The text below the list in the screenshot says that "#5 (Knut) moved to Åmotsdal (lit. "Åmot valley") and found a wife there (Jårån/Jøran). The cousins Knut P. and Halvor moved to Åmotsdal, Knut and Jårån moved to Rollag later (early 1820s). They died at north Vamre in the care of the Poverty Commission. Why Knut and his cousin Knut O moved to Åmotsdal we don't know, but there was work (jobs) to be had there".
