   Other names for Kirsti were Kirsten and Tømt.

Conflicting information in the same source shows her as 26 years old in 1801 and 70 years old when she died in 1840.

Kirsti married Poul Erichsen on 15 Oct 1798 in Askim, Østfold, Norway.¹ (Poul Erichsen was born in Feb 1756 and died on 27 Feb 1814 in Askim, Østfold, Norway.) The cause of his death was accidental drowning [druknet uforvarendes] in Glomma River.

In 1805 Haraldstad was taken over by Anders Larsen Hielmarch. ^{1 3}
