• 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.
