Child of Per Grytdalsbakk and Kari Vinsnes is: 4 i. Svend Pedersen Vinsnesbakk, born 1850; died 1933; married Marit Jensdt. Rosbjorgen. Generation No. 5 18. Per Svensen Vinsnes, born 1779 in Nordgården Vinsnes, Singsås, Sør-Trøndelag; died 1883 in Vinsnesmoen, Singsås, Sør-Trøndelag. He was the son of 36. Sven Persen Vinsnes and 37. Kari Olsdatter Kjelden. He married 19. Gjartrud Olsdatter 1810. 19. Gjartrud Olsdatter, born Abt. 1780; died 1862. Notes for Per Svensen Vinsnes: Translated by Dag Einar Winsnes: Per Svensen, b. 1779, d. 1833, was very stiff and was always called Kranken (means something like sickly person). In 1810 he married Gjartrud Olsdatter, b. Abt. 1780 d. 1862. She moved to Singsås and came to Bogen as a servant ("taus" can mean several things, but means most certanly servant) and went later to Øyan. The situation had changed and his accommodation/support was withdrawn and the newly married got a leasehold in 1811 for pieces of his homeland/farm; Kalvehagemoen and Hostadhagen. Per and Gjartrud were just about to start building and farming when the family at Nordmoen gave notice of their place(moved away) and the newly married took over the houses, and in return Per Jonsen and Marit got a few "dollars" for them. (Husmannsfolk could be translated as a tenant farmer...? Or a cotter/crofter says my dictionary.) A crofter had the ground on leasehold, but usually owned the houses, at least half of them. This was the way Per and Gjartrud ended up at Nordmoen. She's supposed to be from the Røros-region. 2 The children are: 1. Ingeborg, f. 1772, g.m. Jens Tomassen Bogen, Nordstu'u. 2. Berit, f. 1774, g.m. Per Kristiansen Bones, sjå Kjellen. 3. Guri, f. 1776, g.m. Anders Estensen Almås, Utstu'u. 4. Per, f. 1779, g.m. Gjartrud Olsdt., sjå Nordmoen. 5. Sven, f. 1782, g.m. Marit Hansdt. Malum, sjå Nordstu'u nedafor. 6. Ola, f. 1784, død ugift 1819. 7. Per d.y., f. 1786, g.m. Guri Svensdt. Høen, tok over halve bruket, sjå Oppstu'u Vinsnes. 8. Anne, f. 1789, g.m. Per Tomassen Talsnes, Nordgården. Per being handicapped is the reason why he didn’t get the farm. But that didn’t stopp him from getting women (as written on page 320, vol.3). When he married the accommodation was cancelled. Children of Per Vinsnes and Gjartrud Olsdatter are: i. Ingeborg Persdt. Vinsnes, born 1810 in Vinsnes Nordmoen, Singsås, Sør-Trøndelag; died 1810. ii.

Notes for Sven Svensen Vinsnes: Svend Svendsen Winsnes, b.1782, dead 1839, was sheriff from 21. July 1808 to November 1837. It was in this period Norway and Denmark was at war with Sweden 1808-1814. (Norway had been in a union with Denmark 1380-1814. When the war ended, Norway broke free from Denmark and our constitution was made. Some months later we joined Sweden in a union that lasted until 1905.) As a sheriff Svend had a lot to do with calling up soldiers for the war and provide supplies. He also had to keep the thoroughfare in decent condition. Sheriff Svend Winsnes was an exceptionally competent and active man, with good economy. (Sings\'e5sboka, volume 1, p.170.)
