Jón Jónsson, known as Jón "litli", was the son of Jón Þorvarðsson (son of Þorvarður Jónsson and Oddný Bjarnadóttir) and Halldóra Jónsdóttir (daughter of Jón "pamfíll" Jónsson and Ólöf Árnadóttir), according to Ættir Austfirðinga.
Ólöf Bjarnadóttir was probably the daugher of Bjarni Björnsson, farmer at Beinárgerði in 1762, but nothing else is known about her ancestry.
Árni Stefánsson was the son of Stefán Lauritzson Scheving (son of Lauritz Scheving and Anna Björnsdóttir) and Þorbjörg Stefánsdóttir (daughter of Stefán Þorleifssonand Þórunn Jónsdóttir).Those people were all pretty well-off and their ancestry is quite well known.
Sigþrúður was the daughter of Þorkell Björnsson (son of Björn Eiríksson and Guðrún Þorkelsdóttir) and Helga Árnadóttir (daughter of Árni Árnason and Sigþrúður Jónsdóttir), according to Ættir Austfirðinga.
