Torbjørn
N. 1625-1638

Torbjørn Kjetilson Vistad 2b vart brukar ennå medan faren levde, truleg budde Kjetil på Viken 1 dei siste åra. Kona til Torbjørn var Birgit Kjetilsdtr Bilstad 3e. Ho fekk ein svær arv heimanfrå, alt i 1624 åtte dei i Fjalestad og Grimdalen. Det vart halde skifte ikring 1640 og ho åtte då 1½ tnK i Fjalestad i Nissedal, ½ tnK i Grimdalen, 1 kvart tnK i Bondal i Fyresdal og 1½ tnK i Åmli i Setesdal. Torbjørn si eige var 1½ tnK i Vistad.

Det vart mykje usemje om dette skiftet. Brørne hadde styrt arven som dei ville, slik at systrene hadde tap på det. I 1665 kom saka opp på tinget på Nordre Vistad. Det vart synt eit bytesbrev frå 1650 og ein dom frå 1655 i retten. Jorda vart skift arvingane imellom på nytt. Enkja Birgit fekk 3 kvart tnK i Vistad som helming.

English translation

Torbjørn Kjetilson Vistad 2b was still a tenant farmer while his father lived, Kjetil probably lived at Viken 1 those last years. The wife of Torbjørn was Birgit Kjetilsdtr Bilstad 3e. She got a large inheritance from home, already in 1624 they owned Fjalestad and Grimdalen. Probate was held about 1640 and she owned then 1½ tnK at Fjalestad in Nissedal, ½ tnK at Grimdalen, 1 quarter tnK at Bondal in Fyresdal and 1½ tnK at Åmli in Setesdal. Torbjørn's own ownership was 1½ tnK at Vistad.

There was much disagreement about this estate. The brothers had controlled the inheritance as they wished, such that the sisters had lost out on it. In 1665 a lawsuit came up for settlement at Nordre Vistad. There was seen an exchange letter from 1650 and a judgement of rights from 1655. Land was exchanged anew between the heirs. The widow Birgit got 3 quarter tnK in Vistad as her half.

English translation

Olav Torbjørnson Vistad 4b (1604-Sk.1668) was married to Birgit Jonsdtr Berdal from Vinje and lived with her at Berdal from around 1625 until his father died. After a couple years he shared the farm with his brother Tjøstov Torbjørnson. Olav got the northern part. Olav was a church warden in Mo from 1655 to 1657 and had to pay 42 rd in 1660 because that farm had not paid taxes. He petitioned Torgrim Vistad and Olav Døli who had used the farm with him. Accordingly they were fined 14 rd each.

Probate was held at N.Vistad after Olav Torbjørnson died in 1668. His wife was also deceased. Ownership was 1½ tnK in the farm with a lease over 3 tnK, that must have then bought out his coheirs.
