Rolstad, J.E.S. (fra Fron ?)

[gj09661]

Dear Sir, Madam,

On the tankart of Gerhard Daae in Maihaugen is the name "J.E.S. Rolstad" enggraved.
He owned the tankart after Jesper Heiberg Daae (1795-1834) after Gerhard Daae, Joachim Knagenhjelm Daae and Jesper Heiberg Daae. This Jesper was married with Hennige Jacobine Coucheron (1806-19..).
Who is this J.E.S. Rolstad?

I thank you in advance,
Sincerely,

Anders Daae

Rolstad is a farm name in 6 different places in Norway in the 1801 cencus. digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/WebCens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=5&filnamn=f1801&gardpostnr=13561&merk=13561#ovre

So it would be natural to think that this person was from one of these farms. Since Maihaugen is situated in Oppland fylke, maybe he was from Rolstad in Christians Amt, prestegjeld Fron. Christians Amt was the old name for Oppland.

Mvh

Hei!

J.E.S. Rolstad was may be born on a farm indeed with the same name, but he bought the tankard of the family Gerhard Daae from the Coucheronfamily. (see my first mail)
He must have enough money to do that.
What were his Christian names:Johannes Edvard Sigmund? I am gambling now! Was he married? And so there are more questions. What was his relation to the Coucheronfamily?Or was the selling of the tankard a question of auction by the Coucherons?
Where can I give his a place in the genealogy
So far my replay.
Thank you!
Anders Daae

More speculations:
J(ohannes) E(riks) S(on) Rolstad in Fron? http://digitalarkivet.no/cgi-win/WebCen ... =2900#ovre
Please also note that that the name Coucheron very much related to the Gudbrandsdal and Fron area as there were many Military officers by that name serving in Military Companies in Fron and south Gudbrandsdal district:
Here are a few:
Capt. Hans Philip Coucheron serving in Gudbrandsdal 1722-1731
Col. Iver Coucheron serving 1711-1722
Liutenant Iver Otto Coucheron served 11819-1822 and a couple more.
Only speculations!
