13.5.1811 ble Berit dømt til å miste ein del av buet i husmannsplassen Hagastrønd. Frøholm skriver:"Buet var vel ikkje stort på ein lietn husmannsplass, men ho måte og svare 28 rd i sakskostnader og reisekostnader for forsvareren. Torstein Olsen Kvåle (1765- ) klaga hausten 1810 Thomas og Arnbjørg for forfalsking av smør, som Torstein hadde kjøpt av dei for å selja i Kristiania. Han hadde kjøpt av mange i Vang, men ville ikkje seie namna på dei han hadde kjøpt av. Han ville fylle eit by-lass. Arnbjørg og Torstein vart samde om ein pris på 10 rd bismarpundet. Torstein fann at det berre øvst og i botn av butten eller fustasjonen var godt smør, men elles ei blanding av mjøl og eit eller anna. Han tilkalla lensmannen og to vitne til å synfare smøret, og lensmannen arresterte Arnbjørg. Thomas visste ikkje noko, men Arnbjørg tilsto at ho for å få den avtalte betalinga hadde lagt i ei blanding av byggmjøl og poteter. Ho fekk så lite smør av kyrne sine det året. Vitna fann ut at det i butten var 22 merker smør, verdsett til 12 skilling marka, og 22 merker mjøl- og potetblanding til 1 skilling marka. Det Torstein hadde teke imot var knapt verdt 3 rd, og endå han ikkje hadde betalt det, måtte det inndragas, men Thomas fekk det utlevert til bruk, mot seinare betaling til statskassa. Thomas viste til fattigdom og til at han hadde fire små born. Retten tok atterhal om tiltale mot Torstein Kvåle for "land- og forprang", uloveleg oppkjøp og sal av varer utanfor byane." Thomas og Arnbjørg har nok måttet forlate husmannsplassen noen år etter dette, for i 1822 fikk Nils Guttormsen Øldre, sønnen til en tidliger buruker festesetel på plassen.

Thomas og Arnbjørg hadde barna: Ragnhild (1798-), Anne (1803.) gm Jørn E Ellingbø på Jørnplassen, Ragndi (1806-), Andris (1809-) og Ola (1812- ) han giftet seg i 1836 med Ingebjørg Andrisdtr Eltun.
