Webjørn SVENDSEN Waal

The Vål entry in the Kråkstad bygdebok provides some helpful information on Webjørn SVENDSEN Waal and his family:

. . . dennes sønn Vebjørn Svendsen får bygselbrev 1760 på første halvdel og i 1786 også på annen halvde, så han dermed har hele gården; 1761 g. m. Gunhild Svendsdtr. Sørum. 6 barn:

1. Vebjørn, var skoleholder 1797-1807 (I. s. 329), kom til Brekka, kalles gjerne Vebjørn Brekka. 2. Margrete, g. m. Hans Jensen Molbech Asgjerrud. 3. Gunhild, g. m. Fredrik Svendsen Opsal. 4. Agar, gift til Bjerke i Frogn. 5. Anne Kirstine, g. m. Osmund Andersen Eldor, Ås. 6. Sophie, g. m. Andreas Rød, Kroer.

Da gården 1820 blev utlagt som chefsgård, for det follaugske kompani, flyttet den gamle bruker Vebjørn Svendsen til sin svigersønn på Rød i Kroer, der han døde 1824. [Østlid, Vol. 2, p. 48.]

. . . his son Vebjørn Svendsen received the lease 1760 on first half and in 1786 also on the second half, so he therefore had the entire farm; 1761 married to Gunhild Svendsdtr. Sørum. 6 children:

1. Vebjørn, was school teacher 1797-1807 (v. 1, p. 329), came to Brekka, generally calls himself Vebjørn Brekka. 2. Margrete, married to Hans Jensen Molbech Asgjerrud. 3. Gunhild, married to Fredrik Svendsen Opsal. 4. Agar, married to Bjerke in Frogn. 5. Anne Kirstine, married to Osmund Andersen Eldor, Ås. 6. Sophie, married to Andreas Rød, Kroer.

When the farm in 1820 was plotted at chief's farm, for the “follaugske” company, the old farmer Vebjørn Svendsen moved to his son-in-law at Rød in Kroer, where he died in 1824. [English translation by Verla Williams.]
