I have received much needed information about this family from this site. Now I am trying to learn why they were listed as original settlers at the Bishop Hill colony. They were Methodists, and Augustus married into a prominent Methodist family with strong ties to Jonus Hedstrom, and also to the anti-slavery movement. Those facts make it possible that the Källströms were dissenters from the Swed. Lutheran church. Bishop Hill experienced many deaths from Asiatic Cholera, and both of the Källström parents died of that disease in Chicago, so they might have spent time at the colony or with other dissenters who carried the disease. All three sons married in Stark County, IL, which is contiguous to Henry County, where Bishop Hill was located. **EMIGRATION DATE: MAY 25, 1846, but I do not know when they arrived in NY. --CARL CHRISTOFFER ERSSON KÄLLSTRÖM Born: 4-Aug 1798 in Lundby, Tillinge Parish, Uppsala Län. He was a soldier and a shoemaker. --STINA OLSDOTTER Born: 7-Aug (or 7-May) 1796 in Torstuna, Uppsala Län ---JAN OLOF (or John Olif) CARLSSON [KÄLLSTRÖM] Born: 3-Feb 1832 in Syllby, Österunda Parish, Västmanland län ---AUGUSTUS (GUSTAF) A. CARLSSON [KÄLLSTRÖM] Born: 12-Mar 1834 in Syllby, Österunda parish ---CHRISTINA LOVISA CARLSDOTTER [KÄLLSTRÖM] Born: 4-April 1837 in Syllby, Österunda Parish, Västmanland län ---JULIUS CARLSSON [KÄLLSTRÖM] Born: 20-Nov 1840 in Syllby, Österunda Parish, Västmanland län Thanks for looking for them in Dr. Olsson's book!
