Jon.

What have about Martin Jorgenson is this:
Martin Syverin Jørgensen Snekkerhaugen/ Martin Jorgenson ,born 21 Jun 1864 ,and emigrated to USA in 1885. He was married in USA to
Mathilde.
And Martin`s brother Johan/John Jorgenson ,born 16 Jul 1860 ,and was living in Pilchutt ,WA. He emigrated in 1883.

Since you didn`t found Christian and Jorgen in 1920 and 1930 they may have (at least Christian) been dead by then. What do I know?.
