   translation: Torgrim's son, Steinulv, also called Steinar, had taken over the farm [Borgja] in 1610, when he was identified as a lease holding tenant farmer. But this Steinulv must have improved himself significantly. He is referred to as a court member in various affairs, and he was sheriff from 1640-42, when the council was held at Borgja. Steinulv Borgja had gathered great wealth - a total of 16 tønner and 1 hud (units of land) in Borgja, Staurheim, Mid-Bø, Roe, Forberget and Nordheim. In 1645 he was dead, for his widow Ingeborg Einarsdatter from Staurheim is listed with Borgja.
