Hello again,

Peter Johnson Canton (the grandfather to my great-aunt Annie Canton Odegard) would be Coyla Canton's uncle.

Peter Johnson Canton (1863-1945) was born to Johannes Pedersen Kanten (c.1831-?) and Anne Pedersdatter Haugshagen (c.1841-?) at the Trekanten farm in Gran, Hadeland, Norway.

Peter Johnson Canton married Karen Martia Kanten (1865-1958) in 1885 at Watson, Minn. Karen's parents were Iver Halvorson Kanten (1825-1910) and Anne Guldbrandsdatter Hilden (1826-1908), and Karen was born near Winona, Minnesota.

Peter and Karen's children were:
Iver (1886-?)
John ((c) 1889-?)
Adolph G. (1891-1974)
Inga (1893-?)
Arthur Melvin (1895-1978)
Philip Herbert (1898-1986)
Ernie Marcus (1901-1971)
Annie Matilda (1903-1955)
Percival Julian (1907-1975)

The P.J Canton farm was 3 miles north and a mile west of Watson along the north ridge of the Watson Sag.
