?1880 Census- There is no other option for Jens Sorensen and his family in the 1880 census.  They obviously might not be on the census, but I think there is a possibility that this entry is for his family even though it has errors.
1900 Census

Here is a good biography of Jens.

This information about Jens comes from two histories about his son Lars:

Jens was a "huseman," a small land holder. Jens and Johanna lived in Johanna's parents' home from the time they were married. Jens worked for farmers in the summers and in the winter he stayed home and made wooden spoons and all kinds of dippers. After Johanna's father, Johan Gotlieb Wilhelm Hansen, died in 1871, Jens took possession of the house. In 1874 Jens sold the house and emigrated to Utah with Johanna and their four children. They left Copenhagen on 16 June 1874 and sailed to London. They were on the ship "Idaho" to New York, then took the train to Chicago and on to Ogden. They traveled by ox team to Hyrum, Utah. The family stayed with Jens' younger brother, Peder, in Hyrum until 1876 when Jens and Johanna bought 4 city lots in the southeast part of Hyrum and built a house.
