  Notes	There has been some confusion about the date of his birth and baptism because Vang and Slire gives a date of 1810 rather than 1815. There were two Johns born to Øystein and Ambjørg. There are baptism records for both, but family records give 1815 for the birth and baptism date for this John. The son born in 1810 probably died in 1811, as given by Anders Frøholm in Vang A, but most death records from 1810 to 1815 seem to be missing from the church books. Jon's family of 6 emigrated to Stoughton, Wisconsin, in the spring of 1850, then later moved to Northfield, Minnesota. Information found in the emigration list of 1850 (State Archives, Hamar, Norway): 9 March 1850 *John Østeinsen Ellingbøe 36 Margretta Øysteinsd. 31 Ambjor 11 Ingeborg 7 Ingerid 4 John 1/2 From N.Bø; his mother was from Ellingbø (Bøkko). On 1 March 1830, when Jon was 15, his grandfather Andris sold him Bøkko for 600 spd. with the provision that Andris could farm it as long as he was able. Andris died 16 days later. Jon's father farmed it for him for about 10 years until Jon took over and his father become a pensioner on the farm. Jon also gave a pension to Ivar Helgesson and his wife. See pp. 580-581 Ref. 1 for information to 1850. Some post-emigration information provided by John W. Ellingboe, Lloyd W. Ellingboe, William L. Ellingboe. Other information from census records, obituaries, etc. See photographs of cabinet painted with names of John and his wife. The cabinet was exhibited in the lobby of the Grindaheim Hotel by Marit and Helge Ellingboe. When the hotel was sold, the cabinet was moved to the nearby new house of Leif Solemsli, Jr. In the records of Wisconsin Deaths, 1820-1907, there is a John Ellingbo of Dane County listed as having died 4 Sep 1902. Could this be the same person? Wisconsin marriage records for two of his sons give Ellingbo as the spelling of last name. [6]
