  • Notes 
    • My 9th great grandfather Joseph Hindersson Warg, b. 1592, was a farmer in Kaustby and from 1636 to 1652 there were a number of entries in court records about him. When he was 24 in 1636 he was fined for damaging some property at Huntus. The following year, 1637, he had to return to Johan Henriksson a year's harvest that he had taken illegally. And in 1643 he was in court over a dispute with Per Knutsson Kaustinen. In 1647 he owed money to an heir of Knut Henriksson. That same year he and Sigfrid Tast were fined concerning a bank balance due Jakob Haakonsson's widow. Then in 1648 Joseph and Lars Johansson Löija had a fight. In 1651 he had a quarrel with Matts Olofsson Kortjärvi over some property.

      He got into trouble again in 1652 when he became angry with Matts Granö of Terjärv whose tar pit was too close to his land. Joseph attacked Granö and gave him four bleeding wounds, gave Granö's son Hans three bruises, and his son-in-law, daughter and a servant girl one bruise each. Joseph had to pay considerable fines and reparations. Then at the next court session, Hans Granö complained that Joseph had driven him from his tar pit, burned the wood and kept the tar. The court ordered Joseph to pay fines, but at the same time the lay jurists were ordered to decide on a boundary between the properties. (Extracting tar from split pine wood and slowly burning it in pits was a major cottage industry in the days of wooden sailing ships. Tar was used to waterproof the ships, ropes, etc.) By the time he was 60 he seems to have settled down and there were no more disputes for a while. But in 1673 Joseph was fined by the court concerning the suspension bridge over the Vetil River. He was responsible for maintenance of the bridge which probably was near his home.
