Biography

[map of area (including Felland)]
[map of area (including Haugehåtveit)]

OLAV GUNNARSON came to Reindal after his mother GURI died. He owned almost the entire farm and kept it throughout his life. Some of his Reindal property was inheritance that he had purchased from his brother Såvi and sister Torunn in 1686.

For a couple of years, in 1688-89, he also used Lofthus Vestre, until taken over by Såvi.

After OLAV died, a probate in 1720 revealed he had substantial allodial property at Reindal, Underdal and Reini. His estate was worth over 1805 rd.

8.       Gunnar
N. 1641-1675  

Gunnar Olavson (1599-Sk.1676) hadde butt på Midjås 5 og Underdal 6 før han kom til Felland. Han var gift med Hege Steffensdotter S.Felland 7b og fekk med henne 2 tnK i garden. Resten var det Margit Åse og Folke Rygnestad i Valle som åtte. Det vart halde skifte etter Hege i 1656, borna stemna i 1670 faren for rett skifte. Jordegodset var 1 tn 4 mK i S.Felland og ½ kvart tn 1 notK i Tveiten. Det var 22 rd til kvar bror i lausøyre og 11 rd til systrene. Dei hadde ikkje fått pengane frå faren fullt ut. Det vart dømt at Gunnar skulle betala gjelda og dela alt jordegodset til borna. Han hadde ikkje rett til helming då hans eige jordegods ikkje var med i skiftet. Gunnar Olavson fann seg ei ny kone etter at Hege døydde. Ho heitte Guri Såvisdotter Midjås 6d og var enkje etter Bjørn Kjetilson Bilstad 5. Gunnar døydde ikring 1676 og det vart halde skifte. Her var då 1 tn 2 mK i S.Felland og 3½ kvart tnK i Reindal. Lausøyret var verd 87 rd.

Gunnar Olavson (1599-Sk.1676) had lived at Midjås 5 and Underdal 6 before he came to Felland. He was married to Hege Steffensdotter S.Felland 7b and had with her 2 tnK at the farm. It was Margit Åse and Folke Rygnestad in Valle who owned the rest. Probate was held after Hege died in 1656, and the children petitioned their father in 1670 for a rightful inheritance. The land property was 1 tn 4 mK at S.Felland and ½ kvart tn 1 notK at Tveiten. There were 22 rd for each brother in personal property and 11 rd for the sisters. They had not received the money from their father in full. It was decided that Gunnar should pay the indebtedness and his part of all land property to the children. He had no right to one-half, as his land property ownership was not included in the probate. Gunnar Olavson found himself a new wife after Hege died. She was named Guri Såvisdotter Midjås 6d and was the widow of Bjørn Kjetilson Bilstad 5. Gunnar died about 1676 and probate was held. There was then 1 tn 2 mK at S.Felland and 3½ quarter tnK at Reindal. The personal property was worth 87 rd.

The widow Guri Såvisdotter moved to Reindal 9 after her husband died. Probate was handled from over there in 1686. She still was living, but was aged. The allodial property was ½ tnK in Reini and 1 quarter tnK in Midjås that her children inherited from the two marriages. After Gunnar and Guri died the farm was divided into smaller farms.

8.      Torbjørn
N. 1661-1683  

Torbjørn Sondreson Svalastoga (1634-Sk.1708) frå Grungedal kom til garden frå Åse 8 ikring 1661. Kona hans heitte Kristi Tarjeisdtr og ho fekk pant i 1 tnK i Haugehåtveit frå Knut Knutson i 1655 for 147 rd. Dei betala Gunnar Bjåland 20 rd for at Talleiv og Mari skulle få bruka 1 tnK i Bjåland. Vidare betala dei og 20 rd og 2 vårkyr for å koma inn på Haugehåtveit. Utanom denne garden åtte dei og jord i Tortveit, Nedgarden, Onsaker, Åmli og Lien, totalt 2 og 1 kvart tnK. Talleiv Bjåland stemna dei i 1668 for bruken av Haugehåtveit. Det kom til ei semje om at Torbjørn skulle betala 36 rd til for garden, men etter at Mari Bjåland var død, måtte arvingane betala pengane att.

Torbjørn Sondreson hadde sjølv rett til Haugehåtveit. Far hans, Sondre Oddson Svalastoga åtte jord i garden før han. Me har ikkje spora korleis dette var, men bumerket til Torbjørn var heilt likt det til Halvor Haugehåtveit 3.

Torbjørn kjøpte ut Olav Nikulsson i 1674 for 100 rd og vart då eineeigar til heile garden. I 1677 selde han ½ tnK i Hærstad til Rolv Gunleikson Hærstad for 60 rd. Dette må ha vore arv som Gunhild Olavsdtr Haugehåtveit fekk etter Gro Gunleiksdtr Hærstad ved skiftet i 1669. Tre år seinare var han med i ei sak om Fiskemostrand i Vinje saman med Steinar Nylende.

