Year 1705  Bjorn Gundersen Koppseng (Redalen) bought Askerud and Dignes farms in Modum. Even got Dignes and brother Asle got  Askerud. Askerud is still in the familie. This two Farms are neighbours. 6 miles from Vikersund,  East side of Lake Tyrifjord. N.B. Believe Even was born at his fathers farm, Lower Redalen in Krødsherad. Or was it Kopseng farm in Sigdal (Nedre Eggedal) ? Married second time, date 3/10-1726 to Lisbeth Eriksd. born Amunderud, their children - Erich - Christoffer - Karen - Gunhild og Catrine (twiins)--- (Even at Dignes 4.2.1737 protokoll 7c page 539) This day Even's belongings was counted for and splitt. Lisbeth lived at Dignes after Even's death, until she   and here children moved to Hovde. She had married the owner Ole Jensen Hovde 1/7-1742, Ole was then an older man. Ole died in 1943, Lisbeth inherited Hovde. In year 1759, Lisbeth divided the rather big farm into three parts. Erich, Christoffer and Cathrine got each a part. Karen had married Nils Christoffersen the owner of Groterud, Nils is also the brother of Anders that married Cathrine. Groterud  farm is neighbours to Hovde. Gunhild had died seven months old, and where buried 6/24-1737, seven months after father Even died. I, Roar Hovde has Christopher Evensen as forfader. Evens first wife was Inger Ellingsd. Oppegård, she died in 1725, Believe they had four children, Gunnar Evensen, (half brother of Christopher) took over Dignes after Lisbeth moved to Hovde. I have read that Gunnar became a rich man, not only from farming, but controlling timber transport to the Silver mines in Kongsberg. He was also owner, and part owner in several farms in Modum. It took almost 3 years to sort out his estate.
