"Lunds historie" states that Ansten Ånensen Tjellesvik had two children in his I marriage: Ole Anstensen, born 1728 [i.e. 5 years after the death of his supposed mother!]; and Torjus Anstensen who was married and lived at Nedre Myssa, Sokndal. See: https://www.nb.no/items/931a4ffb452f6a2306de08a17b4d6987?page=142.
This is not correct. Both of these two sons were born to his II wife, whom he married about 1724. According to the probate after his I wife (dated 07-05-1723), she left behind one child, named Torjus, who was 10 months old at the time of the probate, thus born about July 1722. Yet, this is not the same person as the Torjus Anstensen who lived at Nedre Myssa, Sokndal. The latter (Torjus d.y.) was baptized 24-04-1729. The former (Torjus d.e.) is not mentioned in later sources, and it seems likely that he died at a young age, as it was the oldest son in the II marriage (Ole Anstensen) that took over the Tjellesvik farm. If Torjus d.e. had been alive, he would have had the right to take over the farm. It seems likely that Torjus d.e. died before the birth of Torjus d.y.
