Kristian Henriksen (Vermund) was a farmer and fisherman at Vermunden and later a crofter at Flisbrua Farm. He was descended from Tommes Olsen Vermund who was b. 1667 at Vermundsjoen. His parents were Henrik Andersen (Vermund) (1775-1799) and Ingeborg Karlsdatter (b. 1774).
Kristian married twice, first to Marte Danielsdatter (1809-1848) on 22 March 1827 at Aasnes Church. The couple had ten children, many of whom emigrated to the United States. About a decade after Marte's death, Kristian married Karen Mortensdatter, who had a young son, Ole Gunnersen. Karen and Kristian had two daughters of their own, Karen and Johanna, and a son, Johannes (1866-before 1870).
In July 1870 this family - Kristian, Karen, Ole, Karen, and Johanna - emigrated to the United States. They first sailed on the steamship Hero from Christiania (Oslo) to the English coast and then took the train to Liverpool. In Liverpool they boarded the Nestorian for the Atlantic journey on 21 July, arriving in Quebec City on July 31. They were accompanied by the family of one of Kristian's sons from his first marriage, Halvor Kristiansen, his wife Pernille Tostensdatter, and their children Martin, Kristian, and Theodore. They made their way to Arena, WI, where they remained a few years before moving to Jackson Co, WI.
In the last Norway census before their emigration, in 1865, they lived at Flistrand Farm, Gjesaasen, which was part of Åsnes, located on western bank of the river Flisa. They were from Flisbroen (bridge over the river Flisa).
The family are in the 1870 census in Arena WI - 69 year old "Christian," "Carn" (Karen) 49, Carn 9, Johanna 4, and Ole "Gunderson" age 13. That census does not indicate occupations but on the 10 June 1880 census, they were in Northfield, Jackson, WI and 72 year old Christian, who has reverted to the last name Hendriksen, is farming. His household includes wife "Carry," age 58, stepson Ole, whose age is given as 21, and daughter "Jenie," 16. Older daughter Karen (Carrie) had married Ole E. Johnson a few months earlier.
The census of 1900 in Sumner, Trempeleau WI was made on June 11 and 12. In it, 93-year-old Kristian, widowered, lives with the family of his daughter Carrie Johnson. He died on March 17, 1902, a day after his birthday, and is buried in the South Beef River Lutheran church among his kin. He has many American descendants, as at least eight of his children came to the United States.
