Olav Eielson Lindeland

There are some unsubstantiated, and rather speculative, claims at Geni, and elsewhere, that the father of Marit Asbjørnsdatter Skibeli, i.e. Asbjørn Olsen Skibeli, was the same person as Asbjørn Olsen Kvinlog-Øvre, the son of Ole Eielsen Kvinlog-Øvre. This is not correct. There is no mention of such a family connection in "Sirdal bygdebok" Bind 5 (pp.110-111) or in "Fjotland: Gards- og ættesoge" (p.427). The former source does in fact state that he was born at Bakke farm, at Bakke. The latter source does mention Ole Eielsen Kvinlog-Øvre and his son Asbjørn, and states that this son Asbjørn was mentioned in 1664. That is indeed correct. The 1664 Manntall lists this Ole Eielsen (76 years old) and his son Asbjørn (13 years old) at Kvinlog-Øvre. The 1664 Manntall also lists Asbjørn Olsen (60 years old) at Skibeli; see: Sogneprestenes manntall, 10-02-1664, Fogdenes og sorenskrivernes manntall, 12-05-1664, and Fogdenes og sorenskrivernes manntall, not dated. Thus, these are two different persons with the same first name and patronym, but living in different communities, at the same time, with an age difference of about 47 years.

Lindeland, heile garden. Det var nok noen døtre til. Garden blei delt likt mellom Andres og Mari, og Lindhom fekk ei anna dotter. Olav blei enkjemann og gift att med enkje Adlaug Hansdtr. Josdal. Olav åtte 2 engelsk i Li i Gyland, så Adlaug var kanskje derifrå. I 1664 er det ein Halvor Toreson hjå han.

LINDELAND
Lindeland was an abandoned farm under Seland and in 1617 was settled by the people of Olav Eielson Øvre Kvinlog. The old Lindeland must have lay west of the river. The farm was in two parts before 1701. The table below shows the properties in 1707 and 1727:
Tax for engelsk (old land measurement)
Lnr. Farmer 1707 1727
671 Olav Joson 9 63/4
669 and 670 Per Tollakson 4 1/2 63/4
672 Per and the son Eiel 4 1/2 4 1/2
In the tax records of 1707 we only find a tax debt for Per Tollakson who is mentioned above. He has therefore half of one of the old farms. It naturally follows then that the other Per had an equal sized farm in 1707 and with his son Eiel in 1727, and therefore had the other half of the one old farm. The third farmer, Olav Joson, must then have had the other old farm undivided. In 1727 he and Per Tollakson agreed to make the farms equal in size.
One might believe that Olav was too poor to be able to redeem the bond of 9 Engelsk (old land measurement). There are circumstances supporting that suggestion. In 1743 it was only the farmer of "lnr 672" who was an owner. The two others didn't own anything at all (Fjotland II, page 87), and in addition to this is the fact that the two farms of 6 3/4 English had a joint deed. The auction sale took place in Kristiansand in 1727 and the registration of ownership was issued in 1730.
All the small huts and cabins were lost 1801 in fires on all the farms, but the outer buildings were saved.
The whole farm.
Olav Eielson Øvre Kvinlog 1586-1680
We know of these children:
1. Andres Lindeland, mentioned 1645-59, died before 1661.
2. A girl, married to Olav Sørenson Lindhom.
3. Mari Lindeland, probate 1698.
4. Siri Krågeland, mentioned 1661.
There probably were a few more daughters.
The farm was divided between Andres and Mari, and Lindhom had gotten a daughter Anna. Olav was a widower and married and left with widow Adlaug Hansdotter Josdal.
Olav owned 2 engelsk (old land measurement) at Li in Gyland, so Adlaug was probably from there. In 1664 there was a Halvor Toreson with him.

Lindefjell
5. Olav Eielson øvre Kvinlog 1588 - about 1665.
He lived at Lindefjell 1612-17 and 1621-27. In 1618 is his brother Knud there. In 1611 and 1620 one finds Olav at Kvinlog. We therefore conclude that Olav got Kvinlog and Knud Lindefjell.
