Guðrún Jónsdóttir was born in 1850 in Húnavatnssýsla.
Spouse: Kristján Benediktsson b. in Húnavatnssýsla 1848, d. in Iceland in 1923.
Children: They had 16 children. Coming west with them were: 1. Anna b. 1873 2. Ingunn b. 1875 3. Sigurbjörg b. 1881 4. Þorbjörg b. 1883 5. Hannes b. 1884 6. Kristján b. 1885. Steinunn Helga b. 1881 came west in 1896. Guðlaug was born in the west in 1899.
They came west to Winnipeg in 1888 where they spent the first year. They moved west to the Pacific and built their farm near Bellingham, Washington in 1889-90. It was in 1893 that the family moved to Point Roberts and Kristján had a poultry farm there. He went to Iceland at the turn of the century, stayed there for a while, but then returned to Point Roberts. The visit to Iceland probably played its part in feeling homesick, his patriotism drew him home and he died there. Guðrún survived her husband and lived with her children in Washington.
