Orm Drengson Åsland 2a arva 2/3 av Åsland etter faren, men bruka truleg det heile. Det var borna hans som kom opp i arvetvistene om Åsland og Midjås. Torbjørg, syster hans, skulle ha 1/3 av garden. Det var borneborna hennar som ville inn på Åsland.

 
English translation

Orm Drengson Åsland 2a inherited 2/3 of Åsland after his father died, but he probably used it all. It was his children who were found at the inherited residences around Åsland and Midjås. Torbjørg, his sister, was supposed to have 1/3 of the farm. It was her grandchildren who would settle near Åsland.

N. 1620-1674  

Dreng Ormson Åsland 4a (1594-Sk.1674) åtte i 1624 saman med broren 4 tnK i Åsland, 1 tnK i Skredtveit og 1 mK i Åmli i Setesdal. Sjølv hadde han kjøpt dei 2 mK i Haugehåtveit som Halvor Moghus hadde i 1615.

Tidleg på 1620talet starta prosessane om Åsland. Talleiv Åsmundson Rygnestad i Valle og syskena hans ville ha 1/3 av garden som arv etter farmora Torbjørg Drengsdtr. Dreng og Tarjei baud Rygnestadfolket jamngodt jordegods annan stad og freista gi dei Midtgarden Byrte. Talleiv Rygnestad var ikkje nøgd med det. Midtgarden var ein fjellgard utan dyrkbar jord som hadde vore aker i gamal tid. På Åsland var der udyrka mark og god plass til nydyrking. Garden hadde vore tre huslende i gamal tid, Åsland, Jordet og Bakken. Kjetil Bilstad vitna i 1627 at plassen der husa på garden stod, heitte Myre. Det vart til at Rygnestadfolket fekk arven si og Bakken vart skilt frå som eige bruk.

Dreng Ormson vart sitjande på garden i fred etter denne saka. Han åtte sine 4 tnK og var brukar til han var borti 80 år gamal. I 1667 hadde han gjesting av ein tjuv på garden. Det var Jon Olavson Vik frå Setesdal. Han stal brød, smør, fisk og to striskjorter. Skifte etter Dreng vart halde i 1674. Kona var Ingebjørg Tarjeisdtr. Jordeiga var Åsland og ½ tnK i Mykli.

 
English translation

In 1624 Dreng Ormson Åsland 4a (1594-Sk.1674) had, together with his brother, 4 tnK in Åsland, 1 tnK in Skredtveit and 1 mK in Åmli in Setesdal. He himself had purchased the 2 mK in Haugehåtveit which Halvor Moghus had in 1615.

Early in the 1620's legal actions started regarding Åsland. Talleiv Åsmundson Rygnestad in Valle and his brother wanted to have 1/3 of the farm as inheritance after their grandmother Torbjørg Drengsdtr died. Dreng and Tarjei offered the Rygnestad folks equivalent land property at another place and tried to give them Midtgarden Byrte. Talleiv Rygnestad was not pleased with that. Midtgarden was a mountain farm without arable land which had been a field in old times. At Åsland there was uncultivated ground and lots of room for new cultivation. The farm had been three huslende [smaller farms] in old times, Åsland, Jordet and Bakken. Kjetil Bilstad testified in 1627 that the place where the farm stood, was called Myre. That was until the Rygnestad folks got the inheritance themselves and Bakken was made separate as its own farm.

Dreng Ormson was living at his farm, in peace, after this lawsuit. He had his own 4 tnK and was the user until he was about 80 years old. In 1667 he had a visit from a robber at the farm. It was Jon Olavson Vik from Setesdal. He stole bread, butter, fish and two shirts. Probate after Dreng died was held in 1674. His wife was Ingebjørg Tarjeisdtr. His land ownership was Åsland and ½ tnK in Mykli.

SITJE

Page 788

 
 

Namnet vert av Rygh "Norske Gaardnavne" kalla eineståande utan at han med visse kan tolke det. Truleg har det samanheng med å sitje.

 
English translation

The name [Sitje] was called unique by Rygh's "Norske Gaardnavne" ["Norwegian Farm Names"] without him being able to interpret it with certainty. It probably has a connection with "to sit".


 
3.      Tarjei
N. 1604-1610  

Frå nokre arvetvistar utpå 1600talet høyrer me om Såvi og Ragnhild på Nape. Dei åtte mellom anna 3 tnK i Sitje med Lie. Såvi døydde tidleg, men me finn Ragnhild fleire gonger. I eit brev frå 1588(?) skreiv ho seg for Sitje og vitna då om øydegarden Lie. Versonen Folke hadde leigd han i år. Det skulle difor vere visst at det var Folke Tjodgeirson frå Straume som var den fyrste brukaren me finn i skattelistene. Ei tid etter at han flytte heim til Hylestad, finn me den andre versonen til Ragnhild.

Det var Tarjei Folkeson frå S.Rygnestad som var gift med Gjertrud Såvisdtr. Ragnhild på Nape åtte 1 tnK i Sitje i 1603, men budde truleg på Sitje alt då. Eit brev frå 1605 fortel at Ragnhild Tarjeisdtr hadde budd med versonen Tarjei Folkeson nokre år. Borna til sonen var umyndige. Tarjei skulle få alt ho hadde i lause pengar og landskylda av dei 4 tnK ho åtte for levetida hennar mot å gje føderåd.

Tarjei døydde truleg ikring 1610. Etter det finn me ei rekkje namn på garden, truleg var det borna og borneborna hans. Frå det me får høyre i tvisten om Nape og andre stader, må det ha vore mange born. Eigarar i 1615 var Olav Svalestog med 5 mK og Torkjell Lindem i Nesherad med 2½ tnK.

Gjertrud var framleis i live i 1624. Ho åtte då 2 tnK i Sitje som kjøpegods, 1 mK i Bergland som odel og 1 mK i Austad i Nednes som giftegods. Olav Svalestog hadde 5 mK giftegods. Truleg døydde Gjertrud ikring 1630 og må då ha vore ei gamal kvinne.

 
English translation

From several inherited residences well into the 1600's we hear about Såvi and Ragnhild of Nape. They owned among other things 3 tnK at Sitje including Lie. Såvi died early, but we find Ragnhild several times. She wrote in support of Sitje in a 1588(?) document and then testified about the allodial farm Lie. Her son-in-law Folke had leased it for 9 years. It should therefore be certain that it was Folke Tjodgeirson from Straume who was the first owner we find in the skattelistene [tax rolls]. Some time after he moved home to Hylestad, we find the other son-in-law [Tarjei Folkeson] of Ragnhild.

Tarjei Folkeson from S.Rygnestad was married to Gjertrud Såvisdtr. Ragnhild of Nape had 1 tnK at Sitje in 1603, but probably already lived at Sitje then. A document from 1605 tells that Ragnhild Tarjeisdtr had lived with her son-in-law Tarjei Folkeson several years. The children of her son were minors. Tarjei would get all she had in payments due and land rents of the 4 tnK she had for her lifetime in return for bestowing her pension.

Tarjei probably died around 1610. After that we find a line of names at the farm, probably his children and grandchildren. From that we hear in the dispute about Nape and other places, there may have been many children. Owners in 1615 were Olav Svalestog with 5 mK and Torkjell Lindem of Nesherad with 2½ tnK.

Gjertrud was still alive in 1624. She had then 2 tnK at Sitje as property, 1 mK at Bergland as allodial property and 1 mK at Austad in Nednes [Aust-Agder] as marital property. Olav Svalestog had 5 mK marital property. Gjertrud probably died around 1630 and must have then been an old woman.
