Will someone kindly unravel this section for me so I get it right?

.......
He said at a partition that if he was made the owner
of the part that his father-in-law had in Skibeli, he
would relinguish his claim to ("førepenger",now:"medgift" )
the dowry when marrying Mari, and which he estimated
at 10 rdr. Knud was the brother of Mari. Ulv is one of
("ættefedrane" today: "forfedrene") the forefathers/an-
cestors of the Wattne-family/-lineage/(race) in Mandal.
..........
Han sa ved eit skifte at dersom han fekk svigerfarens part i Skibeli,
skulle
han ikkje krevja førepengar med Mari, som han sette til 10 rdr. Knud var
bror til Mari. Ulv er ein av ættefedrane til Wattneætta i Mandal.
