Anders Olsen born 1795

Anders Olsen

Anders Olsen Saltvig died 26 Jul 1868 at the age of 75 years. [1868 - 75 = 1793]

From the 1865 census we learn that Anders Olsen is 72 born in Leksviken (Leksvik), Nord-Trøndelag, Norway.

[1865 - 72 = 1793]

Anders and Pauline went to Kolveried in 1863; they are both listed as age 68.

[1863 - 68 = 1795]

No age is given on their return to Ytterøy.

They were married on 11 Dec 1817 at which time he is listed as age 22.

[1817 - 22 = 1795]

There were eight Anders (Andreas) Olsens born between 1789 and 1800. I can find all of them either dying, leaving Leksvik, or married in Leksvik except Andreas Olsen born 1794 to unmarried Ole Pedersen and Elen Pedersdatter Grande.

I can find one Anders Olsen being confirmed but not christened in Leksvik. Ole Andersen and Karen Ingebrigtsdatter moved to the Bueashaug farm between 1798 and May of 1800. With them is a six year old child named Anders Olsen. Perhaps he was so young when they moved to Leksvik that he didn’t realize he was not born there.

The Gårds- og Brukerhistorie Mosvik by Svein Berg, (Mosvik : Mosvik kommune/ /Bygdebaknemnda, 1994), Bind I, gårdsnummer 1 - 13, page 201 states that he was from Dretvik. The Anders Olsen born at Tronvig in 1796 is the only one found with a connection to Dretvik – his mother was born at Dretvik; he moved from Leksvik to Frosta in 1818 along with his brother Colbanus [Source: Arkivverket Digital Arkivet for Leksvik in Leksvik 1816-1825, page 557, #2.] and married Synne Olsdatter 1833 in Frosta [Source: Arkivverket Digital Arkivet for Frosta 1827-1839, page 172, #5.]

Any of the Anders Olsens could have spent time at Dretvik as a servant boy or as a soldier.

Anders Olsen and Pauline Pedersdatter where married in the Mosvik church, Ytterøy, Nord-Trøndelag, Norway. Translation: Soldat Anders Olsen Nedre Troset age 22 is a tjeneste dreng (service boy) and pigeen Pauline Pedersdtr Langaunet age 23 treneste pige (service girl) married 11 December 1817. Wittness: Jacob Arntsen Langaunet and Niels Pedersen Nordvig. [Source: FHL Film #0125450, pt 2, (bk 6, Mosvigen sogn 1817-1842), pg 373, #6.]

From the Gårds- og Brukerhistorie Mosvik by Svein Berg, (Mosvik : Mosvik kommune/Bygdebaknemnda, 1994), Bind I, gårdsnummer 1 - 13, we learn the following:

Anders was a soldier and servant boy in Troset nedre. Pauline lived on Langaunet. Anders was from Dretvik in Leksvik. (page 201).

After Anders and Pauline were married in 1817, they cleared the land for Skavelsveet which was under Fjellheim G.nr 6, B.nr 8. (page 214- 215)

They were living at Brattreit (G.nr. 6 - Br.nr.4) when their second child, Maria, was born in 1820. (page 205)

Anders and Pauline’s family is listed as living at Lien (G.nr. 6 - Br.nr.2) which is a farm under Skavlen (G.nr. 6) from 1820-1833. (page 200)

Between 1842-1863, Anders and Pauline are at Selveiertiden under Saltvik østre (G.nr. 7 - b.nr.1)

The following is a summary of page 225:

Anders Olsen b. 1793, married to Pauline Pedersdatter b. 1794.

Anders got the deed to the whole farm in 1842 from Elen Olsdatter and Jakob Jakopsen administrator of the deceased’s estate and bought the farm for 700 spesiedaler. ...[about the financing]...

Anders had previously lived both in Saltvikhavn, in Skavleslien and thereafter on Nordvik (Nordvig) g.nr. 40 in Ytterøy.
