Læge vikarierende Kom. Læge = Doctor, stand in municipality doctor
Huslægd = First some background... The norwegian "legd" system is very old.
It was an arrangement who took care of the eldery or sick people who could not take care of themselves anymore, or did not have any family who could support them.
A "legd" was a collection of farms who in a joint venture took care of these people.
In this way the elderly could be moved from farm to farm within this group, to split the burden.
The "legd" people was the lowest of the low on the social ladder.
So a Huslægd was a person who had been placed on the farm by this system. Probably not related to the other people living there.

Præmier lieuten. = Premier Lieutenant. The second highest rank within the Company (Next to the Captain who was the chief commander)

Bonde gaardbeboer fierdingsmand og opsynsmand ved magasinhuuset = Farmer, "policeofficer" and supervisor at the "magasinhuuset"
Fjerdingsmann = A (sort of) police officer on the countryside. Normally a (major) farmer who had public authority
This "Bøygdemagasinet" / "Magasinhuset" could be a warehouse where they stored corn, grain etc.. It probably should read "Bygdemagasinet" which can be translated into "rural district warehouse", which was warehouses where they stored corn (wheat, barley etc).
