Biography

SIGNE TARJEISDOTTER was from Ringestoga. She married SONDRE ODDSON who was from Svalastoga in Grungedal. Grungedal is a parish in the kommune of Vinje. The wooden Grunge church was built there about 1850, a couple hundred years after SONDRE left the area.

SONDRE had half of Haugehåtveit in 1647, along with Laurits Johanson. Knut Knutson had the other half, along with his mother and stepfather. In 1655, Knut mortgaged his part of Haugehåtveit to KRISTI TARJEISDOTTER, the daughter-in-law of SONDRE and SIGNE.


 

Ownership of Haugehåtveit Land

SONDRE owned land at Haugehåtveit and somehow it was passed on to his son Torbjørn. How this transfer was accomplished is not known. One possibility is a roundabout transfer of land described in Haugehåtveit 4-9:

          1.   SONDRE shared ownership of part of Haugehåtveit with Mari Jonsdotter, widow of Knut Knutson.
          2.   Mari passed her land to her son, Knut.
          3.   Knut mortgaged his property to Kristi Tarjeisdotter, wife of Sondre's son, Torbjørn.
          4.   In 1674, Torbjørn bought out the mortgaged property from Olav Nikulson, who was the husband of Knut's daughter, Gro.
          5.   In 1684, Torbjørn moved to Svalastoga and the farm passed on to Torbjørn's son, Tarjei.

Matrikkelen 1615 fortel at steborna til Tarjei Åsland åtte 2 tn 2 mK og at Tov Sandåk hadde 4 mK i garden. Dei var blant arvingane etter Ingebjørg S.Felland så ho hadde nok hatt Ringestoga og.

Bygningsskattelistene 1617 til 1619 omtalar Knut på garden. Det er uråd å seia når han var brukar, desse listene er som regel ikkje heilt til å lita på.

Tarjei Ormson var komen til garden frå Åsland 7 ikring 1618. Han var gift med ei enkje og hadde med ho arv i Ringestoga (2 tn 2 mK), Rovshus (1 tn 2 mK) og S.Felland (4 mK). I 1624 åtte dei og 1 tnK kjøp i Byrte (Midtgarden) and 4 mK pant i Sandåk. Sjølv åtte Tarjei 2 tnK i Åsland, ½ tnK i Skredtveit og 1 tnK i «Flottin» (Floten i Lid?).

Me finn Tarjei fleire gonger i kjeldene. Han var ein av arvingane etter Olav Halvorson Moghus i 1622 og han vart stemna fleire gonger i saka om jordegodset i Åsland og Midjås. I 1629 stemna Tov Sandåk og Steffen S.Felland han på vegner av stesonen avdi han bruka Ringestoga. Tarjei hadde ikkje rett til garden som var arv etter godmora Ingebjørg Felland. Trass i dette så vart han verande her. I 1630åra var han den einaste i Mo sokn som er ført som jordeigande odelsbonde i lensrekneskapane, 8½ tn 2 mK åtte han. På den tida døydde Tarjei og enkja sat nokre år som brukar av garden. Ho heitte Margit Olavsdtr og var truleg frå Tveito i Vinje. Før 1645 flytte ho til versonen på Åse 6 og er nemnd odelseigar fram til 1651 med 3½ tn 1 mK i Ringestoga og 1 tn 2 mK i S.Felland.

 
English translation

The 1615 Matrikkelen [tax roll] tells that the stepchildren of Tarjei Åsland had 2 tn 2 mK and that Tov Sandåk had 4 mK at the farm. They were among the heirs after Ingebjørg S.Felland died so she probably had had Ringestoga also.

The bygningsskattelistene [The building tax lists] from 1617 to 1619 mention Knut at the farm. It is impossible to tell when he was the farmer, these lists are as a rule not completely reliable.

Tarjei Ormson had come to the farm from Åsland 7 about 1618. He was married to a widow and had, with her, inheritance at Ringestoga (2 tn 2 mK), Rovshus (1 tn 2 mK) and S.Felland (4 mK). In 1624 they also had 1 tnK purchased-property at Byrte (Midtgarden) and 4 mK mortgaged property at Sandåk. Tarjei himself had 2 tnK at Åsland, ½ tnK at Skredtveit and 1 tnK at «Flottin» (Floten in Lid?).

We find Tarjei several times in the sources. He was one of the heirs after Olav Halvorson Moghus died in 1622 and he was sued several times in lawsuits about land property in Åsland and Midjås. In 1629 Tov Sandåk and Steffen S.Felland sued him on behalf of his stepson because he used Ringestoga. Tarjei had no right to the farm as it was inheritance after their grandmother Ingebjørg Felland died. In spite of this, he was able to remain here. In the 1630's he was the only one in Mo parish who is listed as landowner by allodial rights in the sheriff's book, 8½ tn 2 mK he had. By the time he died Tarjei and his widow had been for some years users of the farm. Her name was Margit Olavsdtr and she was probably from Tveito in Vinje. Before 1645 she moved with her son-in-law to Åse 6 and is called allodial owner up to 1651 with 3½ tn 1 mK at Ringestoga and 1 tn 2 mK at S.Felland.

