Peter and Mary Lorenzen 1880 - Clinton, Iowa
Peter Lorenzen was listed as a 25 year old male from Schleswig in the 1880 U.S.Census.His wife was listed as only Mary from Sweden.Their children were (1) Belena a daughter, who in 1880 was 5 years old and was born in Schleswig and (2) Charles a son who was 2 years old in 1880 and was born in the United States.This family settled in the Clinton, Iowa area.Charles, is my grandfather.He migrated to the Valley Springs, South Dakota area where he raised his family.Clayton, the 6th of 7 children, was my father.Does anyone know details of Schleswig connections to Charles, or his wife Mary or their brothers/sisters; and, does anyone know the history of Belena Lorenzen, the child who was 5 in 1880 in Clinton, Iowa?Dwight Lorenzen
