I'm not sure what you're looking for in terms of information or questions, but I'll clean up the grammar a bit:

Ole Jonsen was born February 20, 1784, at Vale. [Is this a farm? If it is a city or area, say "in Vale."]
His father was Jon Olsen and his mother was Marja Bjørnsdtr. Fjelldal.
He was married on September 3, 1807, to Anne Andersdtr. at Holla church.
Their children were Anders, Anne, Andrea and Jon Olsen.
They emigrated to America in May 1844. Ole was 60 years old then, and his wife was 58.
Their son John (25) and their daughter Anne Torine (27) traveled the year before on the ship “Salvator.”
The rest of the family traveled with the ship “Salvator” from Porsgrunn on May 2, 1844. There were 150 passengers aboard the ship.
The captain of the ship was Johan Gasmann. They arrived in New York City on July 5, 1844. They had been at sea for 65 days.
They settled in the township of Sugar Creek in Walworth County, Wisconsin, near of the town of Whitewater (about 100 kilometers northwest from Chicago).
Ole's son, Jon Olsen Wale, was in the American Civil War *** with Elf Point, South Dakota, from 1869. *** [Not sure what this means. The Civil War was from 1861-65. Did he live at Elf Point after the war?]
Ole Jonsen died between 1860 and 1870.

Well, you have gotten more information from prior postings than this especially from Brining's 12-20-05 posting with two links to Vesterheim bios. He died in 1890.

What exactly do you want to know? Are you trying to find descendants?

I've been looking for more information about this Anders Wale. From the information I've got from family sources it matches up with what's been posted here. Any direction/information would be appreciated.

....That census also indicates an Andrew Johnson who might be Ole's son 'Anders' (one of the twins listed below). This Andrew Johnson lived in Richmond township of Walworth County, is listed as 38 yrs old and born in Norway.

Joshua - What do you mean by more information? What exactly is it that you need to find?
The discussion thread here included a great deal of information about his parents, siblings, parish of origin from Telemark, emigration and later place of residence in the US.
If you are just looking for 'how-to' instruction to continue research on the earlier family tree information you might start with this website collection -
