Jon Trondson (KVÅLE) KATTEVOLD

Abt 1500 - Abt 1550  (~ 50 years)

• Name	Jon Trondson (KVÅLE) KATTEVOLD
  Birth	Abt 1500	Vestre Slidre, Oppland Fylke, Norway
  Gender	Male
  Residence	Kattevold 44/1 Nigarden, Valdres
  Death	Abt 1550
  Notes	We don't know much about Jon, but there is a lot that indicates that he came from Storekvåle. His daughter Anne was supposed to have been born there. Kattevold had been a large farm, that earlier was divided into two main farms -- Øvre 45/ and Nedre 44/. These were later split up into smaller parts. The lower farm (Nedre) was divided into Nigarden Myrejordet Sygarden or Burtigarden and Skeie. Jon T. Kattewoll (his name was written thus) owned Kattevold 44/ in 1528, but he was named at the same time at Kvåle in Vestre Slidre. It is likely, therefore, that he had not moved to Kattevold 44/ until a little later. He may have given the farm to his son Trond about 1560. It is possible that there were already two farms here before 1600 and that Asbjørn J. Kattewoll, who was on one of them (Sygarde or Burtigarden) was also a son of Jon Kvåle/Kattevoll. This Asbjørn was a juror in 1591 and was present at the ceremony when Prince Christian IV was crowned king in Oslo in 1610. This shows the kind of position Kattevold had in that time. There is plenty of evidence for a connection with Storekvåle. The fact that the important Dorthe Kolding, widow of Jørgen Greel, married into the Kattevold family is also evidence that the people at Kattevold were upper class.
