Herbrand Gislesen Ørstein, the family-tree is probably from the "Bygdebook" for Flesberg, 7 volumes, link
He bought farm Evju in Sandsvær from Daniel von Hellenbach in 1682 for 470 RiksDaler

Halstein Torgiersen was from one of the two Lehovd farms in Flesberg.
In the map's window, create a distance between Nedre and Lehovd when searching
Kåre
Thank you again, I was able to locate the Lehovd farm near Flesberg on the map. So fun to find such deep roots in the Sandsvaer area. |

In 1392 Gunnulv Haavardsson sold a part in Grosvold to Bishop Eystein. In Bishop Eysteins "Røde bok" Farm register from 1395 Grosvold was written Gratzuallom, in 1577 Gressuoldt, 1595 Graadtzuold.
On the other Grosvold farm, it was ca two arrow-shots between the farms, it was acc. to the farm register in accounting book 1577-78 for the County a Niels Grosvold who accidentally had killed a priest. The reason is not mentioned, perhaps he was partowner in Hedenstad church? (many churches were owned by farmers)
Acc. to local oral saga the priest had began to ring with the bells before Niles has taken his place in the church. Perhaps this degenerated after the ceremony...........
In 1585 after a year in freedom he was arrested by Christen Munch and executed and the farm was taken over by the king, called "Krongods" (owned by the crown)
After 1615 a new owner arrived.

1614-15 in Tønsberg court house Christopher Arnesen Loftstuen was judged to hard penalties for having slain Lauritz Bagstevold. He was judged to pay 23 1/2 RiksDaler to Lauritz heir's and 27 RiksDaler to he king. Farm Bagstevold is ca one Mile from Lofthus. Farm Loftstuen was owned by Commandant in Eiker parish Hartvig Huitfeldt, and he sold Loftstuen to the crown, and Christopher got leasehold on the crown's "Krongods" farm Grosvold and changed name to Christopher Grosvold. Christopher also owned a part in Brende.
Approximately 1623 Christopher and a friend Arne Værp was arrested by the sheriff in Skien town in Telemark for selling silver, and after harsh interrogation they were forced to tell where they had found the silver.
Acc. to the Saga it was their children Helga Værp and Jacob Grosvold, b ca 1610, while they were looking after the livestock in the hills west of currant Kongsberg the bull had removed some moss on a rock they saw some blinking which the told their fathers. They found out it was silver, they removed it and brought with them to Skien to sell. This place bapt. "Kongens Gruve" The king's mine, by king Christian 4th a late day in April 1624, ca 342 meter above where the tourist train goes.
Already Oct. 18. 1823 the mining started.
Jacob was the first employed apprentice in Kongsberg Silver Mines and ended as vice formann in "Englischer Gruss Mine" in 1648 with a salary on ca 10 RiksDaler a month. Also Jacobs father Christopher Grosvold was employed in the Silver mines.
As neighbors your Nils and his family must have known Jacob and Christopher Grosvold well.
1647 Grosvold saw-mill was used by the Silver Mine Company, and as rent they were exempt to pay taxes.

You're welcome.
You must have relatives all over Sandsvær with relationship to so many farms.
Do you have the family-line between Sergeant Torsten Hansen Grosvold 1784-1862 and his forefather Niels Grosvold b. ca 1600? If not I can show it here.
