kristian had nine sons and one daughter.
Both these families came to Canada and stayed in Saskatchewan. Jacob at Preeceville and Kristian at Nut Lake, near Archerville.
Hans Christian and his wife lived mostly in Wisconsin, only briefly farming near Lady Lake (Astwood P.O. ). Some of their children came to Canada but only Chris Hanson and family stayed. Nellie, Chris Hanson's wife, was a daughter of Nikolina and Lars Larson. Hans Christian and Mathia lost many of their children during an epidemic. Only Mathia, Anton, Christian and Magnus reached adulthood. Even then Anton died at age twenty.
Magnus and family lived in Saskatchewan for awhile. I remember them living on the Raglan farm about a mile north of Joseph Hanson's land.
Nikolina and Lar's two sons, Robert and Martin Larson, came to Canada. Martin Larson, his wife Mulla and their children, farmed west of Sturgis, Saskatchewan.
I must tell you the little I know about Jacob's brother, Martin. He must have married before Jacob because the 1880 census of Wisconsin states he, at that time, had a wife named Sarah and that they had a two year old daughter, Mary.
Jacob's sister, Marte's only child had no children."
