Marthe Rolfsdatter Kolstad 3 4 5 6
Other names for Marthe were Marthe Rolvsdatter Øvre Torp and Marthe Torp. General Notes: Marthe Rolfsdatter var en søster av Iver Rolfsen Kolstad. Hennes mann Peder Hansen Torp var altså 26 år eldre enn Marthe. Ingen husker noget videre om henne, hun blev isttende som enke i mange år og har kanskje ofte følt sig ensom. Et par småhistorier, som fortelles om henne, synes å tyde på det. Sønnene giftet sig inn på andre gårder i bygden, og hun blev alene på Torp. Riktignok flyttet brorsønnen, Hans Iversen, inn der da han giftet sig, han hadde den ene ende av bygningen og Marthe den annen, men de hadde vel ikke videre omgang med hverandre. Rimeligvis har Marthe hatt føderåd på gården efterat Hans overtok den. Marthe og Peder Torp hadde 3 sønner. Research Notes: She was recorded as 48 years old when she married Ole Andersen. 2 Marthe married Peder Hansen Torp on 22 Nov 1779 in Askim, Østfold, Norway.1 (Peder Hansen Torp was born in 1735 in Torp, Askim, Østfold, Norway, died in 1813 in Torp, Askim, Østfold, Norway and was buried on 8 Jan 1813 in Askim, Østfold, Norway.) Marriage Notes: They married six years after Peder's first wife died. Marthe next married Ole Andersen Graf on 20 Jan 1818 in Askim, Østfold, Norway.2 (Ole Andersen Graf was born circa 1777.) Marriage Notes: On 20 January 1818 Ole Andersen of the Lille Mørkved farm in Askim married widow Marthe Rolvsdatter Øvre Torp. He was 40 years old and (according to the source) she was 48. She actually would have been about 57 in January 1818. 7 |