I 1646 kom det ein dom på Triset-tinget at Mari Jonsdtr måtte vika til Haugehåtveit etter kontracta og skiftebrevet frå 1632. Ho kom då til gards att i 1647 med mannen Talleiv Mikkelson og sonen Knut Knutson Haugehåtveit 4a. Truleg bruka dei halve garden kvar. Det var Sondre Svalastoga (2 tnK) og Laurits Johanson (1 tnK) som åtte Haugehåtveit det året. Knut Knutson åtte jord i Ø.Bergland og dels i Skattør og «Håtveit». Han panta i 1655 bort 1 tnK i garden til Kristi Tarjeisdtr Åse for 147 rd. Dette kom opp på tinget i 1668 då Talleiv hadde flytt til Bjåland att. Han meinte at Knut ikkje kunne selja jorda då mora ikkje hadde gjeve samtykkje. To vitne kunne fortelja at ho hadde gjeve samtykkje. Mari Jonsdtr sjølv var gamal og svak og kunne ikkje koma til tinget i 1668. Same året vart Gunstein Tveiten i Setesdal dømt til å betala 40 rd som Knut Knutson skulda Vetle Storåsli. Talleiv Skafså hadde teke pant i Ø.Bergland for desse pengane.

 
English translation

In 1646 there was a judgment at Triset-tinget [the Triset hearing] that Mari Jonsdtr had to leave Haugehåtveit as a result of her contract and the probate record of 1632. She then came back to the farm in 1647 with her husband Talleiv Mikkelson and her son Knut Knutson Haugehåtveit 4a. They probably used half the farm each. Sondre Svalastoga (2 tnK) and Laurits Johanson (1 tnK) had Haugehåtveit that year. Knut Knutson had land at Ø.Bergland and parts of Skattør and «Håtveit» [Haugehåtveit]. In 1655 he mortgaged off 1 tnK of the farm to Kristi Tarjeisdtr Åse for 147 rd. By the time this came up in court in 1668, Talleiv had moved to Bjåland. He believed that Knut could not sell the land as his mother had not given consent. Two witnesses were able to say that she had given consent. Mari Jonsdtr herself was old and feeble and was not able to come to the court in 1668. It was the same year Gunstein Tveiten of Setesdal decided to pay 40 rd which Knut Knutson owed Vetle Storåsli. Talleiv Skafså had taken a mortgage on Ø.Bergland for this money.

N. 1661-1683  

Torbjørn Sondreson Svalastoga (1634-Sk.1708) frå Grungedal kom til garden frå Åse 8 ikring 1661. Kona hans heitte Kristi Tarjeisdtr og ho fekk pant i 1 tnK i Haugehåtveit frå Knut Knutson i 1655 for 147 rd. Dei betala Gunnar Bjåland 20 rd for at Talleiv og Mari skulle få bruka 1 tnK i Bjåland. Vidare betala dei og 20 rd og 2 vårkyr for å koma inn på Haugehåtveit. Utanom denne garden åtte dei og jord i Tortveit, Nedgarden, Onsaker, Åmli og Lien, totalt 2 og 1 kvart tnK. Talleiv Bjåland stemna dei i 1668 for bruken av Haugehåtveit. Det kom til ei semje om at Torbjørn skulle betala 36 rd til for garden, men etter at Mari Bjåland var død, måtte arvingane betala pengane att.

Torbjørn Sondreson hadde sjølv rett til Haugehåtveit. Far hans, Sondre Oddson Svalastoga åtte jord i garden før han. Me har ikkje spora korleis dette var, men bumerket til Torbjørn var heilt likt det til Halvor Haugehåtveit 3.

Torbjørn kjøpte ut Olav Nikulsson i 1674 for 100 rd og vart då eineeigar til heile garden. I 1677 selde han ½ tnK i Hærstad til Rolv Gunleikson Hærstad for 60 rd. Dette må ha vore arv som Gunhild Olavsdtr Haugehåtveit fekk etter Gro Gunleiksdtr Hærstad ved skiftet i 1669. Tre år seinare var han med i ei sak om Fiskemostrand i Vinje saman med Steinar Nylende.

Ikring 1684 flytte Torbjørn til Svalastoga, men vart i 1706 stemna av Nikuls Olavson Homme som ville løysa Haugehåtveit. Det kom då til at Nikuls skulle ha 150 rd for odelsretten. Torbjørn og borna hans fekk ha garden.

 
English translation

Torbjørn Sondreson Svalastoga (1634-Sk.1708) from Grungedal came to the farm from Åse 8 about 1661. His wife's name was Kristi Tarjeisdtr and she got a mortgage on 1 tnK at Haugehåtveit from Knut Knutson in 1655 for 147 rd. They paid Gunnar Bjåland 20 rd so that Talleiv and Mari would get the use of 1 tnK at Bjåland. In addition they also paid 20 rd and 2 spring cows in order to get Haugehåtveit. In addition to this farm they also owned land in Tortveit, Nedgarden, Onsaker, Åmli and Lien, totally 2 and 1 quarter tnK. Talleiv Bjåland sued in 1668 for the use of Haugehåtveit. An agreement was reached again that Torbjørn would pay 36 rd for the farm, but after Mari Bjåland was dead, the heirs had to pay the money back.

Torbjørn Sondreson had himself rights to Haugehåtveit. His father, Sondre Oddson Svalastoga owned land at the farm before him. We have not a clue how this was, but a bumerket [signature mark "X" of an illiterate person] of Torbjørn was quite similar to that of Halvor Haugehåtveit 3.

Torbjørn bought out Olav Nikulsson in 1674 for 100 rd and was then the sole owner of the entire farm. In 1677 he sold ½ tnK of Hærstad to Rolv Gunleikson Hærstad for 60 rd. This must have been inheritance that Gunhild Olavsdtr Haugehåtveit got at the estate settlement in 1669 after Gro Gunleiksdtr Hærstad died. Three years later he was involved in a lawsuit concerning Fiskemostrand in Vinje together with Steinar Nylende.

Around 1684 Torbjørn moved to Svalastoga, but was in 1706 sued by Nikuls Olavson Homme who wanted to unencumber Haugehåtveit. It then was decided that Nikuls should have 150 rd for the allodial rights. Torbjørn and his children acquired the farm.
