He is Andris Thomassen Høyne, I33654, in Jim’s VS.

Buried as Andrew Thompson. Shown as Anders Thomasson Ellestad, age 26, in the Vestre Slidre parish record for his marriage to Randi Eriksdatter, age 22.

Referred to by Alison as Anders Tomason Ellestad. Shown in the 1865 Norwegian census as Anders Thomasen, living on the domicile of Høine in Vestre Slidre. Anders is the Gaardr og Selveier and he has 1 horse, 6 cattle, 8 sheep, 1 pig, 2 barley, and 4 potatoes. Living with him and Rangdi are their children Berit, Thomas, Erik, and Knud, as well as Anders’s parents Thomas and Berit and Anders’s sister Anne, age 22.

The FamilySearch entry is for Andris Tomasson, born in 1830 in Hoine III, Vestre Slidre, Oppland, Norway.

Rose confirmed that Anders got the family farm in Norway, apparently because Knut had left Norway earlier. Nevertheless, Andrew eventually decided that owning that farm in Norway was less attractive than owning a farm in Minnesota, especially with the letters he must have been getting from Knut and Peter. Peter paid for Anders and his family to come to the U.S.

Linda says Andrew and Randi lived in Webster, the township in Rice County next to New Market.

According to Alison, Andrew and his wife and family emigrated to the U.S. in 1877. According to Rose, they took the train to Farmington. Someone was not there to meet them so they had to sleep in a horse barn.

Alison, citing the Scott County deed, describes their farm as the north half of the southeast quarter of section 34, New Market Township, as of 1 Mar 1878. The family is recorded as landing in New York, aboard the Brittanic (from Liverpool via Queenstown), on June 11, 1877: Anders Ellestad, 46, Rangdi Ellestad, 43, Berit Ellestad, 18, Tomas Ellestad, 16, Erick Ellestad, 13, Knut Ellestad, 11, Marit Ellestad, 9, John Ellestad, 7, Iver Ellestad, 4, Olga Ellestad, 3, and Ingeborg Ellestad, 1. Everyone in the family is shown as being from Germany.

According to Evey: “My great-grandfather Thompson settled in the Webster, Minnesota area which is quite close to the New Market/Lakeville area where the Ellingboes still have their homestead.”

Census taker Peter J. Baetes or Baeten visited the “Andrew Thomson” farm in New Market township, Scott County, on June 22, 1880. The record is shown as image 17 of 20, page 160A. Andrew is shown in the 1880 census as “Andrew Thomson,” age 50, a farmer. His wife is shown as 47 year-old Randy. Children at home are 21 year-old Thom Thomson, 19 year-old Erick Thomson, 17 year-old Knut Thomson, 14 year-old Mary Thomson, 12 year-old John Thomson, 5 year-old “Ingebor” Thomson (female), and 2 year-old Johanna Thomson (female).

The listing of the youngest child as a female appears to have been in error.

In the 1900 census (June 17th), Andrew Thompson and family were living in New Market Township. The household consisted of Andrew, 69 (born Sept 1830), Randie, 66 (born April 1834), Knut A., 34 (born May 1866), Belle, 25 (born May 1875), William Carel, grandson, 10 (born Feb 1890), and George, grandson, 11 (born Aug 1888). The two boys are shown as “at school.” The boys were born in Minnesota; their father was born in Sweden. Knut A. is shown as married, Belle is single. The four oldest are shown as coming to this country from Norway in 1877. Randie and Andrew had been married 42 years. Randie had had 10 children, 8 still living. Andrew owned his farm with a mortgage. Knut was shown as a naturalized citizen, Andrew was still an alien. Andrew cannot speak English. The children were apparently Mary’s and apparently visiting because they seem to have been recorded earlier at their parents’ home in Minneapolis.

Both Andrew and Randy were still on the farm at the time of the 1910 census, living with their single son Knut who is shown as head of the household.

He is Anfin Olsen Ødegård in Jim’s Ellingboe tree, no other information given.

He is Arnfinn Olsen Bakken, I41248, in Jim’s VS.

Jim’s VS notes:

He lived in different places in Vang before he settled in Ljøsno under Tveit around 1860. Frøholm writes that he had built a cabin on Slettefjell where he tended sheep in the fall. He broke into Mugnadstølen and stole butter.

A poem was composed about him: "Han Anfinn og han Ola i Bakka efter Tjuve-bruna lokka" He was divorced around 1845. After that he lived with Guri Sjugurdsdtr Remmisbrekkun and had five children with her.

In 1864 he traveled to America with his son Torstein, the documents also state that the eldest son Ola was involved, but in the census in 1865 he is listed with his grandfather.

It is possible that he joined his mother, who traveled in 1865 with his daughters and youngest son. When Guri left, their house burned down. It was called "Hell" and people then said that when "Fa'n" raised fire Hell. (After Frøholm).

Anfinn was later married and divorced and had a son Ola in 1853 with Guri Sjugurdsdatter Remmisbrekka. Ola was also with his grandfather in the 1865 census. After a time he was in Ljøsne in Tveidt.
