JIm’s notes in the Ellingboe tree:

About 1834-1835 the farm of Øvre Øldre was divided into two farms: Lnr. 60 B. Halve Øvre-Øldre (7 skin gl., 1 dal. 3 ort new mortage). Ivar was the owner-farmer from 1835 to 1853, after having been a short time at a pensioner's place under 33/3 (Bøkko) Ellingbø and 56/1 S. Leine. He was a mountain climber who is thought to have built the cairn on Skudshødn. He climbed Galnhusvegen from Sandale up the mountain.

Øystein farmed Nigarden, N. Bø, from ca. 1810-1830, then sold farm to eldest son Aslak 2 Nov 1830 for 400 spd. and pension, moved to Bøkkadn (N. Ellingbø), to which his wife had rights. He farmed Bøkko from 1830-1840 with the help of his son Jon, who was the owner from 1830 (age 15) and who took over farming in 1840, giving them a pension that consisted of 2 barrels of barley, 2 cows, 1 heifer, 4 goats and sheep, the southern most storehouse, the use of a 1 mål parcel of land on North Klokkarhaug, lower part, with right to cultivate 1 mål of it, and the pasture land Neståkerreina. Jon's whole family emigrated in the spring of 1850. Trond Ø. Bø Ellingbø emigrated to Minnesota in 1853. Trond Ivarsson Uvdal took over Bøkko 1850, but emigrated to America in the spring of 1862. Øystein and his wife moved back to N. Bø in ca. 1865. The farm was divided into three subfarms, two under Bagetun and one under Nordigarden Ellingbø. In 1867 and 1868 (when Trond Øysteinsson returned to Vang) the farm was divided into four parts (See Vang A, p. 582), the main part being Bøkko (#33/3). Trond Ivarsson sold Bøkko to Knut Ivarsson Eltun for 500 spd. on 25 April 1868. It is said that it was Embrik and Helge Ellingbø who bought Bøkko from Trond and sold a half part to Knut, and that Jon Endresson and Torstein (son of Helge) took over each of the remaining half parts.
