When on the 4th Sunday in Advent in 1785 Peder Jordhøy was appointed pastor by the provost, he appointed Frederik and his son Anders Johan Wiborg as joint sextons in Lesja (with Anders to serve as successor). Fredrik was often asked to serve as a guardian for minors, representing their interests at probates.<ref name=B/> | When on the 4th Sunday in Advent in 1785 Peder Jordhøy was appointed pastor by the provost, he appointed Frederik and his son Anders Johan Wiborg as joint sextons in Lesja (with Anders to serve as successor).

Ivar Kleiven, in his book "Lesja & Dovre" criticized the Wiborg family as promoting law suits and community disputes.(Berg) Kleiven also indicates that Fredrik’s son, Anders, who become sexton after Fredric had a fondness for alcohol which did not sit well with the new Priest Pedar Alstrup Jordhøy.<ref name=W>Wiborg, Geir Steinar: WIBORG.

Kleiven based some of his comments on Jakob Olsen Sønstebø’s diary, which he quotes as including several stories critical of one of the Wiborg sextons (probably focused on Fredrik’s son, Andrew). One quote goes, “When he and the sexton were in Folldal the Priest Pedar Alstrup Jordhøy kept a good pace so the sexton wouldn't have time to find something to drink before they moved on. They always took a rest at Synstbø before they took to the mountains, and at that farm the priest had forbidden the residents to let Wiborg have any strong drink to go. But the fox is not easy to shepherd, as they've said from old, every time those two were well in the sleigh or cariole and about to drive from the farm, the sexton had forgotten something in the house, his pipe, whip or mittens which he just had to go back for. And in the cabinet the bottle stood full so the woman could hurriedly pour a drink for the sexton.”<ref name=Kl>Kleiven, Ivar: Gamal bondekultur i Gudbrandsdalen: Lesja og Dovre. 1923 </ref><Ref name=W/> | |||
In his article, Per Berg observes that people often have something to say about recent arrivals in the community and it usually is not favorable. Berg points out that Frederik Wiborg represented Madam Meyer who held the concession to provide music for wedding and other festivities in Northern Gudbrandsdal, and on her behalf was active in prosecuting musicians who played without paying her fee. However Berg indicates there is no record of other types of cases; and suggests Kleiven must have been referring to Procurator Anders Wiborg, a relative, who brought many such suits in Lom.<ref name=B/> | |||
