Biography

Origin unknown.

Jacob Olsen is recoded as of Knaplund at his 1st wedding, and Kapstøen when he marries his 2nd wife, Karen, who is from Seivåg (Kapstøa is a farm just below Knaplund at Saltstraumen). With the marriage to his second wife, Jacob acquires land at Seivåg from her first husband. At the priest's census of 1749, a Jacob Olsen is recorded in Seivåg living with his wife Karen Jørensdatter, and her three children from her first marriage.[1]

Married #1 on 15 Jul 1745 to Valborg Pedersdatter from Bakksund, Ner-Knaplund (1718 - 1747).[2] No known children.

Married #2 on 24 Nov 1747 to the widow Karen Jørgensdatter Braad.[3] Children:

  • Daniel (1749 - 1819), m. to Berit Jeremiasdatter
  • Ingeborg (bap. 10 Oct 1751, d. 26 Aug 1780), m. 30 Oct 1777 to Jon Hansen, Seines[4]

Jacob Olsen Seivåg died on 4 Aug 1782, age 72.[5]

Notes

Jacob Olsen is a widower at his wedding in 1747. The engagement protocol lists their names as "Jacob Olsen Kapstøen (widower) and Karen Jørgensdatter Seivåg (widow)".[6]

His 1st wife, Valborg, was baptised on 29 Sep 1718, the daughter of Peder Knudsen, a smallholder from Knaplund, and his wife Marn Olesdatter.[7] Valborg was buried on 26 Feb 1747.[8]

The wedding of Jacob and Valborg is recorded on 15 July 1745, and the engagement was listed on 1 July. At both, Jacob is stated as of Knaplund. At the engagement the sponsors are Erich Schanche Knaplund and Hans Pedersen Knaplund. That would be Erik Jakobsen Schanke (~1706 - 1760) of Ner-Knaplund, and most likely Hans Pedersen (d. 1759) from Øver-Knaplund. No obvious relation here.

Godparents of Daniel:

  • Peder Pedersen, Seivåg, m. to Kiersti Hansdatter
  • Nils Pedersen, Seivåg, m. to Berit Størchersdatter
  • Anders Olsen, ibid
  • Martha Joensdatter, ibid
  • Ane Jacobsdatter, Knaplund, widow in 1749, w. son Peder Pedersen

Godparents of Ingeborg:

  • Nils Pedersen, Seivåg (again)
  • Jacob Troens: Strømvig, m. to Ingeborg ...
  • Ane Jacobsdatter, Knaplund (again)
  • Ane Jonsdatter, Gomnes (age 23 in 1749, daughter of Jon Johansen and Ane Christensdatter)
  • Susanna Olsdatter, Seivåg (age 51 in 1749)

The probate after Jacob is recored on 17 Aug 1782. It only mentions his two wives and the son Daniel. Thus, Ingeborg died without heirs.[9]
