Who was Jacob A. Johnsons 2. wife?
« on: Thursday 26 March 15 21:01 GMT (UK) »
Jacob A. Johnson born July 27th 1871 in Clay county South Dakota, died October 15th 1957, buried Sunset Memorial cemetery, Bismarck ND, was married four times:
   1. m. Carrie Leikvold, (8.10.1865-31.7.1897), 1 child.
   2. m unknown woman, mother to his 2nd og 3rd child,
   3. 1909 m. Sønneva Kristoffersdtr. Kalstveit (1882-1916), buried Pleasant Valley cemetery, SD, 1 barn,
   4. 26.7.1945 m. Hannah Pederson b. Ryan 23.6.1876 in Norway.
 I need help to find the name of his 2nd wife.
In 1900 Jacob lived by his Brother in Law William Sweeley in Spirit Mound, SD. He was widoved.
In 1902 his daughter Margaret is born, in 1905 his Third daughter Elvira. In 1909 he married Sønneve (Senora), so we are seeking his 2nd wife between 1900/2 and 1905/9. I Guess some birth record for her children will be the Place to find her?

South Dakota started recording vital records in 1905.  http://apps.sd.gov/PH14Over100BirthRec/index.aspx 

I didn't see any matches for birth records for his children on that index.  Usually, it took some time to get everyone to comply with registration.

Do you have any marriages or deaths for the children of the unknown wife?

For Margaret I have nothing but her birth year. Elvira however married Abel Johnson, and had four children.
I Guess this is her Family 1940 - she is then named Evilyn Ruth: http://search.ancestry.se/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=1940usfedcen&h=99893010&indiv=try&o_vc=Record:OtherRecord&rhSource=6224

An here is her Death in 1998: http://search.ancestry.se/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=StructuredCrawledSites-51&h=15306834&indiv=try&o_vc=Record:OtherRecord&rhSource=2442
And her grave: http://search.ancestry.se/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=1940usfedcen&h=99893010&indiv=try&o_vc=Record:OtherRecord&rhSource=6224

Looks like she was born 1904.

I've been looking at the 1905 census and think I may have the correct family. They are indexed alphabetically on individual cards but the family members are numbered consecutively ( in other words they are not all together on one record).

Jacob A Johnson ( transcribed as Jacob S ) Card 136
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MM4T-JSB

Clara L Johnson b Iowa Card 137
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MM4T-KST

Mildred Johnson b 1895 Card 138
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MM4T-JLJ

Margaret H Johnson b 1901 Card 139 ( transcribed as 189 )
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MM4T-JNR

Margaret's card says her mother's birthplace was Iowa. You will need to be signed in to look at the images. This would probably make the wife in question Clara L from Iowa - a start at least !

I think I have interpreted this correctly - I'm sure someone with better knowledge will correct me if I haven't .
