Jacob was called as a regular teacher and preceptor for the East and West Lemonweir congregations and began his duties on October 22, 1882. Halvor Johnson provided for Jacob and his family until they were permanently settled in Fountain Township. Jacob and Theodora joined the West Lemonweir Church. Jacob taught the Lutheran catechism and the Norwegian language and served for about 22 years (resigning because of age). Jacob served 56 years as teacher of the Lutheran faith. The Norwegian school was a wooden building about 18 x 30 feet in size. It had one door, which was in front, and three windows on each side. There were two rooms, a cloak room in the front and the school room itself. The teacher's desk was in the front and the wood heater was about 10 feet back, with black stove pipe to the chimney on the back of the building. The desks were behind the stove. Jacob and Theodora had a farm in sections 31 and 32 (120 acres) in Fountain Township. Mendus Western recalled that Jacob was a large man with a full beard and wouldn't hurt anyone. He had false teeth that clicked whenever he talked. Jacob came over every evening to get milk and they always visited with him in Norwegian. Jacob always smelled of peppermint, popular candy of the day. Return to Johnson Ancestor Chart.

John and his family sailed about May 22, 1844 on the Industrie from Porsgrunn, Telemark (In the East Lemoweir Church records John is listed as emigrating in April 1844 from Solem). The Industrie arrived in New York on July 31, 1844 after a voyage of 71 days. They settled, first, in Deerfield Twp (Dane Co.) WI. John and his second wife were among the earliest settlers in Juneau County. They came to Lindina Twp, Juneau Co., on July 6, 1852, or in 1850. In 1888, with his third wife, John settled on section 9 on land owned by Charles Johnson. John sold his farm to Williams of Mauston and moved to Fountain Township, on the farm owned by Andrew Rosland. He lived there a number of years and then moved to Clifton Twp, Monroe County.

I:706, Maristova Det heiter seg at Petter Kramer kom til Bergen, frå Wismar. Til Lærdal kom han alt, i 1648, men tok borgarskap i Bergen i 1659. På den måten fekk han friare hender til å driva bymessig nærings-verksemd. Han gjekk i gang som "gast-gjevar" på Lærdalsøyri, - der han likevel er kalla strandsitjar i 1666. I 1673 er Petter Kramer kommen på Maristova. (Her det samband med nye signal om ei framtidig opptrapping av fjellstova etter innføringi av eineveldet i 1660?) Om familien til Kramer veit me om ein son, og at kona hans heitte Margrete Kjeldsd. Ho hadde og ei syster som heitte Anna, og budde i huset deira nede på Øyri. Petter Kramer skulle elles ha hatt ei dotter som var gift med "Rasmum i Bolten" - båtsmann i marinen. ("Bolten" har truleg med "baltisk" å gjera - han var såleis i Østersjøen) [English] It is said that Petter Kramer came to Bergen, from Wismar. He came to Lærdal in 1648, but took a permit to trade in Bergen in 1659. In this way he got free hands to operate a city-like business activity. He started as innkeeper at Lærdalsøyri, - there he anyhow is called cotter with property in 1666. In 1673 Petter Kramer came to Maristova. (Here it connection with new [signals] about a coming upgrade of the mountain cottage (fjellstova=Maristova?) after introduction of a dictatorship in 1660?) We know that Kramer had a son, and that his wife was called Margrete Kjeldsd. She had a sister who was called Anna, and lived downstairs in their house at Øyri. Petter Kramer should or else have had a daughter which was married to "Rasmum in Bolten" - boatswain (bosun) in the navy. ("Bolten" has probably with "[baltisk]" to make - he was thus in Østersjøen).

