• Notes

  Etter foreldrene arvet han Eve i Heskestad 1 bismerpund smør, 1 bismerpund 3 merker smør i Saurdal i Sogndal, hvorav han solgte 18 merker til broren Lauritz, og 6 spd. korn i Hetland i Birkreim, bortbygslet 4. desember 1701. Han kjøpte dertil sammen med broren Lauritz 31. mars 1698 1 bismerpund 1 mark smør i Haneberg og bygslet 18. november 1695 den del av Nedre Løvaas med sletten som broren Ellef hadde brukt, samt 2. mars 1696 og 18. januar 1699 to anparter i Aarstad. Sr. Jacob Kielland, som (før 1691) hadde hatt borgerskap til Christiansand, synes å ha drevet ikke ubetydelig forretninger. 1693 skattet han til garnisonens underhold i Christiansand 6 Rd. - Høyeste skatt dersteds 24 Rd. og laveste 1 mark, og han hadde mange debitorer rundt i Sogndal og de tilstøtende distrikter. 1701 sees han med sin skute, 4 lester, å ha gjort flere reiser med fiskevarer m.m. til Christiania og Drammen. Han fungerte sammen med broren Lauritz som offentlig beskikket besiktigelsesmann og hadde befatning med havarisaker. Lykken sviktet ham imidlertid fullstendig. 24. august 1708 måtte han selge sitt hus og sjøhus i Sogndalstranden. 13. september s. å. solgte han en tredjedel i skibet "Giertrud Cecilia" for 200 Rd., og 21. november s. å måtte han også skille seg ved hva han hadde tilbake av jordegods. Av tingbøkene fremgår det at han bl. a. var kommet i gjeld til Sr. Tørres Christensen i Mandalen, og av tolder Jens Duns i Flekkefjord var han blitt forstrakt med penger "til hans Skibsrums Befordring til Dunkerchen". Han tok nu for noen tid bolig i Flekkefjord. Rettsprotokollen for Lister (Riksark. Nr. 2297 fol. 5) inneholder følgende tilførsel fra vårsaketinget på Fedde tingsted den 4de mars 1709: "Jakob Nielsen Kielland, borger til Christiansand og boende i Flechefiord, frembkom og tilkiendegav hvor uløkelig hand nu i forbigagne Aar haver mist hans Skibsrum kaldet Dirche Zicilia paa Reise her fra ad Skotland, lad med Trælast, hvorudi han reddede den halve part, og for dette endnu staar i Debet: Tilforne, ligesaa uløkelig, ved Søen forlist een sin Farkost ved Landning, Er nu formedelst saadanne store anstød (disverre) geraaden i gield og saa slet tilstand, at hand fast ingen Raad eller middel veed til sin og børns ernæring, end sige at fortsette sin borgerlige handel og brug, som han hidtil haver stræbt at vedholde, men nu for hannem maa ligge øde; Dette alt i henseende allerunderdanigst at søge Kongel. Naade til nogen hjelp og Rædning igjen - og tilspurde hand nu samtl. Nærværende Almue, om dennem denne hans store modgang ej er bevist? Dertil de Svarede, at det noksom en hver er vitterlig, og beklagede derhos at hannem saa contraire er gaaen, saasom da hand sad med nogen tilstand i sit borgerlige brug, har hand bistaaet en hver som hannem søgt haver, med hvis hand nogenlunde har kunnet komme afsted, omskiønt hand selv hos mange haver taget skade og misbetaling - Herpaa hand da et Tingsvidne af Retten var begierende" . Senere bodde han avvekslende i Flekkefjord og på gården Løvås i Sogndal. I 1712 sees han påny å være kommet noe til krefter, idet han da kjøpte en anpart, 28 merker smør, i gården Midbø. Han eiet nå også gården Egeland, 36 merker smør, i Heskestad. I 1717 opptrådte han som befullmektiget i havarisak. Han nevnes 1720 som værende østerpå og 1721 som "velfornemme borger" i et skifte i Sogndal. Død på Hvidbrandsøen ved Haugesund 4. desember 1726 og begravet i Haugesund kirke. Hans sønn Jan sier i sine opptegnelser, etter å ha omtalt farens død: " Der skal sig ingen af verden rose før hand i graven er komen haver hand som andre Syndere udi verden gud høyelig fortørnet saa maatte hand noch tit klage at herren hafde fuld skienchet hans beger som han sagde sig noch at haue fortient den som synes at kunde været klogere det maatte ønskes at vi af andris skade kunde blive viis." Jacob married Echen Jansdatter, daughter of Jan Henrichsen and Elisabeth Jacobsdatter. (Echen Jansdatter