2. source: www.helgo.net (Enar Nordvik) lists name as : Tore Østensen Ousten - his father as Østen Eriksen Ousten and mother as Raghnild Toresdtr Nyhus; provides name of only one child


3. Conflicting data: birth 1709, 1710, 1712; death - 1774, 1775

- 1709 or 1710 ---- Norway Parish Registers - burial records 8 Jan 1775 and records his age as 65 - his death could have been in Dec 1774, since it may have been some time between his death and burial; thus birth either 1709 or 1710
- 1709 ---- from the points above and from Ancestry.com Public Member Trees (and rootsweb.com)
- 1709 ---- www.helgo.net
- abt 1710 - Bygdebok for Os

Conclusion: birth as 1709 - there likely isn't a way to definitively prove his birth, but it is most likely to be 1709 and this is the date I have used for the Legacy data

Conclusion: death as Dec 1774 - again, there likely isn't a way to definitively prove his death, but it is most likely to be 1774 since the actual burial was likely a month later and not only a few days

- Tore's farm was Ytre Østu [Breen],

- around 1858, it appears the farm became divided and his son Esten's farm became known as Mellom-Østu, but was also called Nedre Mestu and Litlstu -- was given the bruksnr of 56 with Dativ of Litlstuen (1886 Matrikkelen as Breen, with Bruksnavn as Midtstuen nedre og Austen mellem, farmer Esten Pedersen
- his son Ole Toresen (Ola), born 1751 took over the other part of the father's farm - this became known as Ytre-Østu, brsknr of 57, also called Ytre-Østen and Austen nedre med with Heiersvollen (1886 Matrikkelen as "Breen, Heiervolden - with the Bruksnavn as Austen nedre med Heiervolden, farmer Ole Jonsen Høisen)

- Note: in the 1886 Matrikkelen, the Gårdsnavn is Breen with the gårdnsr as 131, and listed with 66 bruksnr.

- NOTE: the farm Breen would have been quite old (in Olav Rygh's data it is noted that the farm Breen is one of the oldest names or possibly the earliest in the Tolgen county (herred) - it may have derived from the word for wine (as in Elverum, but it isn't clear when there was a permament popultation in Dalsbyda)



3. Daughter - Marit or Mari

- Marie Tollan 's transcription - marriage: 17 May 1796 Mari Toresdtr (res - Breen) married to Thore Olsen (residence, Nordvang
????

[ 10 Feb 2014 ]
- also I had recorded a daughter, Marit Toresdtr born 2 Aug 1772 married to Per Jonsen Erlimoen born 2 Aug 1772
---- I had not recorded a source --- I doubt this is correct and is likely someone else --- deleted fr data
