Now Tore Tysvær still owned Ole Gundersen a remaining 8 Riksdaler (silver coin) which was to come from Ragnhild, the wife of Jon Danielsen. And with this all the land parcels were compromised. So in 1683, Jon summoned Nils Eriksen of Skåre. The wife of Jon, Ragnhild, owed 23 Riksdaler (silver coin) because her first husband Knut Årvik who was brother of Nils, owed 1 intelligence yearly fee for leasing land in Ytre Amdal. Jørgen Storhaug and Kolbein Tysvær were witnesses. Østen Lervik said that Knut lay sick 7 years ago and Ragnhild borrowed 20 Riksdaler (silver coin) from him in order to pay Nils Falkeid - "He is mad but will have the money, we have redeemed his goods ", stated Ragnhild.

136. Daniel RASMUSSEN,13 son of Rasmus OLSEN and Kathrine KANSDTR, was born in 1616 in Rennesy, Ryfylke, Rogaland, Norway 13 and died in 1667 in Fosen, Avaldsnes, Karmoy, Norway 13 at age 51.
Daniel born in 1616 in Norway. He died in 1667 in Fosen, Avaldsnes (Karmøy), Norway. "in Avaldsnes, then Hapnes, later Sande in Hjelmeland" & "baliff in Hetland skibrede 1666-67." (Slooper book, p 410a)
Daniel and Malene lived first, from 1639, on the farm Hapnes in Vikedal district (Viking coastal defense unit), which Malene's father had previously leased for the use of the children. They used also Dokskar somewhat further up in the valley from 1642. (Both Hapnes and nearby Dokskar are on the south side of Yrkjeforden and north of Nedstrand.) Later they also leased Hamn down by the fjord (probably the Hamn in Skjold on the east side of Skjoldafjorden?). It was the king which owned these farms. For Daniel it was surely the "overflow sawmill" at Dokskar that was of greatest interest. (This was probably a sawmill that could be used only in the spring when there was enough water available.)
They lived at Hapnes until 1665. Then they moved to Sande in Hjelmeland which they had bought in 1652. But in 1666 Daniel made an equal exchange with the priest at Hjelmeland, Jens Simonsen Morsing, which was married to a daughter of Gudmund and Marta Fosen (earlier owners of the Fosen farm). Daniel obtained all of the Fosen farm that had been left to Jens' wife. In exchange, Jens got property that had belonged to Daniel in Sande, Lerstøl (Larstøl) and Kro (all in Hjelmeland). Daniel and Malene moved then to Fosen and took over whole the farm, but in the following year, in 1667, was he found dead in the meadow. When Daniel died, his estate included the farm property in Fosen plus property in Vestre (in Skjold), Seltveit (in Jelsa), Tjørdal (possibly Tordal in Tysvær?) and Øvreland (in Vikedal). After Daniel's death, Malene married the next farmer to take over the Fosen farm. Daniel was sheriff in Hetland Viking coastal defense unit (which got its name from the Hetland farm just to the east of Fosen - according to Tysvær Vol. 1).
There is some disagreement regarding Daniel's parents. The Slooper book indicates that his father was Rasmus Haakonsen Hapnes who was mentioned in Vikedal in 1603. The Bygdebok for KARMØY: AVALDSNES II, indicate that his parents were the Rev. Rasmus Olsen from Rennesøy and his wife Katrine Johannsdtr. He was married to Malene Jonsdtr. RAUNES (RÖGENES).

272. Rasmus OLSEN was born before 1550 in Norway and died on 6 Mar 1616 in Rennesy, Ryfylke, Rogaland, Norway.
Rev. Rasmus Olsen RENNESØY The Slooper book indicates that the father of Daniel Rasmussen (b. 1616) who lived first in Hapnes, then Sande, and then died as owner of the Fosen farm was a man by the name of Rasmus Haakonsen Hapnes. However, the Bygdebok for KARMØY: AVALDSNES II, indicates that this Daniel's parents were the "presten" (minister) Rasmus Olsen from Rennesøy and his wife Katrine Johannesdtr. He was married to Katrine JOHANNESDTR..
Rasmus married Kathrine KANSDTR in 1600 in Hauske Presteg., Rennesy, Sjernary, Rogaland, Norway. Kathrine was born in 1554 in Norway.

