The tree this year included not only

Peter Jepson's children and grand-

children but also all the rest of the

known descendents for a total of six

generations.

This is a view of the first family, the five children of Peter and Lovisa,

their children and descendants.

Here is a closer view of the whole tree before it was moved back

 to stand beside the Swedish flag.

Here we see Margaret's branch.  Only Irene and Sextus had more than

one generation of descendants.

Margaret had 7 children, 6 grandchildren,  11 great grandchildren, and 23 great great grandchildren

Margaret's family was represented by two of Sextus' sons.

(This is what happens when I crop a picture to show one specific part, like this branch of our family tree.    If I enlarge it, the picture is blurry.  Maybe some day I'll figure out how to bring it into focus.)

This is John's branch.  It is the only one which carries on the Jepson family name.  Of his four sons, only one, Pierce, had children.  They now have children (only one Jepson boy), grandchildren (again only one Jepson boy), and great grandchildren who are the sixth generation of this family.  John had 4 children, 2 grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren, 11 great great grandchildren and 6 great great great grandchildren

John's branch was represented at the reunion by the lone member of his generation to carry the Jepson name.  His son is that only Jepson boy in the fifth generation.

Here is Emma's branch.  She did not have any representation at the reunion although I know one really wanted to attend.

This branch has an interesting feature.  Of Emma's two daughters, one, Adeline, had children.  Looking at Adeline's descendants, each generation has one more child than the one before it

Emma has 2 children, 2 grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren and 4 great great grandchildren.

This is Alice's branch.  She had 3 children, 5 grandchildren, 6 great grandchildren, 21 great great grandchildren and 3 great great great grandchildren. 

Gladys has the most descendants so far as we have climbed this family tree.

Three of Gladys Sampson's daughters and their husbands came to the reunion as well as one grandson.

All of Leona's children attended the reunion.  One of her three grandchildren attended, and all four of her great grandchildren.

Luetta's family was represented by a son and his wife.
