Kjellgren, Jonas f. 1816, Fryksände

[Sue Barham]

I seek information about my great great great grandfather, Jonas Kjellgren, born in 1816.
In the 1890 census for Värmland, he lived, with 4 sons, 1 daughter, and 1 granddaughter (my grandmother)in Fryksände, Wadje.  His wife was no longer alive, but I have no information about her, other than a possible name of Marit Hallstensdotter, and a possible marriage date of June 24, 1858.  Another Jonas Kjellgren also lived in this same region at the same time, and perhaps the wife and wedding date are his.  Help, please
