- Peder Torstenson Molland immigrated to America in 1868 and married, in Vernon Co. Wi. November 20, 1876 to Aasta Johanne Torstensdotter from Oyni below Laegreid in Aarda, in America known as Aasta J. Stevlingson. She was the niece of a farmer Christi Torstensdotter from Nes in Luster (1800 - 1850) and was born in Aardal December 9, 1854, but immigrated to America with parents in 1868. Peter Molland was a school teacher: when he didn't farm with Aasta in Sterling township, Vernon Co. Wisconsin. There Aasta died September 26,1896. (Side note) My mother Kathryn Molland Nederloe told me that Aasta died from hemorraging. No knowledge of whether that was from childbirth or what. No one knows.
