Jons was born and baptised in Trono in Gavleborg County on February 20, 1820.
His name is Jons Pehrsson and his parents are Pehr Olofsson, a farmer,
(October 1, 1790-March 21, 1859) and Chjerstin Nilsdottor
(December 10, 1784-April 6, 1874) of Tygsta, Trono Parish, Gavlesborgs lan.

Sometime after their marriage and the birth of their 3 children Jons and Katrina
"Carrie" Jonsdotter moved to Skog, also in Gavleborg County, where they lived until
August 22, 1887 when they, their granddaughter, Katarina, and their daughter,
Kristina (Christina) departed from Hernebo, Skog Parish, Gavleborg County for the
United States. They are listed as Jons Persson, Katrina Jansdotter, Katarina Persdotter
Tornell and Kerstin Jonsdotter on transcriptions of Swedish emigration church records.

The family departed Christiana, Norway on about September 1, 1887 on the ship
Thingvalla. They arrived in New York on September 16, 1887. They are listed on the
Thingvalla passenger list as Jons Person, Karen Person, Christine Person and
Cathrine Person. They joined Jons and Katrina's sons, John and Peter, and the
rest of Peter's family (who immigrated in 1882) at Marquette, Hamilton County, Nebraska.

Oral family history suggests that John's wife Anna Katrina Wikstorm and their children,
Peter, Anna, Maria and John George, travelled with Jons and family. However,
Swedish church records show them departing Sweden on July 24, 1887, a slightly
earlier date. And, there does not appear to be any record of them travelling on the
ship Thingvalla.

Jons was a farmer. He adopted the name Jons P. Tunall after coming to the
United States. Pehrsson/Persson/Person came to be spelled Persjon.
The 1900 US census shows Jons living with his son and daughter in law, Peter and Anna.
Their surnames are spelled Tunnell on this hand written census record.
