I'm looking for information regarding Jens Bull who was the "Provost" (Soknepresti) Prefect of Lÿe Parish of Jaederen. He was baptized Feb 17, 1718 in Tonsberg, where his father was a merchant. His father Jacob Bull, had come from Denmark. His mother Marte Ørbech was norwegian, and a allegedly descendant of Halfdan Svarte. He went to school at Helsingør, Denmark, Became student 1736, and bachelor of Divinity from Copenhagen University 1739. Specifically I am looking for confirmation of his life, lineage and descendants. I am related via Akseliane Kristine Bull, mother of Akseliane Kristine Olsdatter Njå who married Hans Håvertsen Westlÿe (also spelled Vestly). Any information would be of interest.
