He is I6163 in Jim’s VS, no parents shown.

Jim’s notes: Han var antakelig gårdsgutt på Baggetun da han traff kona si. Han kjøpte Søyne 8.7.1783. Simen var gift tre ganger og hadde tilsammen 17 barn, bare noen ganske få av dem levde opp og fikk etterkommere. Da andre kona, Kjersti Uvdal døde i 1803, giftet han seg for tredje gang med den 33 år yngre Anne Tortseinsdatter Ellingbøiga (1780-1841) Hun døde på Lajord. De hadde barna: Torstein (1805- ), Simon (1807-08), Ingebjørg (1809-09), Ivar (1810-1812) og Kjersti (1812-1864) gift i 1858 med Per Torson Tynjadn (Tynjum) fra Lærdal. De bodde på Søyne. Simen (1815- ) reitse til Kristiania i 1834, der kom han på tukthuset og slaveriet på Akershus fra 1837-1841. Da han slapp fri reiste han tilbake til Vang og ble husmann under nordre Bø fra 1845. Jeg vet ikke hvilken forbrytelse han hadde begått. Marit(1817-18) og Marte (1822-).

In his Ellingboe tree, Jim notes that Simen (I8287) was not born in Vang. He had three wives and many children, several of which died young. Simen was a wheelwright, a person who makes and repairs wooden wheels.

Simon married Ingrid Vilhelmsdatter BAGGETHUN in 1778. Ingrid (daughter of Vilhelm Andrisson BAGGETHUN and Guri Torleivsdotter MØSAKER) was born in 1758; died on 29 Jun 1780 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

There are two opinions on who her parents were, both expressed in the Vang A bygdebok. The records in Digitalarkivet purport to include Ingrid’s birth in 1758. However, they are not legible or comprehensible to any but the most experienced researcher.

1) Shown here: Jim’s VS calls her Ingrid Vilhjølmsdtr Ellingbø (1758-1780) and says that her parents were Vilhjølm Andrisson Baggetun (1720-1787) and Guri Torleivsdatter Møsåker (1728-1763). This is consistent with p. 594 of the bygdebok. It is also consistent with Guri’s mother being named Ingrid.

Jim’s notes on her in VS: Frøholm har to sett foreldre på henne, men det mest sansynlige er at dette er de riktige foreldrene. Men han har ført henne opp som datter til Vilhjølm Jonsen Baggetun og Velgjerd Jonsdtr Ellingbø også (se Frøhom side 611) I Kirkeboka står det at hun bodde på Baggetun da hun døde.

2) As suggested in the notes above, the Vang A bygdebok also says, on p. 611, that her parents were Vilhjølm Jonsen Baggetun (1736-1768) and Velgjerd Jonsdatter Ellingbø (1732-1805). THIS ALTERNATIVE IS SHOWN AS 11081 AND 11085.

Jim’s Ellingboe tree is silent on her parents.

Probably from Bagetunsætta.

Also Vilhelm Andrisson Thunes. He apparently bought into the Ellingbö (also spelled Ellingbø) farm and thereafter changed his name to Ellingbö. This was customary and resulted in people with the same name not necessarily being related. This is the case with Ole Tollefson and Ågot Helgesdatter.
