1 MISC Seaman (Sømand)
1 MISC Un-married (Ugift)
Valborg Hansdatter was first married at 24, on February 26, 1738, to LarsMichelsen of Krogegård, Østerlars. He was to die young - at 30 yearsold, after less than five years of marriage. Valborg was married asecond time, a year later, to Mads Andersen on January 24, 1744. Threeyears after that, on January 30, 1747, they received the title toKrogegård from constable Hans Michelsen of Rønne, who was a brother toWalborg's deceased first husband. The couple had already been living onthe farm at the time and had two children, a son and a daughter - theywould have four more, as seen from the census taken June 12, 1787.
(Note: searched the Knudsker parish register for February 26, 1738marriage record of Lars Michelsen and Valborg Hansdatter but could notfind it. Possibly they were married in Østerlars?)
Vilhelm Svendsen provides the following information in "ØsterlarskerSlægter":
From the notes in the Inheritance-Protocol at the death, on February 9,1714, of Michel Hansen you surmise - even if it was not directlymentioned - that Michel Hansen was also the owner of Krogegård.
He left behind his widow Elisabeth Ludvigsdatter, three sons and onedaughter. The inheritance proceedings granted the right of ownership ofthe farm to the youngest son Lauritz (Lars) Michelsen - then only eightmonths old. The evaluation was done by an eight-man jury, however nofigure was noted in the protocol; but it is mentioned that a JacobPedersen was present on the behalf of his wife Elisabeth Ludvigsdatter,so it is evident that she recently had married Jacob Pedersen. He wouldthen take over the management of Krogegård - this is confirmed by theentry of his name in the Land-Registry of 1719 - furthermore, you cansurmise that Jacob Pedersen had a contract to manage Krogegård for a goodmany years (granted by the guardian of his step-son, a Lauritz SørensenMyre from Gudhjem), because when he bought Myregård in Olsker parish, inthe mid-1720s, "he mortgaged Krogegård away for the following 10 years tothe honest and respected man Michel Olsen Juhl from Aaker." This can befound noted in the Mortgage-Protocol of Bornholm's South and Eastparishes for the year 1726.
That interesting document states that Jacob Pedersen "mortgaged away" thefarm to Michel Olsen Juhl from Mid-Lent 1727 to Mid-Lent 1737 for "200Silverdalers," which money was paid him "readily and exactly altogetherin good danish ringing coins." Furthermore, there are several clauses inthe contract regarding various tracts of land which Michel Juhl could notcultivate: "namely the land, north and east of Karselyche plus a piece ofgrazing-land around it, also a bit of ploughed-up land around Damaske,and some grazing-land there, plus a piece of ploughed-up land in KolteSortt."
Michel Olsen Juhl's wife, Berithe Larsdatter, died the following year, in1728, and the notes in the probate records correspond with the abovecontract. At the end of the contracting out period in Mid-Lent 1737,Lars Michelsen took back ownership of Krogegård, he was now a young manof 23 years and was married the following year to Valborg Hansdatter inKnuds Church on February 26, 1738. Lars Michelsen only lived a few yearsat Krogegård, as he died already in 1743, buried on October 9. Since nochildren were born in their marriage, Lars Michelsen's brother ConstableHans Michelsen of Rønne, inherited Krogegård - this was probably decidedby an eight-man jury.
Valborg Hansdatter seems to have been allowed to stay on at the farm, andon January 24, 1744 she was married again, to Mads Andersen, a son ofAnders Ipsen from the neighbouring farm Damaskegård. Three years later,on January 30, 1747, Constable Hans Michelsen gave over the ownership ofKrogegård jointly to the couple. The purchase price was set at 162Silverdalers and 2 Marks; of which Mads Andersen paid 60 Sldr. in cashand the remaining 100 Sldr. was made up from a loan that Mads Andersen'sfather Anders Ipsen had given in earlier times to Krogegård's owner.

Mads Andersen owned Krogegård for 40 years, until his death in 1787, whenthe youngest son Hans Madsen took over ownership. The heirs, all sixchildren, agreed that their brother was to take over the farm, worth 162Sldr. 2 Mk. and it's belongings, provided that he pay 200 Sldr. to thechildren of their deceased sister, plus 200 Sldr. to an unmarriedsister. This money was to be left standing gathering 4% interest,together with the unmarried sister's inheritance from her mother.

1 MISC Reeve (Sandemand) for Sondre district
Hans Kofoed Hansen's first wife Barbara Ernstdatter Canseler was thewidow of Terchild Hansen (1670-1711) of Rosmannegård, 27 Slg. inKnudsker parish. In 1711, the year he died, Terchild Hansen had takenover Holmegård, 18 Slg. in Nyker, where Hans Kofoed Hansen was"opsidder."According to an agreement made with his step-children at the probatehearings after Barbara died in 1718, Hans Kofoed Hansen was allowed toremain at Holmegård until the heir came of age. He had to pay 10Silverdalers yearly as interest on the children's inheritance - "as longas the farm is taxed so sufficiently that is cannot bear to pay higher."If Hans Kofoed Hansen managed to obtain another position he would beallowed to move after legal notice was given. On July 30, 1719 he wasbetrothed to Anne Gissel Frantzdatter Smidt, and they were marriedSeptember 24, 1719 in St. Knud's Church in Knudsker parish. In 1720 hetook over the management of Store Myregård in Åker parish. Probate afterAnne Gissel's death was held on March 13, 1730 - for Store Myregård and8 Vdg. in Egeby, both in Åker parish.
His third wife, Margrethe Pedersdatter, was the widow of the parish clerkJens Nielsen Hvalsøe in Klemensker. Hans Kofoed Hansen seems to havegotten into a dispute with the new churchwarden, Jesper Michelsen Lund,over 8 or 9 barrels of barley that were allegedly owed to MargrethePedersdatter.
Hans Kofoed Hansen served as an Alderman (Rådmand), and later held theposition of Reeve (Sandemand) for South District (Sondre Herred). Hisprobate tells us that he held the office of Appraiser (Vurderingsmand);probate was held November 22, 1743 (B.A.A. no. 59). Store Myregård, Åkerparish, 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.).
