      Røysland

      The name comes from pile - pile of stones, and A. Bugge thinks it has been the burial mounds there before the farm was Rudd. After the name of the judge is Røysland utskild from another large farm in tidier between 700-900 AD. It has been ålmen meaning that it Røysland was e burial mound from the Viking time probably a chieftain's grave, but in subsequent investigations, they have come after that there is scant burial mound. It is otherwise found a hatchet and a bronze jewelry in the vicinity.

      Røysland is mentioned in 1593. When was it written Ryzzeland. The man called Alf, but the year after the Tore who owns the farm which is then taxed as half farm. Skyldi have all been tidier 1 tn. Excellence 1615-1630 Heitmann Torgeir and the farm was when the tax made sometimes as half farm, and sometimes as Øydegard. It had thus not been any large farm. In 1645 there were Brynjulv Rue owned the farm. He must have been a wealth man, he owned the sake of
      several farms so he had total of 6 tn. At the time, born the 1 horse, 6 cows and 17 sheep.

      January 1660 vein, it is mentioned three owners Jorge, Gro and Oluf (Ola), and here we have probably the ancestor of ætti that mostly has been on Røysland and that is there now. It is John who owns the farm. Son His name was John and
      he was married to Birgit Knutsdtr. They probably had several children, but we know only Ola Olsson, GM Gyry Olsdtr, and Birgit, g. 1732 m. Øystein Halvorsson, GjØystdal.

      There was a change for John Olsson in 1709 and curved gave 291 rdl net. It looks like Brynjulv Rue has been medeigar for in 1715 eight zone his Mats 1 / 2 tn. and widow of John 1 / 2 tn. These TVO married and sat with the farm for many years. It is called in 1723, "Matz Brynhildsens with StedbØrnene". The farm belonged when hustimmer, firewood and a slåttestaul. They were born 1 / 2 horse, 4 cows and 9 sheep.

      In 1730, it looks like it's TVO use. Mats and Birgit Use 1 / 2 tn. sake. Births 2 cows, 1 calf, 4 sheep, 2 goats, 1/2 horse. They planted 3 KVT. and harvested 41 / 2 tn. when it was not skinår. On the other half was Ola Olsson, 42 years, GM Gyry Olsdtr. 42. It was the same as births among Mats so the task of Cadastre 1723 can hardly be right. Ola and Gyry had these borni:
      1. Gro Olsdtr,, b. 1710.
      3. Birgit, b. 1716.
      4. Anne, b. 1717.
      5. Ola, b. 1719.
      6. Ola, b. 1723.
      7. Knut, b. 1726, vs. 1758 with Svånung Alvsdtr.

      In the vein gang farm over to Ola Olsson, GM Margit Torgeirsdtr. Ingolvsland, sd (He had altso be married two times.) He was guilty dean Quisling 99 rdl, and pledge 1 / 2 tn. guilt, and later in 1737 he pledge the other half to Qvisling. In 1742 he sold the farm to the dean for 450 rdl The money went to the redemption of syskinni and 40 rdl to place his father Matt. Ola had soleis gvarken farm or money. No eight Qvisling farm until 1748. Then mate changed his
      farms with Jon Olsson Rollag and paid 50 rdl and 4 years of taxes in an intermediate layer. Jon had the farm for 1754. When he sold Røysland to John and Knut Olsson with one half on each. Knut and John were brothers ate Gyry who was married to "Sheath-Johan" - father ate Ola Johannesson - see change on the Beach 1813. These TVO brothers have farm ihop to 1765. When John sold his share to Knut for 280 rdl Knut and Svånaug had these children:
      1. Ola Knutsson, b. 1759, g. 1736 m. Guro Halvorsdtr. GjØystdal, lived on Kåsabrote.
      2. Alf, b. 1763, g. 1816 m. Agot Torgrimsdtr. GjØystdal, s. d.
      3. Birgit, b. 1765, g. m. Hellek Olsson GjØystdal.
      4. Hellek, b. 1771, g. 1800 m. Susanne Jonsdtr. Rollag flutter to Etne parish.
      5. Gyry, b. 1775, g. 1797, m. Gunnulv GjØystdal, flutter to Suldal.

      It seems that Knut sat cramped in there, for he pantset farm Ola Hove from The Progress of 260 rdl and 1787 he sold half the farm to Ola Olsson Langset of 472 rdl and the other half to his son Alv Knutsson of 390 rdl . In 1793 had Hellek Knutsson bought back the party Ola Langset eight so now it is again TVO brother of the same ætti that farm. It probably dates from the time that the farm was change in TVO use soleis that Hellek and Birgit had Røysland and Alf got Roe. It is called that Husi on the old Røysland stood in between the farms that now. In 1802, states: "The
      ordinary good Smaabrug".

      In 1801 sold Hellek Knutsson farm to D. v. Cappelen for 1109 rdl and was use to to keep everything maintained, respond land rent "3 årstage" and cones. taxes. No had Hellek captivate money and in 1809 he bought Roe of Elf for 600 rdl Hellek makeover changed with Cappelen soleis that Hellek got themselves Guard against Cappelen got woods that belonged to Roe. Hellek got 500 rdl in the interlayer. By skylddeilingi Røysland was seen in 4 sets. and forest in the 2 In the same way it was done in Roe. In 1812 makeover changed Hellek Knutsson away febeite and DamtjØnn Knut Olsson GjØystdal and was again buried island. It looks like the rest of the farm was well driven. Those born in 1835 a horse, 9 cattle, 9 sheep. They planted 3 tn. buildings and 4 tn potatoes.

      Hellek Knutsson and Susanne had these borni:
      1. Knut Helleksson, b. 1800, GM Lisbet Nilsdtr., Rt Suldal 1824. Lisbet was innflutt from Suldal.

      January 1822 Hellek sold the farm to Tore Torsteinsson Lurås-Rue. Tore was g. m. Aslaug Torsteinsdtr. Mårheim, daughter ate Torstein Neridsson. Hellek flutter to Storekås and later in 1828 to Suldal. Tore Torsteinsson and Aslaug had these borni:
