Seems to me that the cemetery list contains a mistake.
Assuming that the different blocks belong to separate families.
Block 1-228
OLSON, Holver (Bergsland) Husband of Syrena Tine Olson
OLSON, Syrena - Severine Tine Wife of Holver Torkelie Olson should be Holver OLSON, (Bergsland)
OLSON, Gustave (Barsland) Son of Holver & Syrena Olson
Block 1-086
OLSON, Halvor (Torkelie) Husband of Anna Torkelie
OLSON, Anna 'Olsdtr' 'Tokelie' Wife of Halvor Torkelie Olson
OLSON, Ole (Tarkeli) Son of Halver Torkelie & Anna Torkelie Olson. |

Many of the immigrants changed name in America, some to the unknowable.
The Norwegian Bjaaland /Bjåland do not sounds like Bjåland in English pronunciation, the letter AA or todays Å is pronounced as a long ÅÅÅÅÅ, like OA in boat.
To avoid all the questions ab. how your name was spelled Halvor changed lastname to Bergsland.
Just a thought.

Census-1860 for Clayton, Winnebago, Wis:
Halver Oleson m 35 Norway
Tina Oleson f 29 Norway
Ole Oleson m 5 Wisconsin
Simon Oleson m 4 Wisconsin
Gustave Oleson m 2 Wisconsin
Helena Oleson f 10m Wisconsin
Census-1870 for Clayton, Winnebago, Wis:
Halvor Olsen M 45y Norway
Sevina Olsen F 39y Norway
Ole C Olsen M 14y Wisconsin
Samuel Olsen M 13y Wisconsin
Gustus Olsen M 12y Wisconsin
Hellen Olsen F 10y Wisconsin
Deedrick Olsen M 7y Wisconsin
Otis Olsen M 3y Wisconsin
I'm starting to believe that Halvor Olavsson/Olsen Bjåland is the right person, and that he married Severine Tine Christianson in Clayton between 1850-1855.
There is however a struggle to connect him to a place called Bergsland.
The closest so far is the birth of his cousins. Two cousins of Halvor seems to be born on a farm named Bergland under main farm Houkom/Haukom in Kviteseid, Telemark.
Anne Halvorsdr b. 1836 Bergland, d. Bergland 1850.
Auver Halvorsen b. 1840 Bergland, to America 1852.
The distance between Bjåland and Bergland under Haugom seems to be ab. 12 miles.

OLSON, Gustave (Barsland) Son of Holver & Syrena Olson
Also from the Grace Lutheran Cemetery list:
Simen L. OLSON born 1857 born 14 Jan 1933, son of Halvor Torkelie & Syrena Tine Olson
I did check further and found no basis for "Torkelie" in this family, so it is likely a mistake in the cemetery list. The other Halvor Olson (born 1817) did not have a son Gust or Simen and these two appear to be sons of Halvor (born 1824) and Syrena.
Here is a little note about a history book focused on the area and its Norwegian immigrants - one of the authors is a Christianson:

Probably it was not only good memories from Bjåland and it seems like the father Ole Bjørnsen and 6 of 9 children were born there.
This familyline goes back to 1609 and Asbjørn Bjåland
Bjåland was split in two farms 1827.
Owner of each farm was the two brothers Ole Bjørnsen and Halvor Bjørnsen b. 1788, but the debt to Tarald Torsen was so big that both farms were sold on auction same year.
After several dif. owners was "Halvor Bjørnsen farm" G.70 bnr 1 bought by Saamund Svennungsen in 1844.
Halvor Bjørnsen Bjåland b. 1788 em. to America with wife and 3 children 1852.
Bjåland G. 70 nr 3.
Ole Bjørnsens farm was taken ower 1826 by Tarald Torsen but it seems like Ole Bjørnsen leased the farm until ca 1831 when a son Bjørn was born.
1856 Aslak Knudsn bough the farm.
I believe its Ole Bjørnsen age 52 who died April 14. 1844 as "Inderst" a relative to the owner on a subfarm under Holtene #24
Bergland/Bergsland is an old farm in Kviteseid mentioned 1588.
Source; Kviteseid Bygdesoge by Olav Bakken published 1962
Much of the same info Jan Peter has, no connection to Stensland.

A curiosity;
Saamund Svennungsen who bought Halvor Bjålands farm 1844 and his wife Hæge Johannesdatter em. 1868 to America with 8 children.
Only a daughter Gunnhild stayed and bought the farm.
She married Ole Olsen Hustveit.
On March 5. 1873 they became parents to Olav Bjaaland
On dec. 14. 1911 on the South Pole Olav Bjaaland was photographer when this photo was taken.
