- Ola born about 1639, died about 1681 [died at age 42]. Took over the upper part of Østu in the 1670's or maybe a little earlier it was divided between him and his brother Erik. Ola married Kjersti Eriksdatter died about 1665.
In judicial proceedings in November 1684 it was told when Ola and Kjersti died - the farm was used by the brother of Ola, Erik Øver Østu since there wasn't anyone to take over. The only child of Ola Estenssen and Kjersti Eriksdatter who lived at the time was their daughter Ingrid. Ingrid had sued her uncle Erik to get him to change the handling of Øver Østu to her. The final [settlement] recorded that she could reside their because her father had been the eldest of the brothers and therefore had the right to the farm since she was the oldest child [ åsetesrett - Åsetesrett (archaic is the ancient right in Norway of the eldest child to inherit the farm after his or her parent, originally only 50% for female offspring; When the farmer dies, his eldest child takes possession. The heir is obliged to pay the other siblings their share of the estate ]. Erik was willing to acquiesce, and in May 1685 he and Ingrid wrote a contract Ingrid about how they would shared house, contents and soil.


[ .... eller kanskje litt før ble delt mellom ham og broren Erik. I ei rettssak i November 1684 blir det fortalt om når Ola og Kjersti død. Det var ennå ikke holdt skifte etter dem, og garden ble brukt av bror til Ola, Erik Ytre Østu. Det eneste barnet, som levde etter Ola Estenssen og Kjersti Eriksdatter på tidspunktet, var datter Ingrid. Ingrid hadde stevna onkelen Erik for å få ham til å holde skifte of overlate Øver Østu til henne. Det siste kunne hun dreve fordi far hennes hadde værte eldest av brødrene og derfor hadde hatt åsetesrett. Erik var villig til å føye seg, og i Mai 1685 skrev han og Ingrid kontrakt om hvordan de hadde delt hus, innbo og jord. ]
