Paul Johnson

Dear All. For years now I have been trying to track down what happened to this family and have had no luck. The only record I show of this family was in the 1875 Minnesota State Census for Rice county, Faribault, Minnesota page 206 on Ancestry.com. Family in 1875 Paul Johnson age 40 Annie Jonson was listed as age 26 she was born 12-18-1848 in Nord Trondelag. daughter of Josias Børaas and Ingeborg. Emma Johnson born 2-9-1872 birth records from Valley Grove Lutheran Ingeborg born 8-11-1873. birth records from Valley Grove Lutheran there was another child born 1-26-1876 name of Anne Carolina (emilia or lena?). This was from a birth record from Zion Lutheran Church All children were born in Minnesota but according to family history the widow (Mrs Paul Johnson) was living in Iowa in the early 1900's. I believe Paul Johnson may have died on 11-22-1876 in Faribault, Minnesota according to an entry in the Dalby Data base but I cannot be sure. There is no record of any of these people in subsequent censuses... I have contacted descendants of Annie Johnson's brothers and sister but nobody knows anything about her. Perhaps if we found more information on Paul Johnson? But I have very little to go on. The only other hint is in 1875 also in the household is Jacob Nelson age 30 and Thomas Johnson age 20. I wonder if he is related to Paul Johnson? Perhpas if we found out more about Paul Johnson we could learn more about what happened to him and the rest of his family. thank you.
