"In both the above mentioned articles are particulars about Mad Jensen and his wife, the only white residents in the island (Garden) who have seemed permanent. They have been there for 40 years."

This makes 1884 for the year of arrival

Evidently, Julia Wachter, probably the daughter of James Wachter, see his card. She must have met Peter in this country and unlike his brother Matt and brother-in-law Larsen, he didn't send back to Denmark for a wife

Jensen is a mistake, this is Peter Johnson married to Julia Wachter, see church card

A. Wentworth, who married Phebe above, according to Sarah McKinley, "joined the Hundren Day men along with McCullock, they were both killed"

Johnson and McCullock were partners, it was less than a year since Johnson came, probably didn't have own house yet

Could this be one of the Mormon Johnson's that stayed on? Probably not, Franklin Johnson was ten years older than this and born in VA, not N.Y.

Was he in Canada between 1863 and 1874?

November 22, '1875, there is a birth registered "Mary Kane, parents Michael Kane and Anna Bonner, birth place of Michael unknown, of Anna Ireland"
Is this an illegitimate child? I was told he was a bachelor

This is Val McDonough's wife's brother, he must have inherited the farm when they both died
