Johan Christian Andreas Olsen

  Notater:

Johan bevarede måske en vis kontakt med familien i Danmark, efter han som 15 årrig rejste til Amerika. Han har helt sikkert fortalt sine børn om sine søskende hjemme i Danmark.
Nekrologen over Johan nævner alle hans søskende, men ingen har tilsyneladende vist at de alle var døde.
