b. 1682 at Tveito, d. 1759 at Tveito. Inherited the farm and prosperity from his father in 1717. He soon started buying land, and he became part-owner of many farms: Vinja, Skjold, Öyno, Övernes, Flåte, Skjeldal, Berge - to name a few. The prices of land kept rising, however, and after a short while, Hallvard was ready to sell. In his old days he did away with almost everything; when he died, he only owned a share in Eikemo and a strip of woodland in Åkrafjorden. Within the parish he started lending out cash.

The estate on 7/17/ 1759 shows total assets of 800 rdlr. Of this amount abt. 220 rdlr. were loaned to people in Åkrafjorden, Etne and Indre Ryfylke. 204 rdlr. in cash were found on the bottom of the chest! The estate further lists a number of silverware and "Sunday" clothing, among which a "gold-plated box over 100 years old," an 8-oar boat and a boathouse, in the water and at Kyrping. Also mentioned are 7 tunner of seed grain and a summer herd of 4 horses, 3 pigs, 12 cows, 3 oxen, 9 heifers and calves, 46 sheep and 28 goats.
