Peder Siverstsen from Sjurshaugen, born 1747 died 1818, was supposedly the first to clear some land and build here. He was married in 1770 to Bodil Nilsdatter b. 1738, d. 1784. When she died, he married again to Ingeborg Halsteinsdatter Bækken from Narjordet, b. 1751, d. 1829. She was a sister to Svend Øversjøen and Olava Sørgård. From his second marriage, Peder Siverstsen had a son named Halstein, b. 1790. The farm name Røstbakken may be because it was stored røstved [?] on the ground here, but then it should really have called Røstvedbakken. It can also be caused by forest with different name of rust [color]? * [ Oluf Rygh reports the name comes "led rust' - a grove of deciduous trees on the side of hill ]

The farm was assessed in 1800 and had a with royal deed in 1803.

In 1815 Peder Sivertsen sold the farm to Halstein Svendsen Øversjøen who handed over [gave up] the farm to Lars Olsen Sørgård for 150 riksdaller (see Sørgård north).

Lars Olsen sold Røstbakken again to Ole Olsen Vestgård (Andershaugen), born 1798 and died 1876; married in 1817 to Kirsti Nilsdatter Søndmør, born 1796, died 1876. [ note: Norway Parish Registers record Kirsti's birth as 1795 with her baptism on 8 Mar 1795 ]. Their children: Kirsti, born 1871, married with Iver Torgersen Joten; Marit, born 1820 married with Tobias Tobergsen Movoll, Tufsingdalen (America); Nille born 1828 married with Erik Ingulfsen Sagen [Erik Eriksen Sagen] (Idre i Sverige), Kari, born 1836.

* I'm not sure of the translation for the name of farm

- Ole Olsen's parents were from the farm Vestgard Østre (also known as Andershaugen) translation from Tolga Gards og Slektshistorie - therefore Ole Olsen was likely born there - 1801 Norway Census would support this
