2. Descentans of Anders Sohlström, son before marriage to the second wife of Aron Stina Andersdotter.

3. Descendants of Johan Sohlström, son before marriage to Johanna Westerdahl, the wife of one son of Aron - Karl Gustav Sohlström.
One of the sons - Carl Johan emigrated to Worcester, USA, so there are descendants in USA. Another son - Anders Gustaf - married a granddaughter of Aron, so there it is kinship.

Aron started using the name Sohlström when full educated as smith, and was inspired by the village where he was born - Solbergshöjden in Säfsnäs in Dalarna.
