Jørgen Olsen (Lucken) Family (#119 thru #123A) after arriving in Quebec the family made their way to Mower County, Austin, MN. Their farm was about 5 miles north of Austin, MN. At the age of 59.5 years Jøger died from an accident 29 Aug 1876. The family attended the Red Oak Grove Lutheran Church about 8 miles north of Austin, MN and I presume he was buried in the Red Oak Grove Cemetery. He obtained the property by applying for a land grant. He apparently had two sons named Ole. My 2nd great grandfather was the first Ole and went with the surname of Lucken. He was not listed as a passenger on this ship indicating that he may have come at an earlier or later time The second oldest was his sister Marit (aka Martha Løkken Shaw) she and Hans Shaw had Johan, Emma and Jorgine. Marit passed on at age 24 yrs, Tosten died at age 17 yrs. Ole (the younger) at age 20 yrs. Ole my second great grandfather was a wagon maker in Northwood, Iowa making his home and raising his family there. He died at the age of 90 yrs. (23 Jan 1940) and is buried in the Crystal Lake Cemetery, Hennipin County, MN
