According to Bull (1940: 192), Jens had an illegitimate daughter, Maren (b. 1825), with Aase Thoresdtr Hornset. This Maren would eventually become Mina HOGANSON's maternal grandmother.
In 1835 Jens married his second cousin once removed, Maren Semingsdtr Rugsveen Haarset. Maren was baptized 18 Jan 1807.

They had the following children: Brynhild (1830-1831), Haagen (1832-1890), Seming (b. 1833), Maren (1843-1935), Jens (1846-1847), and Brynhild (1850-1909) (Bull 1940: 89).
Jens, Maren, and their family are recorded in the 1865 Norway Census on Hårsetstuen with their son, Haagen (33), daughter Bryhild (16), and Haagen's son Seming (9), my 2x great grandfather.
Ancestry.com records Maren's death and burial as 3 Jan and 14 Jan 1884 respectively. Currently we have no record of Jens' death.
