Notes on Malene
Andersdtr.:
Birth: [Naeseth gives her birth year as 1799; Tysvær
bygdebok gives 1804 in 2 places.]
General: IMMIGRANT - She married Anders Andersen
Askeland (Oskeland) from Søre Askeland, Tysvær, Rogaland, Norway. Her husband got the deed to half of the
south Askeland farm in 1827 but he sold it in 1836. Malene, Anders and their 3 year old son Andereas sailed for
America aboard the ship "Norden" that same year.* Malene was pregnant on this voyage and gave
birth to a daughter a short period before they arrived in New York on 12 Jul
1836. Also aboard the Brig Norden on
this 1836 voyage was Marlene's older brother Knud. Probably because Malene's newborn infant was not doing well, the
Askeland family and brother Knud remained in New York for a short period while
the main body of emigrants went west.
The baby daughter died 8 days after they arrived in New York. They then went to La Salle Co., IL.
Records indicate that
Anders married a second time in 1866 to Anne Helene Hovada of Halsne who had
also sailed to America in 1836 but aboard the ship "Hercules;" she
had settled just north of the Fox River settlement in Leland, IL. This might indicate that Malene died before
1866. (Tysvær bygdebok #2, p. 175)
Naeseth indicates that she died in 1863. Naeseth also indicates that she had at least 4 more children
after arriving in America.
Records recently obtained
indicate that Malene and her husband were Quakers.

Cadbury references R. B.
Anderson when he states that Anders was
"one of those who in 1837 went with Kleng Peerson to found a colony in
Shelby County, Missouri, and later returned to La Salle County, Illinois. Flom on page 125 and Norlie on page 156 also
mention Anders, or Andrew, Askeland as among the first of the Shelby County
settlers."
