Mass was the son of Torbj'f8rn Gauteson Dal of Hov in Fresvik, Sogn, who was of Dal lineage. Mass came to Voss in the 1660s. He first worked for the priest Gjert Miltzow, and was married to the widow Johannes Sverkveson between 1670 and 1686 and therefore became the farmer at S'e6ve. He was born in 1645, married a second time in 1703 to Ingebj'f8rg Larsdatter Uppheim from Vestibygdi, and a third time to to Torbj'f8rg Nilsdatter Midtun. He died in 1715. Mass was the sheriff in Voss from 1686 to 1706. For a salary between 1696 to 1699 he earned 4 riksdaler (1 riksdaler = 4 kroner) annually. In 1921 his descendants erected a memorial stone of mass on S'e6ve. With Ingebj'f8rg he had six children. The descendants have spread out all over Voss. Mass got the territory with is first wife, purchased in 1707 from Klas Miltzow.

Torbj'f8rg, Mass’s widow, lived on the farm with her husbands until her stepson, Torbj'f8rn Masson took over. Torbj'f8rn was married to Gudve Knutsdatter Raustad, who was a descendant of the Miltzow family. In 1761 he bought S'e6ve and became the owner of the entire farm. Torbj'f8rn and Gudve had nine children.

In 1764, Mass Torbj'f8rnson received part of S'e6ve from his father. He married D'f8n'e5t Nilsdatter Sonve and had five children. In 1769 Gudleik Torbj'f8rnson received the other part of S'e6ve from his father. He married Eli Nilsdatter Gjelland in 1776 and had seven children. The youngest daughter, Maria, married Brynjulv Hovde. The two of them are our ancestors.

Gudliek’s oldest son, Torbj'f8rn, received half of his father’s share of the farm in 1807 and the remainder in 1822. He married Ingjerd Vikingsdatter Gjerme and had six children. Two of their sons, Viking and Nils, divided the farm and each received one half.

Viking married Brita Torgeirsdatter Brekku and had six children. One of their sons, Torbj'f8rn Gudliekson, bought the farm from his parents in 1880 for 2800 kroner. Torbj'f8rs sold the farm in 1911 to Lars Person Skjelde for 5000 kroner.

Nils married Eli Oddsdatter H'e6ve in 1846. They moved to America and sold their share of the farm to Ivar Andersson .

Mass Torbj'f8rnson’s son, Knut Masson, received his inheritance in 1801. He died unwed in 1837. His sisters, Mari and Gudve, divided the estate between them. Mari’s husband, Per, sold their half to their second son, Mass for 800 spd. in 1845. Gudve and her husband, Arnfinn, sold their share to him in 1846. Mass married the widow Rannveig Torbj'f8rnsdatter Leiddal in 1847. They had no children and sold the farm to Mass Styrkson S'e6ve.
