Surnames: Oleson, Olson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2EC.2ACE/2731 Message Board Post: I'm searching for the family of Olive Edmunds and John Marcus Oleson/Olson, who were enumerated in Brighton Township, Marathon County, WI, in 1880. In 1870, however, I do not find a Brighton Township. Can someone please tell me when this township was formed, and from which township/s it was created.
