Knudt Olson Hastvedt Manuscript: "Recollections of Pioneer Life in Texas" n.d. copy of a bible (N.Y., American Bible Society, 1848) which Hasvedt purchased from Cleng Peerson on Feb. 10, 1851, according to his manuscript note in the "Familie Minder" pages between the two testaments. He mentions this purchase in his Recollections: "In 1848 Cleng Peerson came from Texas. He stayed with us two or three weeks ... returned to Illinois and came again to Texas in 1850. He brought along a whole bundle of Bibles and New Testaments. I bought a copy of each ... He had got these in Illinois from the Bible society; and much of the way, probably most of the 175 miles from Shreveport, Louisiana, he had to carry them on his back since he usually rode shanks' mare" (in the original, "Apostlernes Heste"). Hastvedt also noted in the "Familie Minder" pages information about three of his children: Jörgen Edvar, born April 16, 1863, Moscow, Wis.; Karel Christian Oscar, born and baptized Aug. 15, 1877; Johsephine Christine, born Dec. 18, 1881. According to "Norge i Texas" (1982) Hastvedt emigrated with his family from Aamli, Aust-Agder in 1846. In 1853 he led a group from Texas to Wisconsin, including his widowed mother (who died in Daleyville, Wis.), and two sisters. Hastvedt married in Wisconsin Christine Helleksen, and died in Dawson, Minn. 1904.(P.220; see also Naeseth's "Norwegian immigrants," v.2 p.295-296)

Hans Christian Heg was a known abolitionist, journalist, anti-slavery activist, politician and soldier. He was born in Lier, Buskerud, Norway (December 21, 1829). He was the eldest of the four children of Even Hansen Heg (1790–1850) and his wife Sigrid "Siri" Olsdatter Kallerud Heg (1799–1842). The family moved to America in 1840, settling in the Muskego Settlement in Wisconsin. 

He joined the "Forty-Niners" and spent two years prospecting for gold in California. Upon the death of his father, he returned to the Muskego area in 1851. He married Gunhild Einong (1833–1922). With the outbreak of the Civil War, Heg was appointed by Governor Alexander Randall as colonel of the 15th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment. He died of the wounds he received at the Battle of Chickamauga.
