Notes:

The bygdebok calls him Andris Sjugurdson Austreim. Andris was born on Kungslien and later moved, with his parents, to Skeie on Helle.

It (Vang B, p. 324 and p. 356) also confirms that his father was not the Sjugurd Andrisson Austreim born in 1736 (I24439).

dwfrench1 also refers to him as Anders Syversen Østreim and has him born 28 Jun 1742 and dying 2 May 1816 on Gjevre.

The bygdebok says he was born in 1756. The 1801 census (which has him and his family on Gjevre) shows him as age 44, thus born in 1756.

Notes:

He was a husmand med jord on the Bakken 1 farm in the 1865 census in Vang. Living with him and Margrethe were their son John, their daughter Rangdi, and a foster datter, 10 year-old Magrethe Olsdatter.

The only Endre born in Vang in 1800 or 1801 was Endre, born as illegitimate on 22 Jun to Endre Johanssen and Guri Andfinsdatter of Oldre.

In his VS, Jim calls him Endre Jonson Heensåsen, 1799-1871, I8746. The bygdebok, p. 619, has him as a husmann on Bakkin, apparently a subfarm of Bagetun, from 1829.

Jim’s VS notes:

He is often called Ellingbø, why I do not know. Frøholm writes that the father was Jon Andersson and the mother was Randi Gudbrandsdt who was at Dalsøydegarden.

Frøholm skriver om Bakkin under Baggetun: "Bakkin var den største husmannsplassen under Baggetun, etter Grøv. han låg 200 meter sør for garden, beint mot nord for Grøv. etter festesetelen av 24.6.1829 låg plassen under og opp i Grøvsjordet, og skulle elles ha til forland Rødningen ovafor Grrøvsjordet, vesle Myrslætet oppi li'n og nørdre Stakkstømyridn, to stakksøer i Helevøndale under Langolshøvdo, stølsrettar, rett til 8 hestelass med rå bjørkeved i skogen og raskved av vier o.a. Husmannen skulle svare 4 spd og slå m.a. løoenga Tobakkslætet og skjere eit mål korn når bonden kravde det. Lenge fødde dei ikring 2 kyr, men i 1875 var det 1 hest, 6 kyr, 3 ungdyr, 7 sauer og lam og 1 gris på Bakka. Men vel halvparten av dette fall på Jon Endresen ( sønnen til Endre, HB's anm), som kjøpte Haugo av Ellingbø og dreiv Haugo frå Bakka, slik at han hadde heile buskapen her på Bakka.

I 1855 var han med på å bygge opp "Valdressettlementet i Goodhue CO, Minnesota. Han har etterkommere i Tioga i USA VALDRESBYGDEN I GOODHUE COUNTY, MINNESOTA Det var vel helst om pioner-menn og kvinner vi skulde skrive og ikke om settlementer, men i de fleste tilfelle er de naturligvis knyttet så tett sammen at de er nærsagt uadskillelige. Vi vet også at mange av de mend som særlig har fortjent omtal e her, får en litt mer utførlig saga i avsnittet om fremskutte vardreser. Ovennevnte vardresbygd ligger ca. 25 mil vestenfor Mississippifloden i det sydestlige Minnesota. Den grunnlagdes i 1855, da nogen landsøkere fra Vang i Valdres ankom og bosatte sig. Blandt disse var John Helgeson Hamre. Nils Gunderson Lien, Eve n Syverson Brækken. Endre Thomassen Remmen, John Helgeson Glare, brødrene Haakon, Ola og Knnt Holiæn, Thomas Tasa, Endre K. Haugen og Nils N. Heen. L1tt senere samme år kom også Gudmund Norsving og et følge av et dusin familier med ham. Norsvin g blev en fremragende mann, valgtes til mange ansvarsfulle hverv, var medlem av statens lovgivende forsamling, en av valdrelagets første støtter, en bramfri genial, endefram hedersmann av det gode gamle slag. At endog sameget som nevne alle dem so m kom senere, går ikke an, men blandt mer kjente familier bør dog nevnes familierne Høverstad, Bøe, Eltun, Elingbøe, Søine, Lockrem og Østrem med flere.

From contributor DaveVangsness on Find A Grave:


BOOK - HISTORY OF GOODHUE COUNTY, MN. PUBLISHED IN 1909 Carl N. Lien, Red Wing, who has a long and honorable record of public office holding in this and Ramsey counties, is the son of Nils G. and Martha (Holm) Lien, natives of Norway. The mother came to America in 1852 and located in Winneshiek county, Iowa. The father came a year later and settled in Manitowoc, Wis. They were married at Decorah, Iowa, in 1856, and in the spring of the following year came to Warsaw, this county, where the father carried on general farming until his death, in 1901. His widow followed him to the grave two years later. Carl N. attended the public schools and took a course in the Lutheran College at Decorah, Iowa. After a course at Northfield, Minn., at St. Olaf's College, he completed his schooling with a business training in the Curtiss Business College at St. Paul. Thus, well equipped with a classical and business education, he started out in life for himself. Between 1879 and 1889 he was justice of the peace, assessor and township chairman, and town clerk in Warsaw, and in 1883-85 was enrolling clerk in the house of representatives. From October, 1885, to June, 1886, he was transcribing clerk in the office of the United States surveyor-general, at St. Paul. He was then elected county auditor of Goodhue county, and from January, 1890, to January 4, 1909, served honorably and continuously in that position. Mr. Lien was married April 24, 1878, to Mary E. Johnson, who was educated in Carleton College and St. Olaf's College, at Northfield, Minn. She also taught school six years, four years in Iowa and two years in Goodhue county. This union has been blessed with eight children. Amanda, born July 29, 1879, married Elias Rachie, and lives at Willmar, Minn. Clara M., born October 30, 1880, married Ole J. Olson, a contractor and builder, of Sioux Falls, S. D. Anna married Edward Lidberg, of Red Wing. She was born September 11, 1882. Nels, N., born August 1, 1884, is deputy auditor of the county. Mabel C., born October 23, 1886, and Julia, born September 9, 1889, are graduates of the Red Wing high school. Conrad, born October 4, 1892, died December 31, 1893, and Carl, born December 31, 1894, died April 14, 1896. The family faith is that of St. Peter's Evangelical church, and Mr. Lien votes the Republican ticket. During the years 1908-09 Mr. Lien has been teaching penmanship in the Red Wing Seminary.
