    "Of other inhabitants, this city (Stavanger) has an Apotheker Zetlitz, who, well in his profession, is also outside the same a very active man. He is an active co-founder of the civic school, also for the poor. He has cultivated a quantity and uncircumcised lands. Undoubtedly, one - and most importantly - of those who have given the blow to the business of the grubbing-up work, is the chairman of the bourgeois artillery of the city, and must have a great deal of profit, having and, without reward, with true zeal. and sacrifice, presented as a roadside master, on the royal, here the way of the roadside, the construction of an excellent Chausseé down the gentleman, half of which is completed under him, namely three of the seven miles to be drawn through this county.

    Notes:

    Gabriel Kirsebom Jansen Kielland (in Norwegian)
    Han anføres i sønnens opptegnelser å ha vært utdannet til student. I 1750-årene fór han til sjøs som skipper, og nedsatte seg derpå 1758 i Sogndalsstranden som handelsmann og havarikommisjonær og tok borgerskap i Christiansand. Han var kirkeverge i Sogndal. Mens han var bosatt der, sees han stadig å ha gjort forretninger sammen med sin i Stavanger etablerte bror Jacob. Efter morens foreldre hadde brødrene arvet 1 bismerpund 4 ½ merker smør i gården Drageland i Sogndal, som de solgte 5. januar 1758, 3 merker smør i Reeg, som solgtes 2. januar 1765, og 12 merker smør i Høiland i Hetland. 27. juni 1764 kjøpte Gabriel Kielland ¼ i Sogndal kirke for 230 Rd. Da faren var død flyttet Gabriel Kielland sommeren 1765 til Stavanger. Solgte da sine hus, der var oppført på den av faren tidligere bebodde grunn i Sogndalsstranden.I Stavanger, hvor han tok borgerskap og nedsatte seg som kjøpmann, hadde Gabriel Kielland allerede 22. juni 1764 innkjøpt sin hustrus farmors, Birgitta Nyrop, slekten Valentinsens våningshus med tilhørende sjøhus på Jorenholmen med to dertil hørende grunnstykker. 5. april 1769 kjøpte han dertil et sjøhus og 4. august 1780 et hus på Holmen, og 13. april 1771 ervervet han seg et sjøhus i Skudesnes for å delta i de der pågående sildefiskerier. Av en skattefortegnelse fra 1773 sees det at Gabriel Kielland den gang var den fjerde i rekken av Stavangers skatteydere. Han eiet sammen med broren flere skip, og hørte til dens første handelsmenn. Han kalles derfor også i skifteprotokollen "Den i Livet velædle og velberømte Kjøbmand". I 1772 festet han flere av de da utparsellerte Egenæs-løkker, og han hadde 12. september 1768 av sin svigermor for 500 Rd. fått avståelsesbrev på "lille Hvidingsø" med tilliggende holme (senere Sølyst og Ressholmen). Han var forhandler av stemplet papir og blev en av byens "eligerede Mænd". Gabriel Kielland synes å ha vært en mann av smak. Hans sønn forteller at han hadde anvendt megen bekostning på å utstyre sitt hus i Sogndal, og det kan av gamle dokumenter sees at han hadde sans for smukt innbo og husgeråd.

    He is stated in the son's records to have been a student student. In the 1750s he went to sea as a skipper, and then established himself in 1758 in Sogndalsstrand as a trader and casualty commissioner and took citizenship in Christiansand. He was a church guard in Sogndal. While living there, he is constantly seen having done business with his brother Jacob, established in Stavanger. After the mother's parents, the brothers had inherited 1 bismer pound 4 ½ marks butter in the farm Drageland in Sogndal, which they sold on January 5, 1758, 3 brands of butter in Reeg, which was sold January 2, 1765, and 12 brands of butter in Høiland in Hetland. June 27, 1764, Gabriel Kielland bought ¼ in Sogndal church for 230 Rd. When his father died, Gabriel Kielland moved to Stavanger in the summer of 1765. He then sold his houses, which were listed on the land previously inhabited by his father in Sogndalsstrand.

    In Stavanger, where he took the bourgeoisie and set up as a merchant, on June 22, 1764, Gabriel Kielland had purchased his wife's grandmother, Birgitta Nyrop, the family's Valentinsens farmhouse with associated sea house on Jorenholmen with two associated plots. On April 5, 1769, he purchased a sea house and on August 4, 1780 a house on Holmen, and on April 13, 1771 he acquired a sea house in Skudesnes to participate in the herring fisheries in progress. From a tax record from 1773 it is seen that Gabriel Kielland at that time was the fourth in the series of Stavanger's taxpayers. He owned several ships with his brother and belonged to its first traders. He is therefore also called in the shift protocol "The in good life and well-known merchant". In 1772, he attached several of the then extinct Egenæs loops, and on September 12, 1768, he had his mother-in-law for 500 Rd. received letter of resignation on "little Hvidingsø" with adjacent islets (later Sølyst and Ressholmen). He was a dealer of stamped paper and became one of the city's "elated men". Gabriel Kielland seems to have been a man of taste. His son says he had used a great deal of expense to equip his house in Sogndal, and it can be seen from old documents that he had a sense of beautiful furnishings and household items.

    Gabriel married Margaretha Maria Jacobsdatter Lund on 7 Dec 1753 in Sokndal, Rogaland, Norway. Margaretha was born on 5 Mar 1724 in Abildsnes, Hidra, Vest-Agder, Norway; died on 22 Feb 1761 in Sokndal, Rogaland, Norway; was buried on 2 Mar 1761 in Sokndal, Rogaland, Norway.

