Posted on: Jackson County Wi. Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Wi/Jackson/401 Surname: PEDERSON ------------------------- People with these surnames settled in Jump River, Taylor County, WI which is just north of Black River Falls and Jackson County. The Pederson's I know of had names like Gunter and Ralph though. The Oleson's are too numerous to mention. Some of their descendents ended up in Waukesha, WI.
