Biography

Norwegian Native
Halvor Andersen was born in Norway
This profile is part of the Solum, Telemark One Place Study.

Halvor was born in 1791 at Brattebakke under Bergan, Melum.[1] He was the son of Anders Clausen Bergan / Brattebakke and Mari Halvorsdatter Leirodden.[1][2]

In the 1801 census at Gjærum, Melum, the 10 years old Halvor Andersen is listed with his stepfather Halvor Andersen and his mother Mari Halvorsdatter.[3]

He was confirmed on 5 October 1806 in Solum.[4]

He married Kirsti Brynildsdatter Svea (daughter of Brynild Andersen Svea and Ingeborg Larsdatter Bø) on 20 June 1814 in Solum.[5]

Probably — at least to some extent — due to his romances and three illegitimate children, things went badly for Halvor. He became heavily indebted, and in 1825 he was eventually evicted from his tenant farm. Erling Gjærum tells that on the day of expulsion, Halvor was not at home, and it was raining. The furniture was put outside in the rain and the doors were sealed. The neighbours thought it was a disgrace to treat property this way.[6]

He died on 12 September 1850 at Dolva, Melum.[7]

8 children are known:

  1. Maren Halvorsdatter, born out of wedlock on 22 August 1812, her mother Ingrid Tovsdatter Kaalstad.[8]
  2. Anders Halvorsen, born out of wedlock on 23 July 1814, his mother Birgit Pedersdatter.[9]
  3. Anders Halvorsen, born on 2 September 1814.[10]
  4. Claus Halvorsen, born on 21 February 1816.[11]
  5. Karen Halvorsdatter, born out of wedlock on 4 September 1818, her mother an unidentified Anne Christensdatter.[12] Died young.
  6. Kirsti Halvorsdatter, born on 20 September 1818.[13] Died young.
  7. Halvor Halvorsen, born on 17 December 1820.[14]
  8. Maren Halvorsdatter, born on 26 June 1823.[15] Died young.
