[Gjest Laila Stivimoen Foyn]

Peder Olsen eller Per Olavsson f. ca. 1770 og død 14 mars 1849 Geirsand i Seljord. Han ble gift 3 ganger i Seljord og fikk 8 barn. Det står i ættesoge for Seljord nr. 4 at han var fra Holla? Hvem var hans foreldre?

Olav Pederson b. 1746 at Runningen, d. 1818 at Manheimskosi, married 21 Feb 1775, Gunnhild Halvorsdtr Bruhoug, b. 1752 at Bruhoug in Flatdal. They had these children: 1. Peder, bp. 27 May 1776 at Runningen. Wit: Johannes Christenson Vasmoen who had home bap'd the baby, Andres Olavson Verpe, Kari Klausdtr Grave, Margit Olavsdtr Brekke & Gunnhlid Torsdtr Bjonndal. 2. Eivind Olavson bp. 18 Jun 1780 at Runningen, d. 8 Oct 1780. Wit: Svein Verpe who home bap'd the baby, Guri Olavsdtr Brekke, Margit Andresdtr NyØydegard, Aslak Olavson Hestoul (sp?), Halvor Kjetilson & Gunnar Olavson Verpe. Baby died of smallpox. 3. Margit Olavsdtr, b. abt 1789 in Bø. 4. Jon Olavson (probably) b. abt 1791 in Bø. 5. Halvor Olavson, another probably born in Bø. He's called Halvor Olavson Kosi in 1809 when he married Ingerid Gunnleiksdtr. 6. Aslaug Olavsdtr, another probably born in Bo, she married in 1809 to the widower Knut Olavson Glosimot. She's called Kosi when she marries, which is probably Manheimskosi.As you can see, some of these children are speculative, but the names fit. More importantly your Peder Olavson is in the Seljord church records.The old Seljord book does suggest that the family was from Bø.I hope this is of some help,Mary Farrell

Thank you for your answer, but I am not sure this is the right Peder. It says in the churchbook that he was 79 years old when he died in 1849. That should prove that he was born abt. 1770. This is also in line with the censuses in 1801 and 1815. When he married first time he is called Peder Olsen Brekke.

However, if you take another look at Peder's burial record, you will see that he died at 75, not at 79. Certainly, this is still a couple of years off from Peder Olson Runningen's christening record. Then look again at the names of his daughters. He had an Else in 1798 who was named for Margit Nilsdtr's mother. Then in 1807, he had a Gunhild who died. And in 1808 another Gunhild. Those two would have been named for his mother.I don't have the new Seljord book. Does Odd Karlberg say why he thinks that Peder came from Holla?Mary Farrell

Born: 1 Halvor ca. 1789-, 2 Jon ca. 1791-1808. Gunhild g II 1820 med Andres Andresson Verpe.'

Jeg kan ikke finne noen passende Peder Olsen i Holla. De to som kommer nærmest er Peder Olsen Hougen og Peder Olsen Kragefet, begge født i 1766.Førstnevnte vet jeg ikke mere om, men hans mor het Karen. Nummer to ble gift 11. okt. 1798 m. Berthe Pedersdatter Saugen.Dette med alder ved død er ikke så korrekt oppgitt altid, så jeg tror nok jeg ville holdt en knapp på forslaget til Mary Farrell!Nils..........
