Han fekk utover i 1790-åra ein god del strid med svograne sine, Per Bole og Tov Brynjulfsrud, om arveoppgjeret etter foreldra og etter broren Hellek. Det var strie karar alle, og der har sikkert gått varmt for seg med tretting, stemningar og motstemning. Dessutan er det tydeleg at Gunnulf ikkje har hatt lett for å halde gjelda unna. Han heldt oppe kontakt med skyldfolka i Telemark. For å få ein viss orden på økonomien sin pantsette had såleis garden til eit par i Sauargrenda for 350 rdl.

Vi ser at han tok del i spørsmål som galdt fellesskapet i bygda, t.d. salet av dei kyrkjelege eigedomane, Kjørkjoden og Prestgarden.

Det var også i denne tilda Hans Nilsen Hauge dreiv si verksemd i dalen og hadde møte m.a. på Vindegg. Lensmannen og viselensmannen møtte opp ved ei samling der etter ordre frå futen for å varsle Hauge om at han ikkje kunne vera lenger i soknet.

Men Gunnulf blei ingen gammal mann. Han døydde i 1807 of let etter seg fire mindreårige barn. Ved skiftet etter han blei Vindegg taksera for 600 rdl.

[He got out in the 1790s a good deal of conflict with their svograne, Per Bøle and Tov Brynjulfsrud, settlement of inheritance after his parents and his brother Hellek. It was sacking all men, and there has certainly been hot for himself with tretting (disputes?), moods (emotions?) and motstemning (conflict?). Moreover, it is obvious that Gunnulf has not been easy to keep debt away. He kept up contact with the guilty people in Telemark. To a certain order on the economy's pledge had sat thus for a farm couple in the village for 350 Sauar rdl.

We see that he took part in the question that came to special community in the village, eg the sale of church properties, Kjørkjoden and Vicarage.

It was also during this shaped Hans Nilsen Hauge ran its operations in the valley and met Mon on Vindegg. The sheriff and view the sheriff showed up at a gathering where the orders of the sheriff to notify Hauge that he could not be anymore in the parish.

But Gunnulf was no old man. He died in 1807 with four minor children. At the break after he was assessed for 600 Vindegg rdl.

• Notes: possible descendants, 1839. An Immigrant Shipload of 1840
Anne O. Windag (44) came from Numedal. Her brother, Gunnel Olsen Vindeg, who came to America in 1839, is well known in Norwegian immigrant history as a writer of boastful, but influential America letters. {39} Another brother, Helleik, gained fame, or rather notoriety, along another line of endeavor. Together with two companions he decided to try a quick and easy way to riches. "During the winter of 1841 these three unmarried men, all from Numedal, spent their time partly at Koshkonong and partly in Whitewater, making Norwegian money. . . . They wore the money as soles in their boots in order to make the bills look old and worn." {40} In the spring of 1842 or 1843 they returned to Norway to cash in on their cunning but landed in prison for long terms instead. Anna Vindeg married the Vossing, Nils Larson Bolstad, in 1841; he was one of the pioneers in the famous Koshkonong settlement. They settled in the town of Deerfield, Dane County, Wisconsin, where they remained until Bolstad died in 1865. Shortly afterwards Anna Vindeg Bolstad sold the farm and moved to North Dakota, where she died in 1912. She had three daughters and three sons, one of whom joined the Fifteenth Wisconsin Regiment and died in battle, June 28, 1864. {41}
