Ole Eriksen Aas

A short time after 1701 the farmer at Gammelgarden, Peder Ellefsen moved to Stuedal Nedre. Both Ostbyhaugen and Gammelgarden were now driven together for a period, and the registries of 1712 and 1714 they are listed as one farm. Ole Eriksen lived at Ostbyhaugen while Jens Jonsen lived a Gammelgarden. From 1721 Jens is shown as sole farmer of Gammelgarden. It is somewhat uncertain who this Ole Eriksen was. Together with him at Ostbyhaugen was a Jon Olsen. From all evidence they were father and son and both were presumed to have come from Aas. Ole could have been a brother of Ole Eriksen (b. ca 1650) at Ustgarden. Another possibility is that Ole Eriksen at Ustgarden was the same Ole who took over Ostbyhaugen. In that case he must have been married twice, The first time with Kjersti (or Kirsten), see Ustgarden and the second time with Anne "from Ostby." Her origin is uncertain. After Ole's death about 1720, the registry of 1721 states that a widow ran both Ustgarden and Ostbyhaugen. According to tradition it was this Anne and her daughter-in-law Ingeborg who were taken along as hostages by Armfeldt's soldiers during the retreat over the mountains at New Year's 1719. Ingeborg had recently had twins. She and Anne were released up in the mountains the first day and came home safely. But a brother of Anne's, probably Lars Jonsen Ostby froze to death at Essansjen along with manyof the soldiers who had forced him to be their guide. The soldiers had helped themselves to everything they could find of food and equipment at Ostby and from Ole Ostbyhaugen, according to the damage appraisal, they took 8 tonner barley, 30 loads of hay, 1 horse, 9 cattle and 17 small livestock in addition to farm tools and clothing. The damages were assessed at 94 riksdaler 2 ort in all. Anne and Ole had as far as we know these children: 1-Jon (died 1760) the next farmer and married twice, see below. 2-Einar (1702-1791) married Ingenorg Larsdtr., see Lovsen. 3-Erik (1705-1773) married Ragnhild Larsdtr. Stuedal (1721-1793) See Stuedal Nedre. Translated from Tydal Bygdebok.
