  Notes	Knut og Marit hadde 8 barn: Nils, Knut, Ola, Torgeir, Gullik, Knut, Valgjerd og Ingebjørg. Knut overtok gården i 1818 og brukte den til 1854. Da han ga den til sønnen Nils, skilte han ut Molor og de den delen til den nest eldste sønnen Knut. Knud Nilsen's ga'rd was located on a large (and very old) estate called Jorstad. In about 1680, Jorstad was split into northern and southern divisions, with the southern division (Sore Jorstad) later divided into three ga'rd, one of which was call ed Hougen (or Haugen, or Jorstadhaugen). Knud Nilsens' family could use either "Jorstad" or "Hougen" as identification, but it appers that Jorstad was preferred. This custom applied to hussmenn as well as bonder. When people moved from one ga'r d to another, they did not take the name with them.
