Mari Martinsdatter (Mortendatter) born about 1752

I am searching for Mari Martinsdatter the mother of Ole Olsen who was illegitimate and born on 14 June 1771:

As you can see, the father was Ole Olsen of Fossen. Mari Martinsdatter and Ole Olsen did not marry one another. In fact, I cannot find that Mari Martinsdatter ever married. It seems to me that Mari Martinsdatter was buried on 31 December 1775 at Loftingmoen at the age of 24: http://www.digitalarkivet.no/cgi-win/we ... mn=lesjabg
In all the other records available for Lesja, there is no other Mari Martinsdatter who could plausibly be his mother. I believe this Mari Martinsdatter was the daughter of Martin Engebretsen and Marit Engebretsdatter of Loftingmoen and Tondevold. It also seems highly likely to me that when Mari Martinsdatter was baptized her name was incorrectly recorded as Anne Martinsdatter instead of Mari Martinsdatter. The child listed as "Anne" at the time of her baptism would have been the exact age that Mari Martinsdatter was when she died. Also, there are no Anne Martinsdatters listed at all in any of the Lesja records other than at the time of her baptism. "Anne" Martinsdatter's baptism is listed in early January, 1752, of Tondevold: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?i ... _side=-175
Her father Morten of Loftingmoen and his wife are introduced to the congregation at Lesja on 5 February 1752:

If anyone has any information regarding this family it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Sincerely, Larry Justad

I have made a new discovery and now believe that a different Mari Martinsdatter was most likely the mother of Ole Olsen. It would be Mari Martinsdatter who was born at Skraedder and was the daughter of Martin Bolougsen and Marit Olsdatter, who was born on 27 February 1736: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1 ... 470200.jpg
I have found her in the 1763 extra tax rolls as living with her father and stepmother at Haggestad:
http://arkivverket.no/URN:db_read/db/45 ... ium&mode=0 This seems more logically the Mari Martinsdatter I am searching for because some of her very same neighbors in the 1763 extra tax rolls serve as witnesses at the baptism of her son in 1771. There is, however, no recording of her death in the Lesja parish records, and she is not listed in the 1801 census. Anyone who may be able to provide additional information, especially from the bygdebok, would be great appreciated. Thank you, Larry Justad.
