Searching for information regarding Ole (Olaf?) Johnson who emigrated from Denmark in 1866. Once the ship reached New York Harbor, it was quarantined for 6 wks. because of cholera. Daughter Annie was born on that ship. Shortly thereafter Mrs. Johnson (first name unknown) died. Ole Johnson, aged 49, is enumerated in 1870 census in Washington Twp., Story County, with daughter Christina (Mary Christina). In 1875, she married Robert Fowler Anderson. They moved out of Story County before 1885. Annie was adopted by Ursula Tanner and raised by her and her children Hester and Squire Tanner. The Tanners relocated to Norton County, Kansas. Any help great appreciated, especially for Ole Johnson. We were told the family farmed near Kelley.
Thank you.
