Hi again!
 
I find one Carl Johan Wilhelm Petersson who was born 1842-01-30. He left for North America in 1868 and was probably born in Ulrika parish from where he came first to Vikingstad in 1852, then to Vist in 1862 and finally to Linköping in 1864.
 
Could this be your relative even if he left for North America 10 years before your record?  Of course, we don't know how long time it took him to go there but 10 years seems a long time, but it is possible that he stayed somewhere else before he finally emigrated. I can only see that this person left Linköping in 1868 and that he informed that his destination was North America.
 
Another strange thing with this person is that he was called Carl Johan Wilhelm Johansson before he came to Linköping and after this Carl Johan Wilhelm Petersson. He stayed for some years in Vikingstad parish after he came from Ulrika and before Linköping.
 
Can you have interpreted Ulrika parish as Ulricehamn?
