JEFFERSON COUNTY HISTORY
Settlement and History of Lockridge Township
The first Swedish immigrants who came to the western states stopped and settled in Lockridge Township in 1845. They were Peter Cassel, his wife Catherine, three sons, Carl J., Andrew F., and Gust, who died in the army; two daughters, Matilda and Carrie; John Danielson, his wife, Elizabeth, three sons, John A., Victor and Frank O., and two daughters Maria and Matilda; John Monson, his wife, Carrie, three daughters, Caroline, Mary and Louise; Peter Anderson, his wife, Christine, and two children; Erick P. Anderson and his sister, now Mrs. Castile, in all twenty-five. They all started from the same neighborhood in Sweden, but at New York met with Peter Dahlburg and family and, after a few days’ stop, decided to start for the new territory of Iowa.
