Ancestors 528 – 529

Ancestor 528 (1,000,010,000):  7GGF Jens Joensen (1678 – 3/22/1744)  Ancestor 529 (1,000,010,001):  7GGM Magla Clausdatter (b. c. 1680) 
 His parents  Their ancestral child Her parents 

Jens, a farmer, was born on Utsira Island and died on Sund Farm, Stangaland (aka Kopervik) Parish on Karmøy Island.  I am not clear just when he moved, but I think it was as a young adult.  He and Magla married “near Haugesund”, 1 so presumably they raised their child(ren) on Sund Farm.  Joen was born in 1708.  They may have had an older son.

I haven’t seen any information about Magla’s death, but Jens married a second wife, Ingeborg Ivarsdatter, and may have had more children with her. 2

Jon is buried at Avaldsnes Church.
