Surname should be Christensen. Christiansen, Peter - the surname should have been spelled Christensen and in regard to the number and value of horses and mules it was broken down to reflect 4 horses @ $160 and 8 mules @ $250. Jensen, J. P. - all the entries including the name are crossed out, but all the entries are replicated in the last name entered and only one in pencil Yenson, Y. P. Sometimes there are errors in the addition of the figures see Hanson, Jens where the total should have been $832 instead of $855. Littlewood, Wm.
