  • He changed his name to Johnson.

    Son of Else Cathrine Jensen Christensen.

    There is some confusion as to which company he, his mother and her husband traveled in. They are on the Murdock company roster; however, Jens Christian Andersen Weibye notes that this is his half-sister's daughter's son who traveled with them.

    The "Society" article in The Journal talks about the 50th wedding anniversary of Niels and his wife.  It confirms his travel to Utah in 1862, but does not mention the company with which he traveled.  

John Riggs Murdock Company (1862)

Christian A. Madsen Company (1862)
