Notes for Bengta (Bessy Johansdotter) Peterson:
Bengta Petersons name in Sweden would have been Johansdotter because her fathers name was Johan Petersson.
I have some records that show Bengta and and her brothers and sisters used the last name of Johansson after their parents died in 1869 & 1870. When Bengtas brother Johan August left Sweden he used the name of Johansson, but used Peterson in the USA.
The name changes stopped around 1900 and a law in 1902 made sure of that.
Before 1900 the people who lived in towns started using the fathers last name as theirs, while those who lived on farms continued the son dotter usage until about 1900. There was no rule so you find many families with different rules.
The other point is that many people who came to the USA from Sweden, changed their last name to their fathers last name to Americanize it.
In Sweden, Bengta and her family were living on Torp Söjet (small farm) under Häradsmäla (large farm) under the parish Härlunda.
The small farm may have been too small to support a family, but they lived there because Johan Petersson was a merchant
or store keeper in town.
In 1867 Bengt Andersson and his wife Justina Persdotter and their daughter Carolina moved onto this farm and lived there.

+ 49 iv. Emil Hobert, born Aug.27.1886; died Jun.12.1967.

51 i. Bessie Ruth4 Hobert, born Dec.22.1899.
