General: IMMIGRANT
SLOOPER* - She was listed with her husband and daughter
Martha in the 1801 Norwegian census in Stavanger Co., Lye Parish, Giestdahl
subparish, Madland farm, as age 31 and wife of the head of the household. She sailed on the Sloop Restoration, 1825,
to America with her husband and 3 daughters; she and her family had just
settled in Murray, New York, area when she was widowed in the summer of 1826. It has been said that she was the oldest
woman among the Sloopers. "Siri
Madland and her daughters were not left to live alone. On June 15, 1826 Gurine (her daughter) had
been married to Gudmund Danielsen Haukaas.
There are indications the Madland-Haukaas family settled in the south
part of the colony." (Rosdail, p. 44)
Siri died in Murray, NY, 3 years after her husband's death.
