Hans was born Saturday, 21 Nov 1818, at the farm “Brechen under Sandboe,” the son of Peder Olsen Søndre Vigen of Sødorp in Nord-Fron and Magnild Hansdatter Brechen under Sandboe (ca. 1781-4 to 11 Nov 1829) of Kvam in Nord-Fron, Oppland County, Norway.
Hans was baptized Friday, 25 Dec 1818, at the Kvam Church, with baptismal sponsors Ole Brechen, Amund Resløkken, Fredrik Resløkken, Anne Brechen, and Anne Teige. He was confirmed Sunday, 21 Jul 1833, at the Kvikne Church in Nord-Fron (confirmations are often not at the person’s usual church).
After his mother married Ole Fredriksen Resset under Storrusten, 28 Mar 1823, Hans possibly lived at Resset, as his mother lived there when she died, 11 Nov 1829, when Hans was not quite 11. Hans’s stepfather, Ole Frederiksen, died 10 years later, 12 Oct 1839, but Hans was listed as Brækken when he was confirmed and when he was married, so it is unclear where he lived after his mother’s death. Hans Pedersen’s only known sibling was a half-brother who died before he was born: Hans Olaussen Bræchen (13 Oct 1809 to Jun 1815).
Hans married Marit Olsdatter Aamodsronning, Sunday, 26 Oct 1845, in Fron, the first marriage for both, with witnesses Poul Oden and Ole Aamodt. After their marriage, they lived at Marit’s home farm of Aamodtsrønningen, also called “Rønningen under Aamodt” (61.68388 9.49974), which was then in Nord-Fron, but is now in Sel. Hans and Marit had five children: Marit (b. 21 Mar 1846), Ole (b. 27 Feb 1848), Kari (b. 27 Nov 1851), Ole (b. 26 Jan 1854), and Ingeborg (b. 18 Aug 1864). On the 1865 census, Hans and Marit live at Aamodtsrønningen with their five children.
Hans resided at Aamodtsrønningen when he died, Sunday, 12 Oct 1884, aged not quite 66. His funeral was 28 Oct 1884 at Kvam. His wife later emigrated to America and is buried in the Elmo Cemetery, Otter Tail County, Minnesota, under the name Marit Ronning. (All information except re America, census, and decimal coordinates is from the transcribed Fron church records.)
