I found a Bråtenvegen street in Eidsvoll.
Is this indicative that this where the Braaten farm was located?

Yes, likely.
At the very west end of Bråtenvegen there is an old farm named Vestbråtan.
Vestbråtan means "Braaten West", indicating that there was also like a "Braaten East" farm nearby.
The street address for Vestbråtan is not Bråtenvegen but Tyttebærkroken 29. The Lingonberry curve #29...
Braaten is quite a common farm name in Norway, so there could be more farms with the same name in Eidsvoll.
