1 MISC Frigård, 15 Vdg. Vestermarie, Bornholm
Oluf Kofoed owned the freeman's estate farm of Blykobbegård in Nykerparish, and also Frigård, 15 Vdg. in Vestermarie parish. LouiseSkovgaard wrote "Af Oluf Koefoeds efterslægt" (Of Oluf Koefoed'sDescendants).Blykobbegård is classified as a "friegård", later called a "proprietair"farm, the highest of the three classes of farms: Proprietair (Propr.),Selvejergård (Slg.) and Vornedegård (Vdg.). The surname "Blykop" is connected to this farm.
From Bornholm's Jordebog of 1662:
Sønder Herridt, Pollschier Sogn, Vaarneder: Peder Rasmussen - Olle Koefoeds bunde. (5 Vdg.)
Sønder Herridt, Pollschier Sogn, Vaarneder: Anders Hansen, Olle Koefoedsbunde. (4 Vdg.)
Sønder Herridt, Pollschier Sogn, Vaarneder: Arist Hansen, Olle Koefoedsbunde. (8 Vdg.)
Vester Herridt, Vestermarck Sogn, Vaarneder: Laurids Madsen - Oele Koefods bunde. (15 Vdg.)
Vester Herridt, Nykier Sogen, Vaarneder: Peder Mortensen - Oele Kofoedsbunde. (10 Vdg.)According to Evdard Skovgaard, in "1000 Aner til en Skovgårdsslægt", itis likely that Sidsel died circa 1670. This seems to be based on thefact that the youngest surviving son, Hans Olufsen Kofoed, soldBlykobbegård in January of 1671 to Ernst Canseler.
Kure's farm-listing for Blykobbegård gives Oluf Kofoed's wife's name asSidsel Hansdatter; while the listing for Frigård names her as SidselMadsdatter and gives her death as 1670.
The November 3, 1700 probate for Niels Terchildsen, who was first marriedto Oluf Kofoed's daughter Kirstine Olufsdatter Kofoed (died 1683)mentions an item with the initials: O.K. - S.M.D.; it seems likely thatthis would be for Niels Terchildsen's deceased in-laws: Oluf Kofoed -Sidsel MadsDatter.
From the Åker-Åkirkeby kirkebog:
November 27, 1701: Liig, #4, 27 Nov. Matz Kofod Olssøn gl. 78 aar.The coat of arms of Oluf Kofoed's son Hans Kofoed Olufsen (died 1694), of Blykobbegård in Nyker parish, combines both the chevron (sparre) arms ofthe Rønne-branch of the Kofoed-family with the Bjergegaard-family'spike's jawbone (geddekæft) arms. In his article "Over Hals og hoved"Sigvard Mahler Dam speculates that Hans Kofoed Olufsen's mother may havebeen a member of the Bjergegaard-family; and that in that period thedaughter's of Jørgen Pedersen (died 1588) are the most probablecandidates. Of Jørgen Pedersen's 3 daughters only one is a likelycandidate: Elline Jørgensdatter, who is known to have been married toEsbern Kofoed, of Poulsker parish, in 1608 and 1618. Possibly the sameperson as Esbern Kofoed (mentioned in documents dated 1584 and 1623) ofRønne? Elline received 3 farms from her father's estate: Frigård, 12'Vdg. Poulsker parish; Tuegård i Egeby, 6 Vdg. Åker parish; and Mæbygård,1 Vdg. Nyker parish. Sigvard notes that in Bornholm's Land-Tenancy Bookfor the period 1622-1625 there were 2 farms in Poulsker and 1 in Åkerheld by an Oluf Kofoed. Sigvard speculates that Esbern Kofoed had died1618-1622, and Oluf Kofoed had married his widow, namely EllineJørgensdatter.
