They have at least 8 children.

• 1.   Hedvig ”Hedda” Sofia Reinholdsdotter (17/12 1834 – after 1869)
  •  Carl Johan Andersson
• 2.   Anders Johan August (1837 – 1838)
• 3.   August Reinhold Reinholdsson Ringhold (11/7 1839 – after 1900)
  •  Anna ? 
• 4.   Axel Ulrik Reinholdsson (20/10 1841 – efter 1869)
• 5.   Anders/Andrew Johan Reinholdsson Reinholt (1/10 1844 – after 1880)
  •  Caroline ? 
• 6.   Samuel Peter Reinholdsson (11/7 1847 – after 1885)
  •  Hedda Maria Johansdotter
• 7.   Gustaf ”Gust” Adolf Reinholdsson Ring (6/11 1850 – 1900)
  •  Crestine ? 
• 8.   Anton Leonard (28/4 1853 – 1858)

Hedda and Axel Ulrik emigrate to America in 1869, and Anders follows a year later. Their parents remain in Kvarnstugan until 1873 when they, too, decide to emigrate along with August and Gustaf Adolf. They settle on a farm in Skandiaicon-map-marker, Minnesota, with Anders.

In 1885 they have moved to Ellsborough Townshipicon-map-marker in western Minnesota along with August and his daughter. At the same time, their son Samuel Peter makes the journey across the sea. Thus, in the end the entire family ends up in America.

By 1900, the farm in Ellsborough has been taken over by the brothers Gustaf ”Gust” and August, while their mother has died. They now call themselves Ring or Ringhold as a surname (earlier on it had been spelled Reinholt), a survival from the children’s Swedish patronymic Reinholdsson. They thus found the J1a-branch: The Reinhold family in Minnesota.