274. Jon VILLUMSEN, son of Villum JONSEN and Ragnhild OSTENSDTR, was born in 1590 in Stavanger, Rogaland, Norway and died in 1662 in Raunes, Vats, Vindafjord, Rogaland, Norway at age 72.
Jon Villumsen Raunes (Rogenes) was born in 1590 in Stavanger, Rogaland, Norway. [Slooper book has birth 1597; Vats bygdebok has 1590.] He died in 1662 in Raunes, Vats, Vindafjord, Rogaland, Norway. Citizen of Stavanger, Norway, 1620-28; bailiff in Vats skibrede 1641-63. (Slooper book)
In 1626 he receives the mortgage of "21 sm 2 huder" (value of land indicating size and worth) of Raunes for 300 Riksdaler (silver coin) from Gerlef Nettelhorst. In 1628 he gave up his citizenship in Stavanger and probably took over Raunes from Oluf Torgersen (the previous farmer here). When Jon bought Raunes, he probably got the right of inheritance to the farm, such as is recorded for him in 1649. Then the rights to inheritance or "odelstida" was 30 years. As he bought the farm in approximately 1628/30, he settled securely at "odelsjorda" ("freehold" = land held under allodial law) in 1660. In the 1660 "odelsjordeboka" (rights of inherited land book) he is mentioned as the owner of the farm. Berge Velde believes that Jon managed a lumber business (tømmerhandel) with a Scotchman (skottane). It was quite common in Ryfylke at the time. In 1641 he (Jon) was sentenced for illegal commerce (kjøpmannskap) that he divided/partitioned the year before, this being when be bought, with four others, 500 barrels of grain from a Scot. He himself had bought 15 English barrels of beer for 75 Riksdaler (silver coin) and silk cloth for 6 Riksdaler (silver coin). It is natural (?) to see this as a sort "compensation" for tømmerhandel (lumber commerce). The same year he was sheriff ("lensmann") and he was until 1661. In 1653 he summoned Ole Kyle of Sjernarøy for 1/2 "laup" (unit of value) rent in Kyle farm for whole 26 years. (Records indicate that) He had the many purchases and sales of property throughout these years. In 1657 he paid 16 Riksdaler (silver coin) in sheriff's tax. Only one sheriff in Ryfylke had such a large tax.
It must have been a big wedding ("storbryllaup") in 1623 then he married. Jon's father was subpoenaed (or taken to court) to pay for 2 barrels of beer which Jon had ordered for his "festarøl" (marriage engagement celebration)! (Jon apparently had not paid for the beer.) Jon's widow stayed at Raunes until she died about 1673. That year she gave the mortgage to her grandson (son's son) Nils Larsen. In 1663 she had Knut as a servant, the following year was the boy Tjerand Olsen, 30 years old, and Peder Torbjørnsen 24 year old bachelor. In 1666 she had her daughter's son (grandson) Laurits 7 years with her.
It was a sawmill (water powered) but probably not lumber in 1661 (that was Jon’s business). The timber was for the most part bought in Suldal, "approximately 8 Norwegian miles (1 = 11295 m) from there". At the sawmill they could cut 300 planks. In 1668 they planted/sowed 12 barrels of grain and raised 36 heifers and 3 horses (on this farm). There was a grain mill and firewood lot for home use. Then is it said it could cut 2000 planks every year at the water powered sawmill (these usually functioning best or only during high water in winter and spring). Also it is now written that the timber must "be purchased from afar." The abandoned farm Kalrag is mentioned under Raunes, it lays on the other side fjord with/near Stokka. At the farm was a "husmannsplass" (small leased farm house or cotters place), "kaldis Wigen." (Vats, pp. 43-44)
Jon married Magdalena LAURITSDTR.
The child from this marriage was:
