Husmo
Husmo is situated on the plain east of Glomma and borders on the north to Hennie, on the east to Folmoe and on the south to Løken. The entire infield to Southern Husmo is clear, some minor hills, grazing land. The Earth is significantly sand mold. In some places there is sand mixed clay, and at 45 goals which is newly cultivated after 1925, the so-called mojord. Most of Northern Husmo is simply, quite right to Hennie and west towards Glomma. Also on Northern Husmo the soil is sand mold with a little clay mold in some places.

[The] name Husmo was in old Norwegian time Husamór. It is likely that the first syllable has the same meaning as in the name Huseby (Husby). It is clear that the farms with the name Huseby (gl.norsk Husabýr) had a special feature of the old administrative system in the Viking era and before. O. Rygh thinks the name "the greatest Sand synlighed explained that a well developed Gaard, there are many, good or prægtige Huse." Magnus Olsen, claimed later that the name "also seems to have a special meaning that aims at political-administrative matters." It is reasonable to assume that the farms which were the seat of the king's bailiffs had "many good and prægtige Huse." The Ombudsman would have to take the king and his entourage when he was at a feast, and the Ombudsman himself may have housing for a smaller military force. We see that Huseby-farms common are strategically beneficial to. It also makes Husmo. It is likely that the farm had the same function as a Huseby farm. Further, we can not get into this here. It belongs to the village's history. The name was written in 1499 Hwsmo, in 1578 Hussmou, in 1666 Huussmoe.

"Husmo," Nes på Romerike: Pål Olsen Skeksrud

From the section on the Husmo farm in the Nes på Romerike bygdebok we can begin to verify the ancestors of Anna Gurina (Huusmoe) JOHNSON.

The relevant paragraphs as translated by Google Translate (with some help) are as follows:

Boel Saksesdtr was married a 2nd time in 1751 to:

SØREN GULBRANDSEN from Northern Strøm (1720-56), user until he died in 1756. Children: Pål, born 1753, Gulbrand (1755-88). Boel was then in 1756 married to:

The shift after Mari was settled in 1785 at 198½ rd. in assets and 170½ rd. in debt. 3 horses, 10 cattle, 12 sheep, 4 goats and 1 pig. Mari had inherited 5 5/6 lsp. in Lower Røtnes. Farms here owned by Mrs. Holter at Hvam. Sakse was married a 2nd time in 1785 to Anne Pålsdtr from Horgen in Fenstad (1755-1788) and a 3rd time in 1789 to Kari Andersdtr from Funni (1765-1837). Children: Anne Maria, born and died 1790, Anders, born and died 1791, Pål, born and died 1793, Pål (see next), Anders, born 1796, Gulbrand (see below).

Councilor Nils Holter deeded in 1784 the farm here for 799 rd. to his mother Anna Holter at Hvam. Assessor Niels Nielson received the deed to 1/12 of the farm from Helle Dorph in 1791 and to 1/3 in 1812 for 500 rd. from Christen Holter and to 1/3 in 1813 from Jacob Tybring and finally the rest from Jon Collett Müller and H. F. Grønvold et al. in 1821 and 1822. Nielson leased the farm to the eldest son of Sakse Pålsen:

PÅL SAKSESEN, born 1794, married in 1827 Mari Hansdtr from Hennie, children born here: Hans Sigvart, born 1821, Caroline Mary, born 1824, Anne Gorine, born 1827, Oleana, born 1830. Pål moved the family to Bjørke, and his brother took over the farm:

Gulbrand SAKSESEN, born 1799, died before 1868, married in 1825 to Kari Gulbrandsdtr from Upper Skøyen (1803-68). Children: Grethe Karoline (see below), Søren (see next), Anne Gurine, born 1831, married in 1861 to tailor Andreas Løvlien from Kongsberg, Gulbrand, born 1834, to America, Berte Andre

Gulbrand Saksesen got the deed to the farm (2/3 of half S. Husmo) from the widow after councilor and magistrate Nielson in 1838 for 1000 spd. Gulbrand was a sound man and received in 1838 a license to put the Glomma by "Hennisund" for 70 spd. years and shore duty. Shortly after the scheme was that Gulbrand should have 500 rd. once and for all. In 1846 he sold half the farm to his son Søren for 800 rd. (Skylddeling 1847, br.nr. 7). The rest Gulbrand sold in 1849 son-in-law Lars Engebretsen (see Husmo Flaen, br.nr. 7). . . .
This confirms Anne Gurine's parents on Gustav's pedigree chart: Gulbrand Saksesen Husmo and Kari Gulbrandsdtr Øvre Skøyen. Gulbrand's parents were Sakse Pålsen Husmo and Kari Andersdtr Funni and Sakse's parents were Pål Olsen Skeksrud and Boel Saksedtr Øvre Skøyen. To go further back we will need to check the Skeksrud farm's history.
