   Other names for Syprian were Syprian Brynhildsen Årstad and Syprian Brynilsen.

  General Notes:

Syprian was from the Årstad farm in Trøgstad. In 1839 Syprian exchanged farms with Paul Pedersen and so acquired the Tovengen farm in Askim.

The Gårdshistorie shows his year of birth as 1782 but the census for 1801 shows him as 10 years old. His year of birth was probably 1792 considering that the census also shows an older sister at 20 years of age, born ca 1782. ⁴
