    'Bjørn Kilen. Reider ut saltverkskatt 1609-11 og 1619-20. Er førd som odelsbonde 1611-1641.'

    translation: Bjørn Kilen. ??? out saltworks tax 1609-11 and 1619-20. He is listed as freeholder 1611-1641.

    While he is not identified as the son of Halduor Kilen, listed immediately before him, Bjørn is identified as the odelsbonde (freeholder, usually hereditary farmer) and the odelsbonde in the next generation was named Halduor, making it a reasonable probability that the first 3 known farmers in Kilen were 3 generations of the same family.
