Early in 1641 we find a man we recognize at the farm. His name was Svein Mikkelson (1616-Sk.1669) and he was from Nordlien in Vinje. He was a son of Mikkel Sveinson Lien and farmed Paradis in Vinje simultaneously with Skredtveit. Perhaps Mikkel lived also at Skredtveit for a time? A Mikkel Skredtveit was a lagrettemann [juror] in 1627. Probate after Mikkel Sveinson Nordlien died was held in 1664. His land ownership was 2½ tnK in Nordlien and 1 tnK in Skredtveit. Land in Homme in Treungen and Steinstad in Setesdalen was sold.

From a lawsuit from 1665 we see that Svein Skredtveit had a sister, Gunhild Sveinsdtr, who was married to Såvi and had a daughter, Sigrid Såvisdtr, married to Kjetil Talleivson Kolkjøn. Sigrid inherited Skredtveit after her father's mother died and Svein got Nordlien.

Svein Mikkelson got some of the inheritance at Skredtveit also. He sold the inheritance of his wife, ½ tnK in Hærstad in Fyresdal, to Rolv Gunleikson for 60 rd. Kjetil Kolkjøn got this money, as then he lived at Tveiten (in exchange) for his own inheritance of Skredtveit. Kjetil also got a horse from the widow Asgjerd in 1668.

Svein was married to Asgjerd Alvsdtr N.Tveiten 1c in Skafså and inherited Paradis with her. They also got land in N.Tveiten 4 which they used for some years. In 1652 it was a Talleiv Tveiten of Skafså who sued (Auvor?) Lunderhall about a probate at Tveit in Skafså and Rygnestad in Setesdalen. Talleiv Tveit was homeless when Svein Skredtveit had ordered him from the farm.

Svein was a church warden in Mo as early as 1639.

The 1647 matrikkelen [tax rolls] show that Svein Skredtveit and Gunnar Åse had half the farm each. Gunnar got his own part from his father-in-law Tarjei Ringestoga.

There was a disagreement about the inheritance after Svein and Asgjerd died. This came from the rights in 1686. It was said that Svein had purchased the farm from their heirs after Gunnar Åse and Gunleik Bakken died in Flatdal. He had no allodial rights, but probably Asgjerd had. Probate after his father died indicates something else, it may be that it was only mortgaged property he was left with. Svein had himself purchased lease rights to the farm in 1650. In 1667, Svein got Tovsland in Grungedal from Paul Druchen in return for S.Lauvvik. After he died, probate was held in 1669. They owned then 2½ tnK in Lien, 2 tnK in Tovsland, 1½ mK in Mosli, 2 tnK in Skredtveit and 1 tn 1 mK in Paradis.
