It appears from the 1860 Census: Nevada, Mower, Minnesota, that Ann may have been the daughter of Ole and Mary Sampson. It’s showing Ole Sampson, 33, born Norway; Mary, 28, born Norway, Anna, 6, born Minnesota; Gunella, 5, born Minn.; Lam, 4, born Minn.; and Catherine, 2, born Minn.This would agree with the 1925 Iowa Census, Otranto, Mitchell; where Ann Eversons parents are shown as Ole Sampson and mother Marrit Swingley, both born Norway (note these spellings on the 1925 census are usually close but not always correct).
It is not known whether she was married twice (the name Bjorndalen) or whether that is part of her birth name.
