Br.4: Vollane
The name was written Mittwnn 1522, Mitthun 1563, 1603, 1611, Mitun 1666, And Midthun 1723. This name is easy to understand, it means the farm in the middle. Let us start with the users. In 1522 we find Jon here, in 1563 we find Bjørn here, and from early 1600 we find Einar here. Then in 1624 we find Ola here, Håkon until 1630, Knut in 1640. Then we find Sven here, from 1641 til at least 1682. Sven was from Hæreid. In 1684 we find Ola Løenson Hestetun here. He was here until 1706. Then came an Tore here, and finaly we find Kristoffer Årebru here. In 1725 This farm became the Kings property and was used by the copper mill. In 1768 it all was sold , and there were two bayers. Jon Rasmusson Åbøle bought one part, and Otto Person Fåberg the other. In 1769 Jon split his part into two separate parts, and sold one to his brother-in-law, Nils Aslakson Nundal, so there where three "Bruks" here. We continue with br.3.This was half the farm in 1768. As we have told before, Otto Person Fåberg bought this in 1768. Otto was born in 1739 and had been a teacher before he started as a farmer. Otto had this farm for two years before he moved back to Luster, where he died in 1804. He sold this farm to Kristen Torleivson Haganes, also from Luster in 1770. Kristen was born in 1709 and died in 1764. He was married in 1746 to Martha Johannesdtr Søvde. They had three children. Their son Johannes got this farm in 1778. Johannes was born in 1755. He was not married, and perhaps that is the reason for that in 1787, he split this farm into two parts, br.3 and br.4 and sold one part to Nils Holsæter and br.4 to Eirik Olson Ve. We continue with br.4. Eirik was born in 1749 and married in 1770 with Gurid Larsdtr. Eirik died in 1792, leaving his widow and 4 children behind. First his son Ola born 1777 got this farm. But Ola drowned in 1802 and his brother Lars got it. Lars Eirikson was born in 1785 and married in 1813 with Synneva Øren. Lars died in 1862 and Synneva in 1852. They had 10 children. Their son Eirik then got this farm. Eirik Larson was born in 1818 and married in 1847 with Johanna Olsdtr Ve . They had 9 children. First their son Ola Eirikson got this farm, but since he was unmarried , he gave it to his sister Mari. Mari Eiriksdtr was born in 1849 and married with Ola Tomasson Hestetun in 1869. Their son Tomas Olson then got this farm. Tomas was born in 1870 and married with Mari Holsæter. They had 9 children. Today the farm no longer exist, but a grandchild lives here on this place.
