Notater:

Bjorn Anderson Kvelve was of yeoman stock. The place name "Kvelve" apparently was dropped when the family arrived in this country. Later it was resurrected and used by R. B. Anderson when he was reporting for his paper, "Amerika," on the subject of his own lecture tours in the Middle West. Whether readers belived that "Kvelve's" accounts of Professor Anderson's lectures were written by a person other than Anderson, I don't know. Because of the strong class, consciousness then existing in Norway, the von Krogh-Anderson marriage was a misalliance; however, there were perhaps other reasons why the bide's family objected to their son-in-law. Bjorn Anderson Kvelve was an able and energetic man, but he was also extremely disputatious. As a young man he went to church soley for the purpose of starting arguments outside the sanctuary over the doctrine and ritual of the state church.

In 1835, Bjorn and his wife had arrived in the town of Albion, Dane County, Wisconsin from Norway. After brief stays in Rochester, New York and La Salle County, Illinois, they went to Albion in the spring of 1841. There he purchased 80 acres of land outright, he secured 40 acres on pre-emption and subsequently he purchased another 100 acres. Mrs. Anderson was the first while woman to live in the town of Albion - a pioneer settlement with its market in Milwaukee, 70 miles away

He emigrated to Rochester, New York in 1836, moving in 1837 to Mission Township., LaSalle County, Illinois and in 1841 to Albion Township, Dane County, Wisconsin. He was a farmer
