This is likely the oldest member of the Leseth family that emigrated in 1867.. It is Peder Estensen born about 1799. He is listed as number 7 in the list of Emigrants from Trondheim on the Link from above. Here he is with his parents, father Esten Pedersen born abt 1766 and mother Magli Johansdatter. They are living on the farm spelled Lesætha at that time.
From the 1801 Norwegian Census
1801
Many times when you take a Family Tree this far back in time you an find a Family Tree online. In this case there is a Family Tree on Geni.com for your family line going back to about 1580. As usual there is very little in the way of sources so you need to take some care with on how much faith you put into this Tree. However if you get to the point of using the Norwegian books called Bygdebøker to trace the family the Tree is a useful guide for names, dates and places.
Geni Tree
You probably will have noticed that Hans Pedersen Myrah and his family are from the county of Askerhus and that Sofie Estensdatter Leseth and her family are from the county of Sør-Trondelag. So Those two counties are fairly far apart and thus likely they met and married in the US.

Back to the Hans Pedersen Myrah side of your family. The family left Norway in 1869. Here is the record for Peder Hansen Mujøen and his family.

And a different data base. Looks like Hans must have come to America on his own, since he is not listed with the rest of the family.
