Kjetil Eivindson Aslestad came to Bilstad in 1583 after a trade of real estate with Halvor Herjusson. He himself was from Bilstad 1 and perhaps brother-in-law to Halvor. Kjetil is named lensmann [sheriff] in Fyresdal in 1593 and 1594 and was used a great deal as a lagrettemann [juror]. Already in 1603 he had land in Bilstad, Kolkjøn, Bondal, Grimdalen, Fjalestad, Lauvvik, Seltveit and Dall. He paid over 4 rd in taxes for these 14½ tn 8 Mk. In 1611 he had only Bilstad, Fjalestad, Dall and Lauvvik, 6 tn 5 mK. The 1624 allodial land book shows 3 tnK at Bilstad, 3 tnK at N.Bondal, 1 tn 2 mK at Lauvvik and 4 mK at Dall; all was allodial. Kjetil's wife was perhaps from Rygnestad in Valle. Their son, Eivind, was written of in a 1649 document together with Folke, Knut, Olav and Gunnar Olavson of Brottetveit about their «foreldre» [fathers] Tarjei Rygnestad and Olav Brottetveit. They had traded allodial property about 60 years earlier so that Tarjei would have half of S.Rygnestad and some field and pasture. Olav received two parts of Brottetveit.

Kjetil died around 1636. That year it says in the lensrekneskapane [sheriff's account] that Kjetil is dead and his property divided between the heirs. The division of the inheritance may perhaps suggest that he was married two times. Birgit must have been from the first marriage.

Vetle and Halvor used [Kolkjøn] before we find Knut there in 1609. Knut owned all of the farm, 4 tnK, in 1615. Kjetil Bilstad 3 had Kolkjøn in 1603, so Knut was probably one of his sons.

Knut died about 1622 and his widow Jorunn had the farm for many years. In 1624 she and her children owned allodial property at Kolkjøn and Breivik (½ tnK) and purchased property at Breivik (½ tnK) and Tveit (1½ mK). It is difficult to make any clear sense about descendants, but after the distribution of the land property we can guess at some.
