He died March 31, 1857 (age 79) Mother was Kirsti Larsdatter, born at Skyer farm in Gjerpen. She died Dec 11, 1860 (age 78). They were married March 31, 1812 in Gjerpen and witnesses were Engelbret Bøle and Lars Gregarssøn.

They had the following children:

Abraham must have died early, because Ragnhild married again Nov 22, 1838 in Gjerpen to widower Hans Christensen from Aarhus (age 49), son of Christen Hansen under Aarhus.
