Thank you for finding this. That has to be our Martha in Vikedal and our info must have been wrong re: Hetland Kirke or Hetland Parish.
Perhaps she was married to Gabriel Hill (Americanized name) in Hetland Parish? I see that Hetland Kirke was Vår Frues Kirke in 1854.

Thanks! I think I will look into their farm histories next and see what I find. Maybe there will be still-living family members some of whom might be on a slektsforum or something. I did that with success for Tjøstheimgård where Dad's morfar came from. Since JD Hill (Daniel Johan Gabrielsen) and wife Carolina Langager visited Norway to see her parents in 1911, there is a chance that he may have visited his own relatives too.
