This is a update. I have gone back to the Carroll Co, Gen Soc. Page and have found the following: Nat. Applications... Peter CHRISTENSON, DEN, Date of intent filed 10-15-1881, Vol. 8, pg. 25 Nat. Granted Paul ANDERSON, GER, Vol 1, pg. 175, date 10-20-1876 Samuel LARSEN, Vol 1, pg 345, date 10-25-1880 Peter CHRISTENSON, DEN, Vol.1, pg 222 date 4-5-1886 I do not find an application listed for either Paul ANDERSON nor Samuel LARSON, but would hazard a guess they did in fact apply in Savannah, Carroll Co, IL. Per the 1900 census listing Crist. LARSEN (who I believe to be the father of Samuel) had applied for Nat. as of the time of the census, but no listing is shown on the Carroll Co, site for either application or issuance.. Another quick note...Paul ANDERSON was actually from DEN. he is listed on the site as from GER. which may very well be where he sailed from, or might have listed as such because of the 1864 war of DEN and GER., where Germany took control of an area of Denmark. The nat. date of 1876 agrees with the date shown in the 1900 census listing for Paul so am about 99% certian this is his listing in spite of the GER notation.
