- Christen Christensen was born 9/10 1837 to Glazier Christen Christensen Fuglsang and Ane Cathrine Andersen in Åsted Parish, Hjørring County Denmark. The Parish birth record says the 10th but all other records say the 9th. (FHC#048932). He was christened by church Priest Andreas Jørgen Bendtsen. The witnesses were: Ane Kistine Christensen of Åsted (the father's ½ sister), Christen Pedersen of Norre Fuglsang (the father's father), Christen Christensen of ??? Lendum Parish, Jens Christen Andersen of Heedeas. Christen is the oldest of five children. See the Biography of Christen Christensen 1812 for information regarding where Christen (1837) lived prior to his moving from Elling Parish to Flade Parish in 1856. Christen lived with his parents until he was 19. In 1856 Christen moved from Elling Parish to Flade Parish. Christen moved from Tversted Parish to Elling Parish July 11, 1859 (FHC#048999 pg 479 #11). He lived at Kragskov Hede in Elling Parish. He was 22 years old. Christen's wife to be, Else Marie (pronounced Elsa Maria) Christensen, moved to Elling Parish from Mårberg Parish July 16, 1860. Else Marie was born January 28, 1841 to Christen Nielsen and Ane Madsen in Bredmose Nyemark, Lendum Parish, Hjørring County Denmark. (FHC#049158 pg 140 #3). Christen and Else Marie was married October 11, 1860 in Elling Parish. (FHC#048999). They lived at Kragskov Hede in Elling Parish. Kragskov Hede is now a reform center (prison). Their first child Christiane was born August 14, 1861 in Kragskov Hede, Elling Parish, Hjørring County, Denmark. (FHC#048999). The birth record lists her parents as Mormons. Christiane died October 21, 1861. (FHC#048999). She is also listed on the Richfield Ward record for the time period 1878 to 1894 (FHC#026448 pg 7). Their second child Christen Peter was born August 22, 1862 in Kragskov Hede, Elling Parish, Hjørring County, Denmark. (FHC#048999). His blessing is found on the LDS Vendsyssel District record. He was blessed September 12, 1862 by A.C. Nillojen. (FHC#041948) Christen Peter died January 15, 1863 in Elling Parish.

On the LDS Vendsyssel District record his blessing is listed twice, once as Christen L. Christensen and the other as Christen Larsen Christensen. Other than that they are the same. He was blessed June 23, 1865 by A.P. Nielsen. (FHC#041948) Christen and Else moved from Elling Parish to Tversted Parish in July of 1867. The Elling Parish record lists them as moving July 19, 1867. (FHC#048999) The Tversted Parish record lists them moving July 27, 1867. (FHC#049165) Because of this move, their fifth child Julius Peter is not listed on either of the two parish records. The LDS Vendsyssel District record shows Julius Peter was born July 18, 1867 in Tversted Mose, Tversted Parish, Hjørring County, Denmark. He was blessed October 11, 1867 by J. Johnsen. (FHC#041948 pg 43 #111) On the 1870 census the family is listed as follows: Tversted Øster, Tversted Parish, Horns District, Hjørring County #195 Christen Christensen 32 M Married Mormon Aasted Husband #196 Else Marie 29 F Married Mormon Lendum Wife #197 Christen Larsen 4 M Unmarried Mormon Elling Children #198 Julius Peter 2 M " " Tversted " The Danish Emigration Records of 1870 (FHC#898565) shows Christen Christensen with his wife Else and three children: Christen Larsen age 4, Julius Peter age 3 and Carl Gostliel Geisler age 10. It is unknown who Carl is. Apparently he wanted to come to America but was too young to do so by himself. The LDS Aalborg Conference records lists the family in April 1870. (FHC#025696) CHRISTENSEN, Christen 33 Aasted Farmer Else Marie 29 Bredmose Wife Julius Peter 3 Tversted Mose Son Christen Larsen 4 Kragskov d (ditto) They came on the ship "Minnesota" to America leaving Denmark 9 July 1870. They arrived in New York 1 Aug 1870. I find rebaptism dates on the LDS Vendsyssel District record for both Christen and Else Marie 30 July 1861. On the 1860 census it lists Else Marie and her mother Ane Madsen as Mormons. When they came to America they settled in Fairview, Sanpete, Utah where they had three more children: James Basswood born September 10, 1871 Edward born February 10, 1973 Ann Cathrine born May 15, 1876 Documentation for these children is from the LDS Richfield Ward record for the year's 1878-1941 (FHC#026445) and 1894-1904 (FHC#026448). Some time between 1876 and 1879 Christen and his two wives moved to Richfield Utah. Else Marie died in Richfield, Sevier, Utah in 1882. Their son James Basswood died here on March 23, 1893. Christen married his second wife Inger Marie Petersen October 12, 1874 in the Endowment House. This was the same day he was sealed to his first wife Else. The other children listed on the Richfield records were Jens, Carolina and Paul Peter. There are children by Inger Marie and her first husband. They are not Christen's. Paul Peter was born in MT. Pleasant four days before his mother moved to Fairview August 5, 1874. Inger Marie died in 1879 and is buried in the Richfield City cemetery. Christen married his third wife Inger Christensen July 24, 1882. (Both first and second wives having died). Inger was born August 10, 1847 in Augusta (sic), Hjørring County, Denmark. She died in Richfield December 23, 1883. The tombstone in the city cemetery has 1884. It is unknown if Christen raised the minor children by himself. At the time of Inger Marie's death, her youngest child would have been 5 years old. When Else died the youngest child would have been Anne Cathrine who was 6 years old. The 1900 US census (FHC#1241686) lists Christen as living alone on his farm. He is listed as Chris Christensen. His occupation is a farmer. I have yet to find an occupation as a blacksmith. Christen died December 10, 1902 in Richfield, Sevier, Utah. He was buried December 12, 1902 in the Richfield City cemetery. On April 10, 1903, Edward Christensen, the son of Christen and Else Marie, came and handled the estate. Children of Christen and Else Marie: Christian Larsen left home at age 16, mad at father for marriage to 3rd wife. He changed name to Sydney Turpin. Abt 1895 he married a widow Mary Laura (nee McVicar) Morrow with 2 children. They had two children of their own. They later separated. Went to Alaska gold mines. Visited the family about 1924. Died about 1925 after returning to Alaska. He was supposedly killed by mining partner. (may have died in Tacoma Washington). Julius Peter married Diantha Elizabeth Mortensen June 21 1895. Julius and Diantha later divorced and Julius then married Elizabeth Bromley. Julius died December 4, 1944 James Basswood died 22 March 1892 in Richfield Utah. He never married. Edward James married 1) Charlotte Leroy in 1897. They divorced bef 1918. He married 2) Lucretia Ann Blood 26 Apr 1922 in Reno Nevada. Edward died October 17, 1930 in a coal mine accident near Standardville Utah. He is buried in Price Utah. All information on Edward came from his step-son Tracy Hauder.