was born circa 1672 and died circa 1701.) After the parents he inherited Eve in Heskestad 1 bishop's pound butter, 1 bismer pound 3 brands butter in Saurdal in Sogndal, of which he sold 18 brands to his brother Lauritz, and 6 spd. grain in Hetland in Birkreim, remodeled on December 4, 1701. He bought it together with his brother Lauritz on March 31, 1698 1 bismerpund 1 mark butter in Haneberg and the building block November 18, 1695 the part of Nedre Løvaas with the plain that the brother Ellef had used, and March 2, 1696 and January 18, 1699, two shares in Aarstad. Sr. Jacob Kielland, who (before 1691) had had the bourgeoisie of Christiansand, seems to have run insignificant business. In 1693 he treasured the garrison's maintenance in Christiansand 6 Rd. - Highest tax there 24th Rd. and lowest 1 mark, and he had many debtors around in Sogndal and the adjacent districts. In 1701 he is seen with his ship, 4 tests, having made several trips with fishery products etc. to Christiania and Drammen. He worked with his brother Lauritz, who publicly appointed an inspector and was in charge of accident cases. Happiness, however, completely failed him. On August 24, 1708, he had to sell his house and sea house in Sogndalstrand. On September 13, he sold a third in the ship "Giertrud Cecilia" for 200 rd, and on November 21 he had to distinguish himself with what he had left of the estate. It appears from the land register that he has, among other things, a. had come into debt to Sr. Tørres Christensen in Mandalen, and by the customs officer Jens Duns in Flekkefjord, he had been extorted with money "to the ship's room for transportation to the Dunkerchen". He now took residence for some time in Flekkefjord. The legal record for Lister (Riksark. No. 2297 fol. 5) contains the following entry from the spring lawsuit at Fedde tingsted on March 4, 1709: "Jakob Nielsen Kielland, a citizen of Christiansand and a resident of Flechefiord, made and handed over how unfortunate the hand now has lost his ship's room, called Dirche Zicilia on a journey here from Scotland, leave with lumbering to save half the party, and for this is still in the debate: Admit, as unkind, by the sea, one bypasses his craft at landing, is now by such great stumbling blocks (disvergence) the guise of the gield and so vile state, that no firm or means knowing its and children's nutrition than say to continue his bourgeois trade and use, which he has so far endeavored to maintain, but now for the sake of his despair, this all in all respects to seek the king, grace to any help and fear again - and now hand in hand. Present Almue, if this one has not proved his great adversity, to the same, replied that each one is well-known, and regretted that he was so contraire, as if he were ed any condition in his bourgeois use, the hand has assisted every one who has applied for gardens, whose hand has been about to get away, circumcised hand even in many gardens, and damage and misconduct - Hereupon when a witness of the court was covetous ". Later he lived alternately in Flekkefjord and on the farm Løvås in Sogndal. In 1712 he was once again seen to have come into power, when he then bought a share, 28 brands of butter, in the farm Midbø. He now also owned the farm Egeland, 36 brands of butter, in Heskestad. In 1717 he acted as an agent in a casualty. He is mentioned in 1720 as being eastern and in 1721 as "well-known citizen" in a shift in Sogndal. Death at Hvidbrandsøen near Haugesund on December 4, 1726 and buried in Haugesund church. His son Jan says in his records, after mentioning his father's death: "No one of the world should stand before hand in the grave has come hand in hand like other sinners in the world god highly upset so hand hand often complain that the gentleman had full skienchet his cup as he said no to haue to deserve the one who seems to customer been wiser it had to be wished that we might be injured by others.
