John Alexander Person to USA

[Leah Neuberger]

John Alexander Person was b. 11 July 1850 in Smaland.  Family tradition says it was in Rante and the family farm was named Brealt.  He emmigrated to the US in 1867 and went to Wisconsin.  His mother's name was Annabritta Person.  He became known as John Britton.  I know nothing else and would appreciate any help.

Hello Leah,
 
I think that Ränte is the village, in Torpa parish, Kronobergs län (county).
There is a farm Bredhult about ten miles from Ränte.
 
Have You seen those name before?

Hello Leah,
 
In the CD of KGF I found that 1849, June 23, married Per Jönsson, 24 year, Brealt, Lidhult, Anna Britta Persdotter, 18 year, Broddalt, Lidhult. I think that those can be the parents for Your John Alexander Persson.
 
Regards
