Samuel S Lee or Lie Family

Looking for someone to help me find my GG Grandfather's family in Norway or Minnesota. Samuel S Lee born May 4,1868 Norway--not sure where (poss born 1858 according to one U.S. Census-but I think it's an error) Came to the U.S. in June of 1878 arriving in New York. 1878-1894 Unknown where he lived. Cannot find him on any Census, but maybe his name wasn't "Lee"?? 1894 Married Olava Thompson (Gulickson) Ashby, MN 1907-1910 Lived White Earth, North Dakota 1910 moved to Saskatchewan Canada 1926 Moved to Alberta, Canada I thought that the middle initial "S" might be the start of his last name as I am told that Lee is likely a farm name "Lie". If anyone is able to help I would appreciate any suggestions. I have a lot more info on his children if needed. Thanks
