Knut Nilsson Nomeland - 1600-1670 ???

[Murray Rystead]

Hello,

Could someone please translate the information regarding Knut Nilsson Nomeland?

Also interesting that Mikkel Knutsson Nomeland has a bumerket. Would that be found in the property documents or is that too far back to find?

Thanks

Something like this:

It seems as also Birgit was dead before 1648, since that year her sons, Orm and Mikkel Knutssøner, sold this property

to Knut Nilsson for debt their mother owed to him, with 24 1/2 rd ("riksdalar") in addition. They did this on behalf of

themselves and their non-major sister, who is not named.

The tax registry of 1647 show two holders at Nomeland, Stein with 2 1/2 h ("hud") and knut with 1 1/2 h.

Whom Knut was married to, is unknown, but we know the name of a son and a daugther - and perhaps two more sons:

 

K. N. M. b.approx. 1600, d. after 1670

wife unknown

Children, at least:

1 Olav b aprx 1644. See below.

2. Anne, mentioned 1706, married to Knut Gunnarson Sordaø (Southern Sordal, Austad parish, bnr. (holding No.) 1.)

?3. Asbjørn b aprx 1658, lived 1666, destiny not known.

?4. Nils b. aprx 1662, lived 1666, destiny not known.

 

It is likely that Asbjørn and Nils Knutssøner, who are mentioned in the vicar's census 1666, 8 and 4 years old, are sons of Knut Nilsson. Nothing more is known about them.

 

It is not known when Knut died, but he is listed as the owner of 1 1/2 "hud" in Nomeland in 1670.

His son Olav followed him at the holding, it seems.

Everyone (mature male) had a "bumerke".  They used it as a signature, or in addition to a signature.

Knut apparently signed some preserved document with it, since it is known.

It could, for instance,  be a deed of transfer (copied into the "pantebok" or original preserved in a family) or he could act as a court withness

(e.g. as a withness to an agreement of some kind), found in the "tingbok".

Thank you Ivar :)

The next page talks about Knut Nilsson Nomeland's son Olav Knutsson Nomeland.

If possible, could you tell what is being said about him? Looks like Olav had 4 sons. That's all I can understand and it also looks like his son Olav Olsson Nomeland has a bumerke as well that looks like a " #" .

Thanks
