Photo 38-FSU-16

Comments

This Farmstead was the location of the first Jepsons who migrated from Denmark in 1882 to settle in Sullivan County. Knud and Andrea Jepson gave birth to the first of their 8 children on their trip across the Atlantic Ocean. They lived on this farm for the remainder of their lives. Unfortunately, this farm, though bordering descendants' land, no longer is owned by any relatives from the Knud and Andrea Jepson family. The original barn built in the 1910s in still standing under the more modern expansions shown in this photo. To date, 2021, the barn is falling in and no longer salvageable.
