Reppe
Mark Bogen recognized his immigrant ancestor had actually been a Reppe, and Teresa Reppe Larson was also on the Facebook group page so he asked how they were related. Their great grandparents who were in Hendricks were brother and sister!
Anne Jensdatter Reppe 1855 and Peder Jensen Reppe 1862
were brother and sister!
However, this shows how their descendants relate not by Anne and Peder,
but by their spouses Ellef and Rangnild:
Here is a chart showing Anne and Peder descending from their Reppe line
but note that the husband starting this line was a Fjeset who MARRIED Reppe!
Their Reppe line is well documented in the Singsåsboka Bind II page 14-16.
Those pages follow - it might make more sense to start at the bottom of the following and walk up the line.
In the middle of the page below, it shows Ola Persen Fjeset 1756 marries Berit Persdatter Reppe born 1758.
That is the top box in the tree chart above.
Then their child 2 is shown to be Per born 1793 - that is the second generation
of the chart above. It adds "tok over garden" - translates to took over farm.
Actually, in the chart above, I named him Peder.
The page below then details the family of Per/Peder 1793 and his marriage to
Kari Arnsdater Rognes 1793. Their 8th child is Jens, born 1832.
This page shows Jens marries Ingeborg Persdatter Singsås born 1831 and they emigrate in 1887.
It shows children being born - first is Anne in 1855.
That Anne is Teresa's immigrant ancestor.
The description of the family continues.
first line shows Berit born 1860, but while the father is Jens, the mother
is Kristine Hallvardsdatter Røsbjorgen from Storen!
Next comes Peder born 1862 and it says "oppfostra i Bogen" which translates to
"raised in Bogen". This is why Mark has the Bogen name!
The following is my 'take' on this.
Clearly, these people were 'husmanfolk' - tenant farmers who were permitted what normally is a one room log building on the land of the landowner. They owned nothing - in fact, anything outside the area covered by the roof is the property of the land owner. Some even kept animals inside or in a basement to allow them to own them. We have a family with 8 children in the house and your Jens 1832 is at the BOTTOM of the pecking order. You could say it makes him lower than husmanfolk! Look closely at his siblings - Ola born 1820 marries a Bogen! I would bet the farm that this Ola takes your Peder born 1862 simply to keep him from starving! If there is a hero in your family it most likely is Ola born 1820. Peder was Ola's nephew.
Singsåsboka Bind II p 105 is for farm "Grindbakken GNR 221/3 and describes Kari who married Ola. Translated it says:
In 1881, Emerson John Arns Bogen, b. 1847, d. 1939, lease from Røros Works On 1 / 2 måj land to land (by an old stone Bridal) on Grindbakken. He was the son of Dordi Johansdt. Grytdal and grew up there, but after having served in Bogen, he took that name. His father was Arne Knutsen Breivad from Kvikne. John was part of the railway system from the start and was afterwards "banevoktar". He was married in 1869 to Kari Olsdt. Reppehagen, b. 1842, d. 1926, and lived at home with her family then moved to Repkalvhåggån here. It leased the land and ran Grindbakken as a croft in 1901, when Per Ingebriktsen Talsnes was himself the owner and sold the place of John and Kari for 1000 kroner.
