Han overtok hele det store eggegodset i 1722. Han og Berit hadde 7 barn som vi vet om: Ola 1711-1788 på Egge, Nils 1714- på Garvik, Barbro 1720- gi 1747 m Jøger Eriksen Høyme, Marit 1724- gi 1748 m Jens Jakobsen Moen, Torstein 1727- på Øyraker, Ha lvard 1729-1808 på Lome, og Anne 1733- gi 1755 med Andris Engebretsen Klukkargardn. Ola var ikke så påholden som vanlig er for bønder i Valdres. Han var raus og levde kanskje på en litt for stor fot. Omkring 1724 brant hele gården ned. Ola bygde den straks oppigjen, men da alt sto ferdig var det også slutt på velsdtanden, og han hadde stor gjeld på gården.

The burial record states that it is Ole Olsen, not Ole Nielsen of Egge. However, in the Vestre Slidre bygdebok for Egge, pages: 431-439, there is no record of an Ole Olsen who lived there during this time who might have been this age. Therefore, I will assume that it is meant to be recorded as Ole Nielsen, since he was alive at the time his will was written in 1740, he would have been the right age, and he did live in Egge and was buried in Lomen like his wife

The parish burial record states that it is Ole Olsen, not Ole Nielsen of Egge who was buried on 7 April 1748. However, in the Vestre Slidre bygdebok for Egge, pages: 431-439, there is no record of an Ole Olsen who lived there during this time who might have been this age. Therefore, I will assume that it is meant to be recorded as Ole Nielsen, since he was alive at the time his will was written in 1740, he would have been the right age, and he did live in Egge and was buried in Lomen like his wife.