    Notes:

    I en familieopptegnelse fra slutningen av det 18. årh. anføres det at han i sin ungdom ervervet seg midler ved å seile rundt med en slupp og forsynte flåten med proviant under krigen med Sverige. Hvordan det enn kan forholde seg hermed, så kan det i hvert fall sees at Jan Kielland allerede tidlig har hatt noen kapital til sin rådighet. 4. desember 1721, da han nylig var blitt gift, festet han av sin svigerfar en grunn i Sogndalsstranden. Han nedsatte seg der som handelsmann, kalles 1729 velfornemme borger til Christiansand og tok tillike borgerskap i Stavanger. En av stiftamtmannen 14. juni 1727 autorisert regnskapsbok er ennå bevart. Hans virksomhet omfattet alminnelig kjøpmannshandel, pengeforretninger, skipsrederi samt fiske i Sogndalselven. Han ses bl.a. å ha hatt varige forbindelser på Bragernes, dit han avskipet fiskevarer. I et dokument, datert Stavanger 5. november 1743, ansatte han sin formue til ca. 3000 Rd. Han eiet 1 bismerpund 3 merker smør i Saurdal, som 15. mars 1730 blev bortbygslet, og kjøpte derhos: 2. oktober 1732 2 bismerpund 6 merker smør i Nedre Aamot med odel og åsete, hvilken gård han allerede 1734 bortbygslet og 11. mars 1761 atter solgte; 4. mars 1737 1 mark smør i Gytland, solgt 10. november 1738, og 11 merker smør i Ytre Myland, solgt 14. november 1740; 8. januar 1741 1 løp 1 bismerpund 19 merker smør og 5. april 1743 17 merker smør i Haneberg, atter solgt 3. februar 1765; enn videre 2 bismerpund smør og 11 merker smør i Aarstad, solgt 19. mars 1744 og 29. mars 1753, samt 10 ½ merker smør i Øyestad, solgt 14. november 1748. Allerede 24. februar 1724 hadde han kjøpt 1/6 i Sogndal kirke for 113 Rd. Senere tilkjøpte han flere anparter, så at han kom til å eie 5/8 i kirken. 4/8 solgtes 18. desember 1765 for 370 Rd., mens 1/8 etter hans bestemmelse av sønnene blev skjenket sognets fattige 9. januar 1769.
    De offentlige protokoller viser at Jan Kielland har sittet i temmelig utstrakt virksomhet, og at han ubetinget har vært stedets betydeligste handelsmann. At han også har nydt distriktets aktelse og tillit, synes å fremgå av de mange verv som verge og lagverge, som var ham overdratt. På sine gamle dager opphørte han med handelen og tok bolig på Haneberg. Noen offentlig skifteforretning etter ham finnes ikke, men det er grunn til å anta at han etterlot seg en etter forholdene betydelig formue. Det er fra hans siste år oppbevart noen få opptegnelser, som tyder på at han har vært en meget religiøst anlagt mann.



    In a family record from the end of the 18th century. It is stated that in his youth he acquired funds by sailing around with a slip and supplying the fleet with provisions during the war with Sweden. Whatever the case may be, it can at least be seen that Jan Kielland already had some capital at his disposal early on. On December 4, 1721, when he had recently been married, he attached his father-in-law to a land in Sogndalsstrand. He settled there as a trader, was called the well-known citizen of Christiansand in 1729 and also took citizenship in Stavanger. One of the founding dean on June 14, 1727, an authorized accounting book is still preserved. His business included general merchandising, money stores, shipping companies and fishing in the Sogndalselven. He is seen, among other things. having had lasting connections at Bragernes, where he shipped off fishery products. In a document dated Stavanger November 5, 1743, he employed his fortune for approx. 3000 Rd. He owned 1 bismer pound 3 brands of butter in Saurdal, which was demolished on March 15, 1730, and bought it: October 2, 1732 2 bismer pound 6 brands butter in Lower Aamot with cheese and cheese, which farm he already removed in 1734 and March 11, 1761 resold; March 4, 1737 1 mark butter in Gytland, sold November 10, 1738, and 11 brands butter in Ytre Myland, sold November 14, 1740; January 8, 1741 1 run 1 bismer pound 19 brands butter and April 5, 1743 17 brands butter in Haneberg, again sold February 3, 1765; even 2 bismer pound butter and 11 brands butter in Aarstad, sold March 19, 1744 and March 29, 1753, as well as 10 ½ marks butter in Øyestad, sold November 14, 1748. Already February 24, 1724 he had bought 1/6 in Sogndal church for 113 Rd. Later he bought several shares, so he came to own 5/8 in the church. 4/8 was sold on December 18, 1765 for 370 Rd, while 1/8 according to his determination of the sons was bestowed on the parish's poor 9 January 1769.
    The public protocols show that Jan Kielland has been in rather extensive business and that he has unquestionably been the most important trader of the place. The fact that he also enjoyed the district's esteem and trust appears to be evident from the many offices of the guardian and lawyer, who were entrusted to him. In his old days, he ceased trading and took up residence at Haneberg. Some public shift business after him does not exist, but there is reason to assume that he left behind a substantial wealth. From his last year, a few records have been kept, suggesting that he has been a very religious man.
