Since John Tarjesen was 53 years old when he and his son Knud and daughter Maren left for America in 1853, I looked for his birt/baptism approx 1800. Also when John Tarjesen, Storedal and Ingeborg Ansteensdatter were married in 1821, John was said to be 23 years old, birth approx 1798.
Note that I said a "candidate" for John could be the one born in Vinje. More research is needed.
