1784  - Ole  is born to Enger-Jens Olsen Cloppe Avernen and Kristi Johansdatter.  I know it's hard to believe this is actually Johan but I confirmed it with other Johans on the same page.  Datter is almost always abbreviated to dtr.

The above document shows that Olia was born to Ole Jenson and Marte Nilson of Aadalen farm.  She is born here on July 16, 1817.  This farm is described for its history the following translated by Google from the Danish to English.   The same plot of land had been several close name changes.  It was called Aardalen/Aadalen from 1604, by 1616 it was changed to Oudahl,  then changed again to Oudallen in 1669, by 1723 it was listed as Oudahlen.  It seems that the original name is still being used in 1817.  

This partial map of Løten and Romedal area of Hedmark comes from 1862
several farms on which our relatives have lived. Look for Oudalen south of Leuthen.

1870- Bernt Johansen Egeberg immigrated to New York in 1870 then to Texas. Once settled in Texas, Bernt sent for his sister Oliane Marianne Egeberg.

1878 - Norweigian records of Løiten list Olia and Knud at the farm Brovold.

                                                [Morthoff - Loten book, vol. 3]


The farm Brovold is where Knud Olsen and Olia Olsdatter lived.  In another record it is stated that this was a small plot of land where potatoes were grown. It was owned by the Crown from 1669.  It was uninhabited from 1887.  I believe that Knud and Olia were serfs on the land with little to loose and everything to gain by emigrating. 


1878 -Marianne Oliane sailed for America on August 30, 1878. Bernt paid for her passage and obtained a job for her at the plantation of Col. J. R. Henry, just south of Mexia, Texas. Only a couple of month after her arrival her father, Knud died October 6, 1878. While in Texas, Marianne met Evan Rohne and married 15 Dec. 1880 Limestone Co., TX.


1881 - Olea Olsdatter Egeberg, having seen her children go to America and her husband dead, she had no reason to stay in Norway. She also sails to America September 2, 1881 with the destination listed as Waco, Texas on the ship "Rollo" of the Wilson Line.  This ship is one of many ships that ran multiple trips between Christiania (Oslo), Norway and Hull, England.  From Hull passengers were escorted onto trains that took them to one of the main points of departure, perhaps Liverpool. I have not been able to find a record of her voyage from England to date.

She may have caught a ship like Evan Rohne did that would take her to New Orleans or Galveston. 


Once in Texas she lived both with her son but mostly with her daughter, Marianne and Evan Rohne, her new son-in-law. She lived with them for over thirty years. As in most extended families she undoubtedly was very useful with helping to care for the large number of children in the Rohne family. She would certainly have helped to cook the meals for the farm hands during harvest and help with the laundry activities on a regular basis.[Norge in Texas p. 416]


1911, August 14 - Olea Olsdatter is buried at the Rock Church, Cranfills Gap, Bosque Co., TX in the plot with Evan and Marianne Rohne. The statement on the stone reads, " ... stop deliverance. ...... " [cemetery marker,  plot 36.5]
