She was born in 1778 by parents Ole Amundsen Nisterød and Mari Solvesdatter. Nisterød is a small cottager’s place under the farm Nordre Bøe in Gjerpen. She was baptized Nov 8, 1778.
Her mother dies in 1805 and there is a probate dated Aug 26th which tells us that they then lived on Nisterød with the children Solve age 22 and Dorte Marie age 27. The total assets was valued at roughly 41 daler, but the family’s debt was more than 75 daler.
