Hans Jensen 1

  • Born: 31 Jan 1858, Asaae, Dronninglund Sogn (Brønderslev), Nordjylland, Denmark 2
  • Christened: 28 May 1858, Dronninglund Kirke, Dronninglund, (Hjørring), Nordjylland, Denmark

   Another name for Hans was Hans Jorgensen.

  General Notes:

As the story goes, fled to Pacific Northwest because of a murder charge, along with his brother Chris. From a letter by Donald Johnson, son of Marine Johnson, 8/17/1972: "There is another family legend that I hope to trace in respect to either Uncle Hans or Uncle Chris. The legend is that one of them killed a man when they were immigrants in Kankakee [Illinois], then took off before he could be thrown in the Bastille and lived the rest of his life on the 'lam' so to speak. My father [Marine] and Anthony finally traced these two of their brothers to Eugene, Oregon but Anthony probably knew all the time where they were but wasn't talking."

  Birth Notes:

Son of small farmer Jens Christian Jensen and Ane Cathrine Hansdatter.
