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) | |

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.
