1 MISC Sigård, 67 Slg. Klemensker, Bornholm
Hans Hansen Piil arried to Anne Marie Larsdatter from Siegård, it was hersecond marriage; there were no children from their marriage. The 20 yearold "opsidder" (farm manager) Hans Piil was more enterprising than wasgood for him -- his guardian judged him irresponsible. It was in histime that so much of Siegård's forest was cut down. Because of this hewas ordered to pay compensation to neighboring farms no. 8' and 10'. Theamount in question was 60 Silverdalers, and had been set as the result ofa compromise deal made with the local authorities.He was married on February 10, 1756 in Ibsker to Else Margrethe Kofoed(1734-1812). Hans Piil evidently must have matured with age, as he laterheld the position of Reeve (Sandemand) for East District (Østre Herred).
"Opsidder" is a very old Danish word which was used to describe a man whomarries a widow who has a child that is heir to the farm (on Bornholmthis was always the youngest son, and if no sons then the oldestdaughter). When the heir reaches the age of maturity, his mother and hernew husband would hand over the farm to the heir; after which they wouldeither retire or find another farm for themselves.