Under odelskatten 1624 er ført opp til skattleggin for "Effuind Omland och hans medarffuniger": ... Pantegodset i Homdrom hadde Eivind fått i pant frå Telleiv Furland. Noe av odelsgodset var nok pantsett, også i Åmland. I Åmland åtte Austenåfolk vel 3 ks i 1624. Gunnar Pederson Jordkjenn i Holt åtte same året 1 hud + 3 ks pantegods, og bror hans, Halvor Hanto, åtte likt. Gunnar og Halvor hadde arva etter broren, Jon Kvåstad, som var død var 1614, og Jon hadde ei tid før sin død fått dom om dette godset i Åmland. Utigjennom 1600-åra er det born av Gunnar og Halvor som står som eigarer. Når tid godset blei løyst av odelsfolket på Åmland er ikke klårt. Kor mange som var rekna med som Eivinds medarvingar i 1624 veit vi ikkje. Truleg var også arvingane etter Nere Tjostolvson med her, og kanskje det au hadde vore endå fleire born etter Tjøstolv - og nå born etter dei att som var medeigar. Eivind Åmland er i ei skatteliste for 1629 skrive for øydegardsmann, kanskje han alt då hadde gjeve frå seg mesteparten av bruket. Frå 1640 finn vi Salve Eivindson, som då sat med 2 huder. -I Fyresdalsboka av Bendik Veum heiter det at eldste sonen av Kjetil Eivindson Aslestad kom til Gjøvdal og blei far til Salve Åmland. Dette kan snaut vere rett, ut frå det kjeldestoffet som er å finne i Gjøvdal. Derimot er det godt truleg at her var kvinneleg ættline bakover til Fyresdal. I lista frå 1624 var nemnt m.a. gods i Åmland, Harstveit, Valebjør og Vrålstad. Partar i same gardar åtte Ulvild Eivindsdtr. Homdrom. Ho måtte vere søster til Salve. I åra 1650-1670 er nemnt 3 Eivindsøner som har partar i Åmland: Olav Eivindson Homme, Mikkel Eivindson smed "paa Lund" og Nere Eivindson Selberg. At desse var brør til Salve Åmland ligg nær å tru, men sikkert er det ikkje. Det kan likevel nemnast at Nere Selberg var g m Asjer Gunnarsdtr. som var halvsøster til Salve Åmlands kone, Kirsti Gunnarsdtr. Salve Eivindson brukte i 1640-åra 2 huder, som han sjølve åtte. Med Salve er vi på trygg grunn, både når det gjeld etterslekt, eige og bruk i garden. ... [see Kirsti translation] I 1645 blei det utferda eit brev om at Auvor Tallakson Groven i Eidsborg, med samtykke av svoger Knut Berge i Eidsborg, sel til Salve Åmland i Gjøvdal: "Vik i Nesbø i Birtedalen." Før 1670 skifta Salve til sonen Gunstein f 1655. Her var au ein Eivind Salveson f 1658, men han selde ifrå seg til Gunstein i 1688. Etter Salve og Kirsti var det skifte i 1685. [Rough translation] After Tolvs time we find land divided between Eivind and Vrål, with 2 huds {on/at} each. It can not be doubted on that they were sons of Tolv Tjstolvson. Here {could}[only?] {good} have our many child without that we know anything apparently on it. Under [odelskatten] 1624 is listed up to [skattleggin] for "Eivind Omland [och] his [medarffuinger]": ... (list of farms) A mortgaged estate in Homdrom had Eivind got in deposit from Telleiv Furland. Any of the inherited land was surely mortgaged, also in Åmland. In Åmland owned [Austenåfolk] {well} 3 ks in 1624. Gunnar Pederson Jordkjenn in Holt owned the same year 1 hud (old land measurement) + 3 ks mortgaged estate, and his brother, Halvor Hanto, owned same. Gunnar and Halvor had inherited after the brother, Jon Kvåstad, whose death was 1614, and Jon had for a while before his death got judgment (opinion) on this the estate in Åmland. [Utigjennom] 1600's is it child of Gunnar and Halvor which stands which [eigarer]. When time the estate was redeemed of [odelsfolket] at Åmland is not clear. [Kor] many which was estimated with which Eivinds co-heirs in 1624 know we not. Probably was also the heirs after Nere Tjostolvson with here, and maybe so had been still many child after Tjøstolv - and now child after they left which was co-owner. Eivind Åmland is in a list of taxpayers for 1629 write for abandoned farm man, maybe he all then had noble from was the greatest part of the farm. From 1640 we find Salve Eivindson, who then sat with 2 huds. -In Fyresdal book by Bendik Veum, it says that the oldest son of Kjetil Eivindson Aslestad came to Gjøvdal and was father to Salve Åmland. This can not be right, out from it [kjeldestoffet] which is to find in Gjøvdal. On the other hand it is good probably that here was the female line backwards to Fyresdal. In list from 1624 was named m.a. to. estate in Åmland, Harstveit, Valebjør and Vrålstad. Parts of the same farms were owned by Ulvild Eivindsdtr. Homdrom. She had to be sister to Salve. In years 1650-1670 is mentioned 3 sons of Eivind who have parts in Åmland: Olav Eivindson Home, Mikkel Eivindson blacksmith "on Lund" and Nere Eivindson Selberg. That these were brothers to Salve Åmland is lying near to believe, but surely is it not. It can anyhow be mentioned that Nere Selberg was married to Asjer Gunnarsdtr. who was half-sister to Salve Åmlands wife, Kirsti Gunnarsdtr. Salve Eivindson used in 1640-åra 2 huds, which he himself owned. With Salve we are at a secure basis, both when it debt descendants, to own and farm in the farm. In 1645 was it [utferda] a letter(s) on that Auvor Tallakson Groven in Eidsborg, with consent of brother-in-law Knut Save in Eidsborg, seal to Salve Åmland in Gjøvdal: Inlet in Nesbø in Birtedalen. Before 1670 probate Salve to the son Gunstein born 1655. Here was an Eivind Salveson born 1658, but he sold from was to Gunstein in 1688. After Salve and Kirsti was it probate in 1685.

It is said that Tor was a wealthy and prominent landowner, possessing some twenty farms. ... The Ættesoge for Kviteseid provides no information regarding the parents of Birgit Rolvsdotter. Her father was married twice, first to _____ Larsdotter Tordenstjerne, and second to Dorthe Jonsdotter Gvannes of Sauherad. It is unclear which was her mother. [Other sources combine them into the same person, which is the path followed here.] The Ættesoge contains an apparent error regarding the date of death of Tor Steinarsson. The introductory narrative states that he died about 1690. The entry, Fjåegesund 7, says he died about 1640. The latter appears more accurate. In fact, he must have died before 1638, because by that year Birgit had married Aslak Sveinungsson Fosssheim of Bø, and they had their first child, Tor Aslaksson Fossheim. There is a discussion of this line in Volume I - Emigration, of the Telemark to America series, by Telelag of America (1989). This publication documents a continuation of this line for three more generations and then points out some conflicting information beyond that. The Klevar farm was one of the largest farms in Sauherad. It ls located to the west of Heddalvatn (Lake Heddal). Lake Heddal was a pathway for the emigrants of the nineteenth century as they made their way south from the northern areas of Telemark. Lake Heddal connects with the Sauar River, which flows into Lake Norsjø, to the south. Today, the village of Klevar lies not far from where Highway 360 crosses Lake Heddal via the Nautesund bridge.
