Hello Steve.
To my surprise, I found that the year of immigration regarding John Lind, is the very same in the U.S census 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930. Normally, it's more common that it differentiates with a couple of years. This means that we can be pretty sure of the year of immigration.
However, I believe John possibly changed his name just before his emigration from Sweden or just after arriving to the states. This information is taken from his death certificate (Familysearch.org);
Name: John Lind Titles and Terms (original): Death Date: 19 Sep 1932 Death Place: Chicago, Cook, Illinois Gender: Male Marital Status: Race or Color: Age: Estimated Birth Year: Birth Date: Birthplace: Father: Peter Johnson Father's Titles and Terms (original): Father's Birth Place: Mother: Carrie Mother's Titles and Terms (original): Mother's Birth Place: Occupation: Residence: Street Address: Spouse: Mathilda
So, his father's name was presumably Per/Peter/Petter Jonsson/Johansson/Johannesson. The mother's name Carrie could be Karin/Kerstin/Karoline/Karolina.
