About Ole Olsen Ness

Ole Olsen var som vi ser, født i 1774 i Vester-Ness. Han ble gift i 1799 med Sara Olsdatter Lennes, født 1773 på Lennesvald i Ness. Hennes foreldre var Ole Olsen og kone Ragnhild Olsdatter Lennes.

Før Ole giftet seg, hadde han overtatt gården Ness Vestre etter faren som døde i 1798.

1 en 5 års tid, fram til 1805, drev han gården sammen med sin bror Halvor Olsen Ness. Ved skjøte av 8. august 1807 overtok Halvor en del av Vester-Ness som fra først av ble kalt Søndre Vestre Ness, men fikk snart navnet Millom-Ness som gården siden har hatt som navn.

I tillegg til at Ole Olsen var gårdbruker var han også vaktmester. Det ser ut til å ha gått dårlig økonomisk for Ole. Ved hans død i 1820 var boet fallitt, besetningen ubetydelig og gjelda stor. Gården var verdsatt til 800 spdl.

Enka Sara giftet seg i 1821 med Jon Pedersen Kvello som etter det overtok gården. Ole og Sara hadde 6 barn sammen.

Ifølge Verdalsboka: Heimer og folk i Ness s 110 og 111.

His descendants still live on the Ness farm in Verdal.

In the 1801 census, he and his wife and daughter live on Næss Vestre.

Ole and his brother Halvor ran Vesterness from 1797 or so until 1803 when Halvor bought part of Vesterness from Ole for 899 Riksdaler. The new farm was assessed in 1805, at which time, presumably, the independent existence of the new farm, initially called Southern Vesterness, later to be called Millomness, was established. Halvor received full title to the land on August 8, 1807. At that point, Halvor would run the Millomness farm and his brother Ole would run what remained of the original Vestnerness farm.

In addition to the farm, Nina says that Ole was also a janitor for some organization or establishment.

Ole died in 1820 and was declared bankrupt, a financial event that required Halvor to give up Millomness. According to Nina, Ole’s farm did not have many animals and the debt was large. The farm’s value was 800 spdl.

There was not a west Ness farm in the 1865 Norwegian census, only Næss mellem and Næss østre.
