  Kristen Nielsens bror Jes Christian Gundesen emigrerede til Amerika hvor han som pastor var hovedkraften bag grundlæggelsen af "the Bethany Lutheran church" som blev samlingspunktet for den danske koloni i Dickson. Den 12 oktober 1991 indviede Dronning Margrethe II og prins Henrik pioner-museet i Dickson og ved denne lejlighed lagde Dronning Margrethe en krans på pastor Jes Christian Gundesens grav. Pastor Gundesen had come from Denmark as a young man to the United States. He had been born on a small farm in 1856 and when he was confirmed, worked in a store in Varde. Later he worked on a farm on the island of Ms., which at that time was German. When his mother died, he immigrated to the United States and arrived in the home of an uncle in Elmdale, Minnesota, where he was welcomed and felt at home. He had made avow that he would go to school, so in 1882 when he had earned some money, he went to Bible School at Augsburg Seminary just outside of Minneapolis. He enjoyed his stay and decided to work during the summers and attend school during the winters. He made many friends and was in time accepted into the seminary of the Norwegian Lutheran Free Church. Emigrerede i ca 1881 til Amerika. Fik sin uddannelse til præst ved Augsburg College i Minneapolis, Minnesota Kom til Dickson med sin familie i september 1904. Han var den første Dansk-Lutheranske pastor i Canada. Her opbyggede han the "Bethany Lutheran Church" i 1908 trak han sig tilbage til at dyrke sit landbrug syd for Dickson. Omkring 1975 havde mine forældre besøg fra Canada af denne gren af familien og de medbragte en del korrespondance mellem Jes Christian Nielsen Gundesen og Petra Thomsen som senere blev hans kone. Disse breve og andet blev afleveret til museet i Nr. Nebel.
