Datteren Åsa gav i testamente en gave til Trøgstad kirke. Dette tyder på at hennes far var Salmund på Herset som nevnes i år 1311. Salmund-navnet er så sjeldent at det er all mulig grunn til å anta at Åsas stamfar var Salmund Sigurdsson som i 1120-årene var gjaldkere(byfogd) i Tønsberg.[1]


English translation (with help from Google translate): His daughter Åsa gave a gift to Trøgstad church in his honour. This suggests that her father was Salmund of Herset who was mentioned in the year 1311. The name Salmund is so rare that there is every reason to believe that Åsa's ancestor was Salmund Sigurdsson who was a bailiff in Tønsberg in the 1120's.[1]
