'I 1604 heitte bonden på garden Knut, og han var kanskje son til Solve. Til nå har ikkje ætterekkja vore heilt sikker, men i 1610 er Torjus på Nordigard nemnd, og i 1624 blir det sagt at han var odelsmann. Dermed er det truleg at dei som tidlegare er nemnde på garden, er hans ættefedre. Frå fyrst av åtte han bare halve garden eller 2 tn, den andre halvparten åtte Tore Funnemark, også som odel. Det kan kanskje vere slik at Torjus og Tore var sysken. Torjus blei snart ein av dei rike i bygda, alt i 1610 åtte han 12 tn jordegods innan- og utanbygds. Same året blei han valt av sine sambygdingar til kongehyllinga i Oslo. Men han kom nå likevel i konflikt med lov og styremakt. I 1616 måtte han bøte 21.2 rd fordi han "uten billig aarsag" hadde bunde Pål koparslagar.
... Ved skiftet etter han i 1642 var jordegodset 9 tn i nordre og midtre Erikstein, Kasland i Seljord og Roholt i Vrådal.'
translation (with help from Google translate): In 1604, the farmer on the farm was called Knut, who was perhaps the son of Solve. Up to this time, no lineage had been completely sure, but in 1610 Torjus is mentioned at Nordigard, and in 1624 it is said that he was the heir. Thus, it is likely that those previously mentioned on the farm were his ancestors. Originally, he owned only half the farm or 2 tn; the other half was owned by Tore Funnemark, also as heir. There is a possibility that Torjus and Tore were siblings. Torjus was soon one of the richest in the village; in 1610 he owned 12 tn of lands in and outside the village. The same year, he was chosen by his fellow villagers to pay homage to the king in Oslo. But he was nevertheless in conflict with the law and authority. In 1616 he had to pay a fine of 21.2 rd because he had for "no good reason" struck farmer Pål.
... At the settlement of his estate in 1642, land goods were 9 tn in northern and central Erikstein, Kasland in Seljord and Roholt in Vrådal.
