Matta Persson Anderson

En annan piga / hos Thomanders/ är Märtha Pers- dotter. Hon började hos Thomanders 1836 och slutade 1837 I maj 1838 födde hon ett utomäktenskapligt barn och flyttade till Malmö samma år. I hushållsböckerna står det att hon fått slutlön och en julklapp i december 1837, då hon måste varit i fjärde månaden. Frågan är om hon bad att få sluta eller hon blev av med arbetet när hon berättade att hon var gravid?

"Martha"

Birth: Jun. 1, 1812, Sweden Death: Oct. 10, 1880 Ephraim Sanpete County Utah, USA

Daughter of Per Martensson and Marna Truedsson

Unmarried to Johan Henrik Thomander. They had a son, Per "Peter" Thomander.

Son - There is a birth record for Per Martensson 17 Apr 1838 at Lund stadsfors, Malmohus, Sweden, illegitimate son of Johan Henric Thomander and Matta Persson but the birth name is listed as Martensson, Matta's father's name. When Matta married Johannes Andersson, 6 years later in 1844, Peter became part of the family. When Peter came to the US in 1862 with Anna Anderson, he took the name Peter Thomander and used it the rest of his life.

Johan August Anderson's (born Johansson) journal refers to "my half brother, Peter, was born on the 17th day of April 1838, before my mother was married to my father."

The following Seventy's record provides the same information as above: Seventy's record, film Wrf pt 13 p 1 line 56 Historical Dept: Born out of wedlock in Lund Swdn; father: Johan Henric Thomander, who was Bishop of Lund and one of the seven rep of the church in the House of Commons. Moved to Copenhagen 1855. His brother Johannes says Per came to America with Anna in 1862 and that he (Johannes) went to see Peter in Tooele when he got to Salt Lake in 1863.

Peter Thomander is generally shown in the family of Johannes Andersson and Matta Persson who raised him.
