Jens (Yans) Canuteson from Stavenger Norway b: ab

Hi, I am looking to confirm what I recently found. I don’t know if possible with what little info I have. Ole Baker’s wife Julia Canuteson was born here in the USA LaSalle Co., I confirmed yesterday that Jens Canuteson was her father born in Norway. He was born abt 1817 In Stavenger Norway. Jen’s had brother’s Halvor Ole -- Tombstone here for Ole says he was born in 1807 Canute 1.)Would like to know who the parents of these boys were. 2.)If the year of exit from Norway could be found. I found this info on who I believe to be Halvor’s son. CANUTESON, Ole A. TX 30th Cav Co C. CSA. Residence: Norse, Texas. Born Born “Ole Andreas Knudsen” on 29 Apr 1834 in Kendall County, Illinois, of parents from Stavanger, Norway. Civil War: Enlisted for three years or the war on 1 Jul 1862 at Waco, Texas. Private. He was sick in hospital at Houston, Texas, from 26 May to 31 May 1863. Post war: Died 15 Jan 1920 in Bosque County, Texas. Sources: ("Norwegian Soldiers in Confederate Forces" by C.A. Clausen & Derwood Johnson, publ. in Norwegian-American Studies, volume 25, Northfield, Minnesota. p114) (Ulvestad p303) (www.borgerkrigen.info) "Ole A. Knudsen". I believe Kendall Co., IL is wrong. Should be Kendall, NY. The census records I find list NY as place of birth. Thanks, Jodie
