Paul Andersen ^{2 3 4}

   Another name for Paul was Povel Andersøn Trosterud.

  General Notes:

"Det stabiliserer seg mer på Bakker da Paul Andersen flytter hit fra Trostebekk i begynnelen av 1790-åra. I folketellingen 1801 står det at Paul er vanfør og har en pensjon på 16 rdl. Da han ble begravet i 1812, er han i kirkeboka kalt 'en gammel Holstener'. Paul var sikkert blant de norske soldatene som var med i 'toget til Holsten' 1757-62. Ved forskjellige anledninger er han betegnet korporal og sersjant. Paul kan ha blitt skadet i krigen."

When he died his age was recorded as 76 years 4 months 2 weeks and 4 days.
