Andy,
I am descended from Peter Jepsen and Sine Dahl Jepsen.I was born and raised in Strator, Il just a stones throw from Dwight.The story that I was told as a child was that Peter and three of his brothers settled in Dwight, but I have never been able to confirm the names of the brothers.Peter was my great grandfather.My grandfather was Martin Funk Jepsen, born in Dwight and moved to Bloomington, Il where he married Marie Turner.They had 4 boys Arthur, William, Martin, and John.John died at a young age from a bite from a rabid dog.Arthur was my father.I am sorry I can't help much with the other Jepsen names that you mentioned from Dwight.I also had one other Great aunt from Dwight that I believe is buried there -- Ella Jepsen.Oh, and by the way, This branch of the Jepsen's is also somehow related to the Jepsen's from Iowa -- Senator Jepsen and the basketball player.
