This woman is Kristin Bjarnadottir, who was born 29 July 1863 at Adalbol in Hrafnkelsdalur, Mulasysla.
Her parents were Bjarni Einarsson (1837-??) and Anna Hallsdottir (1824-??).
Anna married Jon Jonsson in 1847. They had at least two children, Rosamunda in 1848 and Maren or Marianna in 1850 but she was a widow when she had the daughter Kristin together with the farmer's hand Bjarni Einarsson. Anna had also children with Sveinn Thorsteinsson (1821-??), the son Thorsteinn, born 1860 and the daughter Stefania, in 1865.
Whether Sveinn Thorsteinsson became Kristin's stepfather or not is not for me to say, but Kristin has obviously taken his name as a surname.
I would like to know more about this woman and her children.
Regards,
Hálfdan
