Knut LARSEN (FOSS)
His 1st marriage was to Karen Olsdatter, I think, although on 1801 Census Karen Olsdatter is shown as a servant - B-1785 Unmarried. Perhaps Knud's 1st wife (her name ?) died and he married Karen Olsdatter? On this same fisch the name ob Boel Knudsdatter born 1706 was listed - not sure how she fits.
Knut owned the farm Foss.
