Ole Knutsen Kolstad ^{1 2 3}

  General Notes:

In 1728 Engebret Nielsen sold 15 lispd. of the Nordre Kolstad farm in Askim to Sjøfar and Ole Knudsen for 200 rdl. They divided the farm between them. Their father, Knud Halvorsen, had been leaseholder of Kolstad for 25 years, so they weren't new to the farm.

He was married to Siri Rolfsdatter Aaser... They had 4 sons: Rolf, Mathias, Iver and Knut. The last died as a child.

  Medical Notes:

He wasn't quite 49 years old when he died.
