So this information tells us some a few new things.  First, the sisters, Inger and Benta, lived close together and shared in the care of their father,
Lars Nielsen, during his last years.  Second, "Mary C." who married Mads Rasmussen, son of Jens and Benta Rasmussen, was his first cousin, a
daughter of Inger and someone from Denmark.  She wouldn't have been the daughter of Soren Jensen.

Lars Nielsen's granddaughter, Mary C. "Jorgensen," married Mads Rasmussen.  So, following the law of patronymics,  her father was probably Jorgen ______ and mother was Inger Larsen/Nielsen.  Maybe that marriage can be found in the Danish records.
