According to the information I have, John Bodeen (Jöns Bodin?) was born May 9, 1843 in Halsta(?), Sweden.
He married Carolyn Larsson, Murin, Västergötland
John was in the army and deserted. He may have been part of a group that gave special service to the king of Sweden. He emigrated to America in 1879 or 1880.
Carolyn emigrated to America with her six children in 1881 or 1882.
The children were:
Augusta b. 9-9-1867 (female) Albert b. Oct. 1869 Emma b. 4-4-1874 Frank b. 12-18-1876 or 12-28-1876 Charlie b. 11-27-1878 (Carl ?) Alfred b. 9-29-1880
