I am trying to find out any information on Mads Olsen Graaten. He dies 17 apr 1800 on the farm Søndre Graaten. I am wondering if he is mentioned in the Flesberg-boka. Takk!

Mads startet at Sølvverket 14 years old and married Maria at Kongsberg in 1753. He has used Bråten as surname, but also Modum, where he was born in 1719 and confirmed 1736.
