Thomas Hendrichsen of Bagjord in Valberg before 1701

[dn26520]

Thomas Hendrichsen of Bagjord was my seven great-grandfather. He first appears in the 1701 census at Bagjord in Valberg with his four sons: http://www.trekilen.com/Valberg_1701.html At that time it says he is 56 years old. I do not know where he may have come from. Apparently, where he came from is not listed in the Valberg bygdebok. Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated.
