Fra Vår felles historie, kapittel 4:

Smør/Benkestok/Kruckow.
(etter Sollied, Stene, Brandt, Bakkevig, Kleppe, Leistad, Velde, Løberg, Angell, Vigerust og Stølen m.fl.).

Historikeren P.A.Munch (Det norske Folks Historie) sier at lendermannen Jon var Smør-ættas første kjente mann. Han hevder at Jon kanskje var sønn av Ragnvald Urka, som fulgte kong Håkon Håkonsson på reisen til Skottland i 1263. Andre har stilt spørsmålstegn til denne påstanden.
Jon var gjaldkjer i Bergen, som den gang var Norges største by.

Gjaldkjer:
Tittel for kongens høyeste embetsmann i byen. Han holdt orden der, arrangerte rettergangen og krevde inn kongens inntekter (Bakkevig).

I 1295 møtte han på Hindsgavl kongsgård i Danmark og medundertegnet våpentilstanden mellom Norge og Danmark.
Året etter stadfestet han, sammen med kong Erik, et forlik mellom erkebiskopen i Nidaros og hans domskapitel.

I 1297 var han med ved flere store saker i Trøndelag, og i 1305 vitnet han om dronning Eufemias medgift.

Jon eide jord blant annet i ytre Sunnfjord. Dette godset ble i 1300 pantsatt i 5 år til Munkeliv kloster, men godset ble aldri innløst.

Ifølge Bakkevig hadde Jon 2 sønner, Ragnvald og Hallvard, og trolig også en tredje, Torgaut. Dette bestrider Geir I.Leistad.

Jon Ragnvaldson Smør (c. 1240 – bef. 1328) was a Norwegian knight and riksråd (cabinet minister). He was also the gjaldker (city recorder) of Bergen.

In 1295 he was present at Hindsgavl castle where he cosigned a truce between Norway and Denmark. The year later he confirmed, together with king Eric II of Norway, a settlement between the archbishop of Nidaros and his Chapter. In 1297 he was present at multiple major cases in Trøndelag, and in 1305 he witnessed about the dowry of princess Euphemia of Rügen. Jon owned land among other places in outer Sunnfjord. He is regarded to likely have had three known sons, Ragnvald, Hallvard and Torgaut.

Jon's ancestry is not known, and he is therefore considered to be the first known member of the Smør family. Historian P. A. Munch did however claim that Jon's father could have been Ragnvald Urka who joined king Haakon IV of Norway on his trip to Scotland in 1263, but no real evidence is known to support this theory.

Jon married Ulvhild. Ulvhild died about 1327 in Bergen, Hordaland, Vestland, Norge. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
