He married Lucie Bendigtsdatter) She was born April 2, 1823 in Hattfjelldal, Norway, and died November 25,1883 in Hattfjelldal, Norway. From Jen Lieder's research: "I noticed the birth year is off but I found a Tollve Arntsen who died March 26, 1876 from Valmass. Nordland county, Hattfjelldal, Parish register copy nr. 823C01 (1865-1878), Death and burial records 1876, page 167". Notes for TØLLOV (ARNTSEN) ARNESON: In a letter from Lydia Thompson to her sister-in-law, Sophie Thompson in 1965, Lydia says that Martin Sparby's daughter, Helga Dalen wrote from Norway saying that Tøllov's name was Tøllef Arnsen Kampli, and that he came from Solør. In 1850 Tøllov Arneson got the gaard Valmaas from Jorgen Johansen who farmed it from 1841 through 1850. Tølløv farmed it until 1878. The farm was then taken over by Martin Torrison Sparby and he farmed it until 1900. In 1900 Tølløf Sparby took over the farm. Hattfjelldal became a separate parish (prestegjeld) in 1860 when it was parted out from Vefsn. Vefsn was split into Vefsn and Hattfjelldal kommuner in 1862. In 1874 the new Vefsn was split into Vefsn and Mosjøen ladested. In 1927 a new split of Vefsn: Vefsn, Drevja, and Grane. Is listed in the 1865 Norwegian Census for Hattfjelldal as living with his wife Lusi Bentsdatter, 43, and his children, Simon Christian Tøllovson, 11; Lars Jørgen, 8; Brede Andreas, 7; Arne, 4; Anders Henrik, 2; and Ane Maria Kristense, 15. The farm was Valmaas. Benedikt Olaus was found on a neighboring farm as a hired hand. He was 13. The spelling of the farm could vary from Valmass, to Valmas, Valmaasen, Valmasen, but the number is the same, 43. A subfarm is called a bruk. In the 1886 Tax Census, the owner was Martin Sparby, and the tax was small, probably not large enough to support the family. In the 1950 Tax Census, there are 5 subfarms at the main farm, Valmasen, without very high taxes, so there was not much land value.

A grain-barn from Hattfjelldal! Translated into English by a kind museum director. "This barn is the only building at 'Bygdesamlinga' (museum) on 'Dambekkhaugen' which has its origin from Hattfjelldal kommune. It has originally been placed at the farm Valmaasen (g.nr. 43 in Hattfjelldal) which is found on the south side of the 'Elsvasselva' (river) ca. 3 km east of the township-center of Hattfjelldal. The barn was placed at the 'Bygdesamlinga' in 1968. Its age cannot be determined much closer, and there is no information about whom of the farmers that builded it. The only clue we have, came from a man called Martin Sparby who was born on the farm in 1904 and later farmed there. He said that the barn was old already when he was a kid. The barn have a traditional shape, as these buildings did in early days in the 'Vefsn'- district. These peculiar kind of barns, which always was detached from other buildings, was in these rural district built until the last half of the 17th century. After that period, it became more common to build the barn together with the cow-barn, and often crosswise at the end of the cow-barn. Since this barn comes from a farm where grain farming never played any major part, this is a rather small barn compared to those one could find in the more central parts of the Vefsn-district. The barn is about 27 ft. long and 20.7 ft. wide. The height of the purlin is 7.7 ft. and the ridge purlin is 12.6 ft. Its built of round Notes (con't) ft. long and 20.7 ft. wide. The height of the purlin is 7.7 ft. and the ridge purlin is 12.6 ft. Its built of round timber and has a turfed roof. Inside its separated into several rooms. One room for each type of grain (eks. barley and oats), and a threshing room in the middle. The barns function was for keeping and working with grain only." From Steve Thompson-12-2009: "Tollov Arntsen, also known as Tollef Arnesen was born 1819 in Sør-Aurdal in Valdres Norway and is believed to come from the farm Kamplia in Solor, Hedmark, Norway. In 1850 he got the farm Valmaas and farmed it until 1878. Valmaas is in Hattfjelldal, Nordland, Norway. His Wife, Lusi Bernsdatter or Bentsdatter was born in 1823 and died in 1883, Hattfjelldal, Nordlands, Norway." Tollov must have left Lans prior to 1850, as the eldest daughter is born around that year. There was a large migration from Lands to the northern parts of Norway during the 19th century, in addition to the United States emigration. According to the bygdebok for Hattfjelldal,Tøllef Arneson was born in Sør-Aurdal in Valdres, but his family had moved to Tørpa in Nordre Land when he was 4-5 years old. In 1843 he left home and came north to Hattfjelldal, and both his parents and all siblings came as well in those days. Settled at Kamplia Gnr 6 which I believe is in Grane. Children are: Arne Mathias Tollovson- b. 1849 Norway, d. 1851 Norway Ane Marie Kristense Tollovson- b. Apr 3, 1851 Norway, d. Apr 26, 1942. She married Martin Sparby . Benedik Olaus Tollovson Thompson- b. May 30, 1853 Hattfjelldal, d. February 11, 1941, Niobrara, Knox, Nebraska. He was married when he left Norway with two small children. His wife died on the voyage and the children were left in the care of a sitter and she put them up for adoption. Have no record of them. He emigrated in 1871. Simon Christian Tollovson Thompson- B. Aug 1855 Hattfjelldal, d. 1926 Hendrickson Township, McHenry, North Dakota Lar s ( Jurgen) Jorgen Tollefson- b. Jan 30, 1858 Norway, d. Oct 9, 1919 Cumberland, Barron County, Wisconsin. He came to the United States between 1886 and 1888. Brede Andreas Tollovson Thompson- B. Sep. 29, 1858 Hattfjelldal, d. Aug 4, 1956, Perkins, South Dakota. He emigrated to the United States in May 1878, through Philadelphia Arne (Arndt) Tollovson, b. abt. 1861. Was said to have died in the military and might have one or two children. Nothing more is known about him. Anders Henrik Tollovson Thompson- b. Mar 18, 1864 Hattfjelldal, d. Sep 14, 1954 Section 10, Barron, Wisconsin. He came to the on May 14, 1884 on the ship Dampsk Hero . He sailed from Trondheim, but have been unable to find out if this was a direct sailing or if he went through Kingtson-on-Hull, England . Torger Edvin Tollovson- b. 1866, d. 1866 Norway. Torger supposedly died very young by drowning, and is not listed in the 1865 census. Lucie Mari Bendigtsdatter Karl Sparby, of Uppsala, Sweden lists Lusi's last name as Bernsdatter. Anders Hendrik Tøllovson Thompson His name was Tollovson when he emigrated, and changed to Thompson after he had settled in Cumberland, Wisconsin. From the Digitalarkivet: "Emigrants from Trondheim 1867-1930, Anders Thompson (listed emigration name) applied to leave Norway on May 14, 1884, and left the same day.
