Tormod Olson var utsending fra Hjelmeland til hyllingen av kong Kristian 4. i Oslo i 1591. Han hadde en sak oppe på Herredagen i Bergen i 1599. Motpart var Strangi Jørgensen, fogd over Munkeliv klostergods, og striden gjaldt eiendomsretten til ødegården Vik under "Westbystad" i Sunnhordland. Tormod mente at han var rettmessig eier av denne gården, men han tapte i retten.

NB: (???) Bbok Hjelmeland-1 s.226 sier at Tormod giftet seg med enken Anna Ormsdtr ca 1580 og at de bare hadde barna Peder, Jon og Birgit, alle født etter den tid.

Tormod giftet seg med Anna Ormsdatter, datter av Orm Ånensen Byre og (usikker kone) Nn Ivarsdatter, ca 1555 i Hjelmeland kirke. (Anna Ormsdatter ble født på Byre, Fister, Finnøy og døde ca 1614 på Foss, Jøsneset, Hjelmeland.)
