Webjørn GUNDERSEN Skotbu

We can be reasonably sure of Webjørn WEBJØRNSEN Waal's paternal line going back five generations from the Vål and Skotbu farm histories. In Kråkstad: En Bygdebok, M. Østlid wrote:
Var kirkegods, hørte til Mariakirken i Oslo, og hørte senere med til kanslerens len. 1643 byttet kansleren Jens Bjelke gården til kronen, mot Kjølberg i Asker. Skotbu blev da i regnskapene slått sammen med Nonneklosterets gods, og var krongods til 1699, da fikk Vebjørn Gundersen kongelig skjøte på gården; hadde brukt den siden 1688; † 1732. Barn Tor (til Vål), Ole, Svend, Johannes, Randi, Gundhild, Barbara. ["Skotbu," Vol. 2, p. 126.]

Was church property, belonged to Maria Church in Oslo and belonged later to the chancellor's fiefdom. 1643 the chancellor Jens Bjerke traded the farm to the crown; for Kjølberg in Aker. Skotbu became then in the record books together with convent's property and was crown lands until 1699; then Vebjørn Gundersen got royal deed to the farm, had farmed it since 1688; died 1732. Children: Tor (to Vål), Ole, Svend, Johannes, Randi, Gunhild, Barbara. [English trans. by Verla Williams.]
Østlid further stated under his history of the Myrer farm that Webjørn GUNDERSEN Skotbu's father, Gunder, was using the Myrer farm around 1690:
Som nevnt ovenfor hørte i middelalderen en liten del av gården til Kråkstad kirke og prestebol; i nyere tid var gården proprietærgods; i 1647 tilhørte den Maren Kaxrud på Eiker. 1690 tilhører den Maria de Rochling på Kambo og hennes svigersønn på Egedius Grot. Bruker på den tid var var Gunder Myer [sic]. Dennes sønn Vebjørn Gundersen (Skotbu) fikk skjøte på gården omkr. 1700. Selger den 1719 til Rasmus Helgesen († 1740) og hustru Ingeborg Vebjørnsdtr. († 1738) for 205 rdl. ["Myrer," Vol. 2, p. 124.]

As mentioned above, in the middle ages a small part of the farm belonged to the church and Kråkstad prestebol; in recent times the farm was proprietary goods, and in 1647 belonged to Maren Kaxrud on Eiker. In 1690 it belonged to Maria de Rochling of Kambo and her son-in-law Egedius Grot. User at the time was Gunder Myer. His son Vebjørn Gundersen (Skotbu) received title deeds to the farm perimeter in 1700. Selling in 1719 to Rasmus Helgesen († 1740) and his wife Ingeborg Vebjørnsdtr. († 1738) for 205 rdl. [English trans. by Google and Mark D. Williams.]

We discover a little more about this Webjørn from Trygve Vik's Kråkstadfamilier på 1700-tallet, which is available online at the Ski Slektshistorielag website. It lists three wives for him: Anne Torsdtr, Randi Olsdtr, and Ingeborg Olsdtr; as well as his parents, Gunder Svensen Stokstad, Tomter, and Barbra Vebjørnsdtr Grønlund. Until we find some further corroboration we may assume that Gunder Myrer and Gunder Svensen Stokstad are the same person.
