General Notes:
Rolf Olsen var født 1732 og døde plutselig om morgenen den 13. sept. 1802. Han var gift med Ragnhild Henriksdatter Grøtvedt, født 1736, død 1801. Der var 3 barn: Marthe, Olea og Iver. Olea efterlot sig såvidt vites ikke noen slekt.
Rolf Olsen arvet Kolstad og må ha vært en driftig og dyktig jordbruker. Ved sin død var han en velstående mann, der satt gjeldfritt på sin gård og enda hadde penger utestående. Han gav datteren Marthe i hjemmegifte 1 ko, 2 svin, 1/2 td. rug, 1/2 td. byg, en overdyne, en underdyne, hodepute og 20 riksdaler i penger. I skiftet efter ham gjorde Iver og Olea krav på det samme hjemmegifte og fikk det naturligvis også. --- Skiftet gir videre oplysninger om de utgifter som pålå en gård i de tider. De var: Almindelige skatter, prestetiende, lensmannstoll, klollertoll, bygdevektertoll, sundtoll og skolepenger.
