| ==Early years==
| | Fredrik Nikolai Wiborg var yngste son av [[Anders Nielsen Wiborg]], som var major i [[Hæren]] og kommandant på [[Christianfjeld festning]] i [[Elverum kommune|Elverum]]. [[Skifte]] etter faren vart halde den 28. januar 1719, og Fredrik Nikolai er lista opp som den yngste av Anders Nielsen Wiborgs femten barn og var fire år gamal. Dette tyder på at han var født omkring 1714. <ref name =M/> Sjøvald nemner at det i kyrkjebøkene for Lesja står i 1804 «Gravla klokkar FNW som døydde 17. sovember og var 96 1/4 år». Dette stemmer ikkje så verst med [[folketeljinga 1801]], der det står at han var 92 år gammal, og såleis født omkring 1709.Uavhengig av skilnaden levde Fredrik Wiborg eit langt liv.<ref name=S>Sjøvald, Aase Bay: Fredrik Wiborg, Christian Brøsløw og fajanseproduksjonen på Lesja; Årsskrift for Lesja historielag: 1999</ref> |
| Fredrik Nicolai Wiborg was the youngest son of Anders Nielsen Wiborg, who was a major in the Norwegian Army and Commandant of the Kristiansfjeld fortress in Elverum. The settlement of his father’s estate was held on 28 January 1719; he is listed as the youngest of Anders Nielsen Wiborg’s 15 children and 4 years of age at the time. This suggests he was born circa 1714.<ref name =M/> Sjøvald indicates that in the church records for Lesja it states that “in 1804 ‘Buried sexton FNW who died 17 November & was 96 ¼ years.’ … irrespective of the discrepancy, Fredrik Wiborg lived to become a very old man.“<ref name=S>Sjøvald, Aase Bay: Fredrik Wiborg, Christian Brøsløw og fajanseproduksjonen på Lesja; Årsskrift for Lesja historielag: 1999</ref> | |

| Anders Nielsen Wiborg died in 1718 and Fredrik was reared by his mother’s brother, minister Johan Cold and by his mother in Romedal (Rømedal) parish. When Fredrik planned to leave the community in 1740, the minister Peter Grüner gave him the following recommendation: "… that he has been for the most part reared by his good maternal uncle, Johan Colds, in his own home and has been thoroughly grounded in the true Christian Doctrine. Since then he has been with his widowed mother in Romedal Sogn. He has been brought up in the fear of God and has led a Christian life. He has shown a good knowledge of those things that are necessary to a man's salvation, especially the Holy Sacraments of which he partook in the head church of Romedal on July 24th…"<ref name=B>Berg, Per: Ei Wiborg-ættegrein på Lesja 1751 – 1900; Hedmark Slektshistorielags Jubileumsskrift, s 119-126, Hamar, Norway 1964</ref> | | I 1801 budda han på garden [[Sili (Lesja)|Sili]], på [[foddog]] i sonen [[Anders Fredriksson Wiborg]] sin husstand.

| From 1740 to 1751 he lived on the Farberg farm in Ringsaker, and served as a teacher<ref name=B/>. There he promised to teach children Martin Luther’s short catechism, both the catechism and the explanations, as was prescribed to his role as a teacher. He recorded that he was “called to be sexton in Læssøe” in the church record at Ringsaker parish on 19 May 1751.<ref name=S/>

| While in Ringsaker he also served as a lawyer/solicitor’s head clerk in Hedmark, gaining substantial experience because solicitor Barojer was ill. In this role Wiborg gained insight in advising and administering justice and in dispute resolution.<ref name=S/>

| When the sexton Ola Kring died in Lesja in 1751, Fredrik Nicolai Wiborg was appointed sexton there and was presented to the congregation on the third Sunday following Trinity.<ref name=B/> In the Lesja Sogn there were three satellite churches - Lesjeverk, Dovre & Folldal. The travel distances were great & it could be very difficult in the winter.<ref name=B/>

