Grå |
In the old days, there was all kinds of talk about Olav Grå and his sons in Tveit i Tveitgrenni [Map]. We find the men constantly in the court registers. Legend is that Olav was a silversmith and came from Konsberg to Bø (Gråsvoll and perhaps Groa honor his memory). Finally he came to Tveit. He is named in the land accounts at Bø in 1645, he is paying poll tax. In 1661 he has come to Kviteseid. In 1664 he is «oppsidder» [leaseholder] in Tveit, age 54, sons Ahnders and Verner are 18 and 14 years old. He has 4 children «Ole Graas Sønner» [Ole Graa's sons] whom we know from estate settlements and court register. |
