  Notes	In 1825 there was a public auction of the farm and a relative of Ivar, Thomas Leirol, bought it for 600 spd. Ivar was imprisoned to labor for life at Akershus in 1805 for the murder of the thief Hans Kørstad. He escaped (or possibly was pardoned) from Akershus in 1812. In court that year, his wife asked if there was anyone who found fault with him, because she wanted to try to get him home again. No one had anything bad to say about Ivar. Therefore, there was no one who objected to his returning to Bøe. Ivar signed away all rights to his inheritence from his parents, to the advantage of his siblings, because he had received the farm. Before he was sent to Akershus, he was a clever workman. It is he we can thank for the large strips of field along Helin. He was a good negotiator and bought forest land that his sucessors at Bøe too easily gave up, often for lack of knowledge of how the land had been acquired by the farm. Ivar carried on business outside of Valdres. B. Kattevold wrote: "Han Ivar Boe fortel: Det e kje lenger sia enn då e va i Gudbransdale, handla fe, at e råkte på ein gamal bonde som var vel kjend i Valdris, både i skog og fjell. E rodde mangt med hono, og han fotelde me at han hadde gange med BJODNAHAM i valdris i 12 år. "E ha 7 kyrbjollo ligjande negrava unde ei tyrirot i Fristad- marken", sa mannen. Det var en hel sommeren 1804 at stortjuvene i bygda trodde sjolmenne var på stole. De gjorde innbrudd flere steder og kom også opp i Boe. Der stjal de det de fant. Om morgenen etter lå dugget så tjukt at det var lett å folge sporet. Noen håndfaste karer fra Boe-grenda som var igjen i bygda tok opp jakten på thuvene. De tok dem igjen ved Ala-åne, (det gikk seint med tjuvene for de hadde mye å bære på), En av tuvene ble liggende igjen etter at Bo-karadb hadde stelt med dem. Ivar hadde hatt med seg en bismar, ingen kunne bevise hvem som hadde drept husmannen fra Kårstad, men pga bismaren fikk Ivar skylda og ble domt til livsvarig på Akershus. Om han virkelig romte eller ble benådet er uklart. Det var sporsmål etter ham men han ble aldri hentet tilbake. Bygde- folket stilte opp for ham. Husmannen Hans A Kårstad, so ble drept, hadde drevet stort med tjuveri i mange år, viste det seg etter ransaking hos ham." See 1801 Census, Vangs Prestegjeld, Bøe Søndre.
