Biography

Tormod was born at Foss in Hjelmeland about 1535, and was the son of Ola Jonson Tøtland and Siri Oddsdatter Fevoll.[1]

He married the widow Anna Ormsdatter Byre about 1580.[2] Their children were:

  • Peder, born about 1581, lived at Foss[2]
  • Jon, lived at Vatland in Jelsa[2]
  • Birgit, may have been married to Jakob Knutson Jørstad at Sjernarøy[2]

Tormod was a representative for Hjelmeland at the hailing of the king in Oslo in 1591.[2]

Research Notes

His daughter Birgit is not mentioned in the Vats farm book or in the Sjernarøy farm books, which pertain to her supposed husband Jakob Knutson Jørstad. She is mentioned in Slektene Velde og Espeland og inngiftede slekter, but with no mention of a husband.
