They had 1 tnK at Underdal and 4 mK at Reindal. He also had 1 tnK at Dalen in Eidsborg. One of his sisters was married to Sveinung Torson.

GURI SÅVISDOTTER was born at Nordre Midjås about 1620. She married first, Bjørn Kjetilson of Bilstad. He was a soldier in 1642. They had two children. Bjørn died at a young age and GURI married GUNNAR before 1647.

Most of the land at Nordre Midjås was passed on to the children of those two marriages. When GUNNAR died about 1676, he had a modest amount of land at FELLAND SØNDRE and Reindal.

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.

 
English translation

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.

5.      Gunnar
N. 1615  

Ved skrivinga av odelsjordeboka 1615 var det ein Gunnar Midjås som åtte 1 tn 1 mK i Dalen i Tokkedalen. Dette var Gunnar Olavson som seinare budde på Underdal 6 og S. Felland 8.

 
English translation

Through writings from the 1615 allodial land book there was a Gunnar Midjås who had 1 tn 1 mK at Dalen in Tokkedalen. This was Gunnar Olavson who later lived at Underdal 6 and S. Felland 8.


6.      Såvi
N. 1618-1640  

I 1617 makeskifte Olvar Lauvvik og sonen Roald Bergland bort N.Midjås med støylane og øydegardane Tveiten, Lille Tveiten, Haugestøyl, Rugdeli og øyde Rykkeli til Såvi Midjås mot 7 markebol i Hægeland, Vrådal. Såvi hadde tidlegare butt på Underdal 4 og hadde nok bytt gard med Gunnar. Det var og ein Såvi Tveiten 3 som åtte ½ tnK i Reindal i 1615.

Farsnamnet til Såvi er ikkje nemnt i kjeldene, men arv i Hægeland og namnebruk skapar lite tvil om at han var son til Luttan Knutson som er omtala under Underdal 1. Kor Luttan budde er ukjent.

Etter makeskiftet i 1617 åtte Såvi og arvingane hans heile garden som odel. Han var kyrkjeverje i tida 1624 til 1626 men vert borte frå kjeldene i 1640, og i matrikkelen 1647 er det arvingane som åtte garden. Truleg var det kona som var død, for det ser ut til at Såvi bruka Lofthus under Bakken 1 nokre år etter den tida. Skifte etter han vart halde så seint som i 1686. Odelen var då Midjås med Tveiten 2 tn 2mK og Reini 7½ kvart tnK.

 
English translation

In 1617 Olvar Lauvvik and his son Roald Bergland traded away N.Midjås with the meadows and the deserted farms Tveiten, Lille Tveiten, Haugestøyl, Rugdeli and deserted Rykkeli to Såvi Midjås in return for 7 markebol at Hægeland, Vrådal. Såvi had earlier lived at Underdal 4 and had probably traded a farm with Gunnar. There was also a Såvi Tveiten 3 who had ½ tnK at Reindal in 1615.

The name of Såvi's father is not mentioned in those sources, but inheritance of Hægeland and farm name creates little doubt that he was a son of Luttan Knutson who is mentioned under Underdal 1. Where Luttan lived is not known.

After the trade in 1617 Såvi and his heirs had the entire farm as allodial property. He was a church warden in the period 1624 to 1626 but was missing from the sources during 1640, and in the 1647 matrikkelen [tax rolls] he is the heir who had the farm. His wife was probably dead, for it seems that Såvi used Lofthus under Bakken 1 some years after that time. Probate was held after he died as late as 1686. The allodial property by that time was Midjås including Tveiten 2 tn 2 mK and Reini 7½ quarter tnK.
