Robert Moore [Parents] was born in 1788 in New Hampshire. He died in Ashtabula County, Ohio. He married Hannah Bean about 1815 in Connor, Massachusetts, USA.

Hannah Bean was born on 26 Jan 1794 in Vermont. She died on 11 Apr 1881 in Rome, Wisconsin. She married Robert Moore about 1815 in Connor, Massachusetts, USA.

Information source - see George Walter PETRIE (Rin #128).

The marriage date of Hannah and Robert is unknown. The first known birth
date was for Son Robert, born in 1823. There appears to be three children
before him. From this it is estimated that their marriage date was about 1815
when Hanna would be 24 years of age.

Hannah and Robert had 7 children.

Upon Robert's death, Hannah took her children and her brother Joel, 17 years,
to Conneaut, Ohio where they lived for several years. In later years Hannah
moved to Wisconsin to be near her family but she was independent and refused to
live with any of them. She lived in a small house close by her son, Robert.
Hannah was taken care of by Robert in her final years.

Nelse Christian. Jensen [Parents] [scrapbook] was born on 6 Feb 1868 in Fredrickshaven, Denmark. He died on 15 Feb 1956 in Jensen Ranch, Musselshell, Montana. He was buried in Musselshell Cemetery, Musselshell, Montana. He married Ethelyn Theda Petrie on 30 Oct 1895 in Fairmont, Minnesota, USA.

Information source - see George Walter PETRIE (Rin #128).

The 1900 US Federal Census for Albert Lea, Minnesota shows:
Nels C. Jensen; born 1867 in Denmark; immigrated to USA in 1875; married in 1896; grocer.
Ethyl T. Jensen; wife; born 1876 in Wisconsin.
Helen Jensen; daughter; born 1897 in Minnesota.

The 1910 US Federal Census for Albert Lea, Minnesota shows:
Nels Jensen; age 40; born in Iowa; parents born in Denmark; Real Estate Dealer.
Ethlyn; wife; age 34; born in Wisconsin; parents born in Wisconsin/Ohio.
Helen; daughter; age 13. born in Minnesota; parents vorn in Iowa/Wisconsin.

Ethelyn Theda Petrie [Parents] [scrapbook] was born on 8 Feb 1876 in Unity, Wisconsin. She died on 4 Oct 1942 in Billings, Montana. She was buried in Musselshell Cemetery, Musselshell, Montana. She married Nelse Christian. Jensen on 30 Oct 1895 in Fairmont, Minnesota, USA.

Information source - see George Walter PETRIE (Rin #128).

There is some question about the order of her given names. In the Petrie Bible in my possession she is registered as Theda Ethelyn Petrie. This order is also shown in "Memories of the Moores" (1990) by Mable Leota Moore Huntsinger and in a family tree and notes received from Gus (Irving Leroy) Dehnert in 1978 . Phillip H. Walker in "The Family Tree of Mary Hoffman and Harry Walker" (1972) shows only Theda. However. it appears that she went by the name Ethelyn or Ethel. Her family and near relativescalled her Ethel and that is how she signed her personal letters. In "The Mohawk Valley Petries and Allied Families" by Hazel Patrick (1979) her full name is given as Ethelyn Theda Petrie. This probably originated from her sister Olive Moore Petrie who made several contributions to Hazel's book.

In the summer of 1921 Elizabeth (Petrie) and Joseph Robertson and children travelled by Model T Ford from Strome, Alberta to Musselshell, Montana to visit Elizabeth's sister Ethelyn (Petrie) and Nelse Jensen and family.

Recently, when Carole (Jensen) Feeley saw pictures of this 1921 trip she recalled certain events that occurred in her youth. In a letter dated August 30, 2004 she wrote:

"As a young child, I remember Grandpa Jensen walking across the dam to our house to get a bucket of water every day. As he aged, he would stop, lie down and rest once, then continue. Finally he was unable to make the trip and it became my job to take him a bucket of water on my bike. I must have been about 9 at that time. So, every day he would get whatever was left after the bucket rode dangling from the handle bar of my bike. I became a steady bike rider! All the water he had was that one bucket per day. It astounds me that anyone could get by with that little water. I enjoyed going over and it must have been a break in his day. Grandpa was not liked by the Petrie side of the family because of his drinking and the fact that his wife had to do a great share of the work. I remember Aunt Beth giving her version of their stay at the ranch in 1921. She was appalled at the fact that my grandmother had to carry all their water from the creek up the hill to the house. Uncle Joe did the toting of the water during their stay. I still remember her telling the story in our car while sitting in front of our house in a rainstorm and Aunt Beth crying, all those years later. It must have been sometime in the 1960s."

In another letter date September 13,2004 Carole wrote:

"The pictures are fascinating. I had never seen the pictures of the four boys (see pictures for Helen Mary JENSEN) and the homestead shack. The writing on the picture identifies the shack as Grandpa Petrie's, I believe. Grandpa Jensen built his log home in two parts. We have a picture of him in front of the first portion. The next picture we have identified is the one you sent, which was taken in 1921 and the cabin has been completed. The second portion wasn't used later on, except as an entryway."

They had the following children:

  M ii Walter Petrie Jensen was born on 20 Sep 1900 in Albert Lea, Minnesota, USA. He died on 28 Jun 1902 in Albert Lea, Minnesota, USA.