Ikring 1684 flytte Torbjørn til Svalastoga, men vart i 1706 stemna av Nikuls Olavson Homme som ville løysa Haugehåtveit. Det kom då til at Nikuls skulle ha 150 rd for odelsretten. Torbjørn og borna hans fekk ha garden.

 
English translation

Torbjørn Sondreson Svalastoga (1634-Sk.1708) from Grungedal came to the farm from Åse 8 about 1661. His wife's name was Kristi Tarjeisdtr and she got a mortgage on 1 tnK at Haugehåtveit from Knut Knutson in 1655 for 147 rd. They paid Gunnar Bjåland 20 rd so that Talleiv and Mari would get to use 1 tnK at Bjåland. In addition they also paid 20 rd and 2 spring cows in order to get Haugehåtveit. In addition to this farm they also owned land in Tortveit, Nedgarden, Onsaker, Åmli and Lien, totally 2 and 1 quarter tnK. Talleiv Bjåland sued in 1668 for the use of Haugehåtveit. An agreement was reached again that Torbjørn would pay 36 rd for the farm, but after Mari Bjåland was dead, the heirs had to pay the money back.

Torbjørn Sondreson had himself rights to Haugehåtveit. His father, Sondre Oddson Svalastoga owned land at the farm before him. We have not a clue how this was, but a bumerket [signature mark "X" of an illiterate person] of Torbjørn was quite similar to that of Halvor Haugehåtveit 3.

Torbjørn bought out Olav Nikulsson in 1674 for 100 rd and was then the sole owner of the entire farm. In 1677 he sold ½ tnK of Hærstad to Rolv Gunleikson Hærstad for 60 rd. This must have been inheritance that Gunhild Olavsdtr Haugehåtveit got at the estate settlement in 1669 after Gro Gunleiksdtr Hærstad died. Three years later he was involved in a lawsuit concerning Fiskemostrand in Vinje together with Steinar Nylende.

Around 1684 Torbjørn moved to Svalastoga, but was in 1706 sued by Nikuls Olavson Homme who wanted to buy Haugehåtveit. It then was decided that Nikuls should have 150 rd for the allodial rights. Torbjørn and his children acquired the farm.

8.      Olav
N. 1688-1689  

Olav Lofthus åtte 11 setK i Reindal 1688 og må truleg ha vore Olav Gunnarson Reindal 10. Det var bror hans, Såvi Gunnarson S.Felland 8h (1647-1729) som no kom til å bruka garden i ein mannsalder.

 
English translation

Olav Lofthus had 11 setK in Reindal in 1688 and must surely have been Olav Gunnarson Reindal 10. It was his brother, Såvi Gunnarson S.Felland 8h (1647-1729) who now got to use the farm for a generation.

10.       Olav
N. 1685-1719  

Det kom nok ein Olav til Reindal etter Guri, det var sonen Olav Gunnarson S.Felland 8i. I 1688 var det Olav V.Lofthus 8 som åtte mest heile garden, 11 setK. Etter den tid åtte Olav Gunnarson Reindal sjølv dette til sin død. Han bruka truleg båe gardane eit par år. Olav Gunnarson kjøpte arv i Reindal frå broren Såvi og systera Torunn i 1686 for 40 rd. I eit bryllaup på Reindal i 1704 var det harde tak. To slagsmål kom for retten på tinget. Truleg var det den eldste dottera, Tore, som gifte seg då.

Olav var gift med Guro Torbjørnsdtr Haugehåtveit 8b (1659-1737) og det vart halde skifte etter han i 1720. Odelen var 5½ mK i Reindal, 3½ mK i Underdal og 2 tnK i Reini. Det var eit særs solid bu verdsett til over 1805 rd.

 
English translation

An Olav probably came to Reindal after Guri died; it would have been her son Olav Gunnarson S.Felland 8i. In 1688 it was Olav V.Lofthus 8 who owned almost the entire farm, 11 setK. After that time Olav Gunnarson Reindal owned this himself until his own death. He probably used both the farms a couple years. Olav Gunnarson purchased inheritance in Reindal from his brother Såvi and his sister Torunn in 1686 for 40 rd. At a wedding at Reindal in 1704 there was a rowdy scuffle. Two fights came before the court to settle. Probably it was the oldest daughter, Tore, who married at that time.

Olav was married to Guro Torbjørnsdtr Haugehåtveit 8b (1659-1737) and a probate was held after he died in 1720. The allodial property was 5½ mK in Reindal, 3½ mK in Underdal and 2 tnK in Reini. It was a particularly substantial estate worth over 1805 rd.
