John Midtdal "Tufsingdalen Gårder og Slekter, 1991; Moen nordre page 419, 420 [google translate]

Also known as "Møsmør-Anne", who wandered around the villages and sold dog puppies or spruce bark chews. Besides, she was always begging for cheese and møsmør [? maybe, myssmør = buttermilk; or a cream cheese made from sweet whey] where she went - with a green pull cart in the summer and a dog harnessed for a sled in the winter.
She had a house built in Grantævet between Togla and Vingelen sometime in the 1880s, as the very first resident in the area. She didn't have any land, just a small living room. Sometime later, she sold this place to Knut Østvang and moved herself to a small living room below the church at Tolga, where she still lived in the spring of 1913. Around 1917 she moved to the old people's home.

She remained unmarried but had the following children that we know of [Hun forble ugift, men hadde følgende barn som vi vet om]

1]. with Poul Johnsen Sandmælen, b 27 Mar 1827, d., 12 Mar 1904
- a daughter. Ingeborg b 22 May 1866, m. 19 sep 1890 to Jon Jonsen Neergård, b 1863
- Ingeborg had 5 children

2]. with the widower Anders Johnsen Sandmælen b in 1792, d. 14 Sep 1879
- a son, Anton , b 23 Mar 1872, married in 1895 to Gea Svensdtr Midtal, b 2 Jul 1869 [see also under Midtdal søndre
where Anton trained as a priest and where he later worked. He has given the money to the church in Vingelen twice
[ hvor Anton utdannet seg til prest og hvor han senere virket. Han har to gager ydet penget til kirken in Vingelen ]

3]. with Tollef Hammer, b 22 Apr 1838. d. 1890
- a duagther, Johanne, b 28 May 1876, died unknown


- Anne is found in the 1900 Norway Census, living with the family of Jon Jonsen, b 1863, Tolga with Ingeborg Paulsdatter [1866]; [Anne Johnsdatter's daughter] and children
- Anne is recorded with the name Anne Jonsdatter Høiaas (Moen), and as Omstreifende. Tiggeri = Wandering. Begging. Note: this is a bit of a harsh statement since she was living in 1900 at the home of her daughter Ingeborg Paulsdatter. But it seems that she was known to be "wandering" around.

Anne had a relationship with Anders Jonsen Sandmæl. (Anders Jonsen Sandmæl was born in 1792 in Tolga, Hedmark, Norway ¹¹³⁴ and died on 14 Sep 1879 in Tolga, Hedmark, Norway ¹¹³⁴.)

Anne next married Paul Johnsen Sandmæl. (Paul Johnsen Sandmæl was born on 27 May 1833 in Tolga, Hedmark, Norway and died on 12 Mar 1903 in Tolga, Hedmark, Norway.)

Anne next married Tollef Kuntsen Hammer. (Tollef Kuntsen Hammer was born on 22 Apr 1838 in Tolga, Hedmark, Norway and died on 29 Jan 1915 in Tolga, Hedmark, Norway ¹¹³⁶.)
