Notes
a. Note:   c County Historical Society Yearbook, Vol 14, No. 1 (2000), James F. Steelman identified her as "Judith Alison", "whose parents are unknown". I wrote to Mr. Steelman regarding his source for Judith's last name, and he replied, under leter dated May 12, 2008 that: "I really should have called her Judith (Alison or Olson?). I made a choice after considering the many spellings in the various early Steelman genealogies at the historical society. None of those genealogies have any citations for her name." My guess is that the identification of Judith's last name as Olon or Alison is based on Rudman's list of 1697, which indicates that Olle Svensson had a daughter named Judith. According to genealogist Peter S. Craig, however, Judith, the daughter of Olle Swenson, married Matthias Mattson, and that identification appears to be confirmed by the 1736 will of John Swanson.
