Peter Arnesson Oddenbyåsen i Hof

[dn20912]

I'm researching Peter Arnesson Oddenbyåsen i Hof (1802-1886) married Christina Pettersdatter Letheråsen i Svierge 1828. I'm looking for church record of his birth.

I think I have found the right Peter Arnesson (in church records called Peder) though his age differs. Peter Arnesson was baptized 23 February 1794 as son of Arne Mikkelsson and Helene Olsdatter who then lived at the farm Amundrud in Våler.

The farm Audenbyåsen was also in Våler. But there is no farm by that name to-day. Peter and his parents came to Audenbyåsen around 1802. His mother died 12 May 1821 and then there was a division of inheritance on the farm Audenbyåsen after Helena Olsdatter, the wife of Arne Mikkelsson. And Peter (Peder) Arnesson then seems to be the oldest son since he inherits the farm by paying his siblings and his parents' creditors.

This Peder/Peter is the only one that seems possible in Hof parish. By this time Hof parish had to sub parishes called Våler and Åsnes.

What do you think of this? Fine if you could say something more about Peter, - do you have the exact date for Peter's marriage and where in Sweden, where did he and Christina live, and also the name of his children? By comparing their names with those of Peter's parents and siblings that may give an indication if this is the right Peter.

If you agree that this is the right Peter, I will look up more about his family.
