Inger P. Ludlow, A.G., has stated: "It is not possible to extend the lines of the wife on this sheet, Karen Christensdatter, even though all efforts have been made to do so. In her probate it was noted, 'the deceased did not have any relatives in these parts of the country'."
Inger P. Ludlow has written: "Husband's given name spelled Balthser in christening record. This name has been spelled so many different ways through this research that I have just decided to the one spelling as it appears [and is used] on this sheet." Document in possession of R. Clayton Brough, July 2001.