| Dovre was an annex to Lesja that was inaugurated in 1740. .Over the choir opening stands Christian VI’s monogram in gold. During restoration of the church in 1954 a secondary painting of the arch was carefully removed together with the original painting, which today is reverently displayed, and the initials FAW were found. These were interpreted as the initials belonging to Fredrik Anderssen Wiborg. But it is certainly unlikely that Wiborg himself painted the arch. A “garnish” that the original had used both gold and silver, and demonstrated an attention to artistic professionalism that a sexton in Lesja scarcely had. But he could very well have taken the initiative to pay for the performance of the work. Around Norwegian churches there are many examples in which the donor of gifts to church embellishments has left his name or initials.<ref name=T>Tallerås, Pål H., Kyrkene i Dovre.

| In 1767 Lesja church purchased new bells, for which members of the congregation bore the cost. The largest has a long inscription which indicates that it was cast at Nestane farm in Lesja parish and Fredrik Nicolai Wiborg is named here as one of those who paid for it.<ref name=B/><ref name=OE>Østerås, Otto: Kirkeklokker i bygdesoga, Lesja historielag.

| Besides performing duties as a sexton, Wiborg was a member of the broader community. Nicolai Christian Lassen’s diary, which was published in 1777, gives insight in its record of a visit with Wiborg at Sili. Lassen indicates that: “In Lossøe parish at the Sili farm the owner, sexton Wiborg has converted a marsh to meadow ground by drainage, where it now grows 6 hayricks of hay. He has built a farm house, under which he set a foundation three yards deep into the earth, and under the walls lay stone drainage passages it drain away the spring water that erodes away the earth. He operated the first stamp mill (for wadmal) in the parish. Several years prior he made an attempt to fire faience ware from a very fine clay, which is found in the vicinity of the main church. Because of the locations great separation from the marketplaces, shipping to the customer was difficult and costly. Besides in the vicinity there is limited wood for burning. Viborg is a witty & skilled farmer who with his children has improved three farms, where he formerly dwelled. He also keeps himself temperate.”<ref name=L>Lassen, Nicolai: Nicolai Christian Lassens Dagbok fra 1777 over en Reise igiennem Guldbrandsdalen; Gudbrandsdalens Historielag 1933 </ref>

| After renting for several years he bought the cotter's place Leiren under Kolstad in 1753 for 130 rd. There was clay on the place & Wiborg built a pottery factory. The pottery works was unprofitable and he gave up the pottery works in a few years. Not least important is Lassen’s observation is that there was limited fire wood. Proper types and ample supplies of fuel are critical to all faience production.<ref name=K>Kielland , Arnfinn: Bygdebok for Lesja. Bd. 3, s. 300 - 303 </ref><ref name=S/>

| Most of the firewood was committed to go to the Lesja ironworks or Folldal copper works. The iron works at Lesjaverk was up the valley, 18 km (11 miles) from Sexton Wiborg’s faience works, and would have had a well-established demand for charcoal to fire the smelters there. Iron smelting is recorded at Lesjaverk as early as 1614. Both the Head Pastor and Sexton Wiborg traveled there on Sundays for services. The Folldal works (Folldal Verk) was founded in 1748, when Folldal’s main copper mine, Gammelgruva, opened, along with the supporting smelters. At that time both Lesjaverk and Folldal were part of Lesja municipality and both the Head Pastor and Sexton Wiborg routinely traveled to those churches on Sundays for services as well – to Folldal a distance of 50 km (30 miles) each way. Due to the proximity, the competition for wood/chacoal to fire the furnaces at both locations would have been significant.<ref name=SS>Stagg, Frank Noel, The Heart of Norway., George Allen & Unwin, Ltd., 1953 </ref>

| Sexton Wiborg registered in 1763 as the representative of the monopoly to provide musicians for the Lesja & Dover areas for playing at weddings, child birth celebrations and other gatherings, where musicians are needed. This right was Marthe Dorthea’s, and the delegation was dated in Christiania on 3 September 1763. Wiborg was to collect an annual fee on behalf of Marthe Meyer from the musicians who played in the Lesja & Dovre region. He exercised that duty, no doubt to earn money as we have no evidence he was a musician.<ref name=S/>
