Iver Olsen Ofstad, 40 år i 1701

[Kolbjørn Harald Blix]

Er det noen som kan si noe om den Iver Olsen som bor på Ofstad i 1701? Han nevnes med 2 sønner; Ole Iversen er 11 år og tjener på Hukkelås, mens lillebror Lars Iversen er 6 og boende på gården.

Jeg finner ingenting om denne familien i bygdeboka for området i Børsa

Jeg er klar ver at det finnes flere gårder i Trøndelag med dette navnet, men i manntallet i 1701 er Børsa anneks anført.

Dear Kolbjørn,

It doesn’t seem like this Ole Iversen is the one we’re looking for. He married in Børsa in 1717:
https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/327/pv00000001698133 It doesn’t list the groom’s residence, but one of the witnesses is Hans of Ofsta. It seems like this is probably the Ole Iversen from that farm in the 1701 census. I have also found a child, Berette, baptized to Ole of Ofsta in 1718 in Børsa: https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/16268/50629/30
This may have been our Ole Iversen if he became a widower and moved to
Målsjøen, Klæbu. However, there is no daughter named Berit in his probate record. Also, this particular Ole Iversen did marry a woman named Maren and our Ole Ivarsen’s only known daughter was named Maren, which does follow the Norwegian naming system. It does seem unlikely that this is our guy…
