1168. Daniel Rasmussen HAPNES/FOSEN
(770)
(771) was born in 1616 in Norway. He died in 1667 in Fosen, Avaldsnes
(Karmøy), Norway. "in Avaldsnes, then Hapnes, later Sande in Hjelmeland"
& "baliff in Hetland skibrede 1666-67." (Slooper book, p 410a)
Daniel and Malene lived first, from 1639, on the farm Hapnes in Vikedal
district (Viking coastal defense unit), which Malene's father had previously
leased for the use of the children. They used also Dokskar somewhat further
up in the valley from 1642. (Both Hapnes and nearby Dokskar are on the south
side of Yrkjeforden and north of Nedstrand.) Later they also leased Hamn down
by the fjord (probably the Hamn in Skjold on the east side of Skjoldafjorden?).
It was the king which owned these farms. For Daniel it was surely the "overflow
sawmill" at Dokskar that was of greatest interest. (This was probably a
sawmill that could be used only in the spring when there was enough water available.)
They lived at Hapnes until 1665. Then they moved to Sande in Hjelmeland
which they had bought in 1652. But in 1666 Daniel made an equal exchange with
the priest at Hjelmeland, Jens Simonsen Morsing, which was married to a daughter
of Gudmund and Marta Fosen (earlier owners of the Fosen farm). Daniel obtained
all of the Fosen farm that had been left to Jens' wife. In exchange, Jens got
property that had belonged to Daniel in Sande, Lerstøl (Larstøl) and
Kro (all in Hjelmeland). Daniel and Malene moved then to Fosen and took over
whole the farm, but in the following year, in 1667, was he found dead in the
meadow. When Daniel died, his estate included the farm property in Fosen plus
property in Vestre (in Skjold), Seltveit (in Jelsa), Tjørdal (possibly Tordal
in Tysvær?) and Øvreland (in Vikedal). After Daniel's death, Malene
married the next farmer to take over the Fosen farm. Daniel was sheriff in Hetland
Viking coastal defense unit (which got its name from the Hetland farm just to
the east of Fosen - according to Tysvær Vol. 1).
There is some disagreement regarding Daniel's parents. The Slooper book indicates
that his father was Rasmus Haakonsen Hapnes who was mentioned in Vikedal in 1603.
The Bygdebok for KARMØY: AVALDSNES II, idicate that his parents were the
Rev. Rasmus Olsen from Rennesøy and his wife Katrine Johannsdtr. He was
married to Malene Jonsdtr. RAUNES (RÖGENES).
1169.
Malene Jonsdtr. RAUNES (RÖGENES)
(41)(772)
(773) died in 1688. Avaldsnes
bygdebok indicates that she was the daughter of Jon and Malene at Raunes in Vats.
Malene had 9 children with Daniel. After Daniel, her first husband died, she
married that same year to Daniel Matssen who was the brother to the tax collector
in Ryfylke Søren Matssen at Hesby. Malene and this second Daniel had no
children. This second Daniel lived only a short time with Malene on the Fosen
farm. Like Malene's first husband, this Daniel was chosen to be the sheriff
in Hetland viking coastal defense unit in 1668. On 3 Jul 1668, during a dispute
in a local court hearing he was stabbed and killed. Malene then married a third
Daniel, Daniel Kristensen, son of the vicar Christen Bentsen Schaaning and Mette
Sørensdtr. of Avaldsnes. This third Daniel came to Fosen in 1670. This
Daniel, like Malene's previous 2 husbands, also served as the sheriff in Hetland
viking coastal defense, and did so into the 1680's. He and Malene turned the
Fosen farm over to Malene's oldest son from her first marriage, Østen Danielsen,
who owned the Fosen farm Bruksnr. 1 from 1690 until 1722. (Avaldsnes bygdebok)
