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.).

Elsebeth Clausdatter Kjøller was married 4 times. First husband was HansSandersen (died 1686), son of Sanders Pedersen Lesler; his probate tells us that they had two sons and two daughters, and that they were residing at Ved Kirken, 11 Vdg. Østermarie.Second husband was Niels Mogensen (died 1690) resident of Lindholmgård,20 Slg. Østermarie, between 1686 and 1690; they had two daughters. Aman named Hans Isach Pedersen (c.1606-1691) is known to have beenresident at "ved Kirken" in 1688, it is likely that Niels Mogensen leasedthe farm to Hans Isach Pedersen after his marriage to Elsebeth.
Her third marriage was to Rasmus Olsen (died 1696), the probate forRasmus tells us that he was a resident of 11 Vdg. Østermarie, so thecouple must have retaken possession of the farm sometime after the deathof Niels Mogensen, certainly after the death of Hans Isach Pedersen in1691. Her last marriage was to Mogens Hansen, who survived Elsebeth, hisfate unknown.

1 MISC Lindholmgård, 20 Slg. Østermarie, Bornholm
Mogens Christensen and his first wife Karine Hansdatter are first knownto have held a "user-mortgage" (brugspant) for Kofoedgård, 23 Slg. inØstermarie from circa 1646 to 1655. He was the owner of Gadebygård,proprietairgård in Østermarie, from 1655 to 1681. On July 18, 1681, hesold Gadebygård to Peder Thorsen for 1,200 Silverdalers in cash. Hemoved from there to Lindholmgård, 20 Slg. in Ypnested, Østermarieparish, for which farm he held "brugspant". The probate for MogensChristensen states that he was living with his son Niels Mogensen, whohad taken over the farming of Lindholmgård, at the time of his death.In "Ravns Krønike 1671", page 161, the following information can be found:
"Østermarie: en frigaard, som Mogens Christensen nu besidder og ejer,kaldes Gadebygaard, af en gade, som løber fra Lyngen neder til noglegaarde, hvilke ligger sammen som en by mod Lyngen sydost fra kirken, erskøn tilliggelse til, men ager-jorden er ikke synderlig, meget mislig, oggiver ikke gerne godt korn".(Østermarie: a freehold farm, which Mogens Christensen now possesses andowns, called Gadebygård, thus named from a path running through theheather down to several farms, clustered together like a village againstthe heath south-east of the church, a beautiful location, but the soil isvery poor and yields very poor quality wheat).
From Bornholm's Jordebog of 1658, compiled during the Swedish occupationof the island:
Öster Häradt, Östermarck Sochn, Säthe og Frygårder: En u-fri Mans ogBondesons Mons Christensen, Gadeby Frigård.From Bornholm's Jordebog of 1662:
Øster Haridt, Østermarch Sogn, Bunde, Nr. 23: Mougns Christensen (Udlagttill Karen Hr. Rasmus Hellekrandis i Kiøbenhafn).The above record tells us that although Mogens Christensen held the"frigård" (free-farm) of Gadeby, he did not hold the status of "frimand"(freeman), as the land-book describes his status as an "u-fri Man"(unfree Man) and "Bondeson" (Peasant son).

Burial record of son Niels from the Østermarie kirkebog:

Extracted from the probate for son Didrich Mogensen, May 5, 1704, Svaneke:
Sal. Didrich Mounsen, som havde tilhold hos Margrethe sal. JochumThiesens her udi Svaneke, med hvis broderdatter Birgitte TorkildKjøllersdatter han har haft trolovelse, som nu er død udi Aakier Sogn hossin søster og søstermand Peder Rasmussen i Pæregaard. . . fortsat 14 Maj1704 - arvinger: Halvsøster Karen Mounsdatter gift med Peder Rasmussen iAaker. Fuldbroder Albert Mounsen som er i Lübeck. Halvbroder ZanderMogensen som er død i Knudsker, 2 døttre: Karen Zandersdatter, værge:Peder Rasmussen; Kirsten Zandersdatter, værge Peder Rasmussen. HalvbrorNiels Mogensen som er død i Østermarie, 2 døttre: Grete Nielsdatter,Kirsten Nielsdatter, værge stedfar Mogens Hansen. Halvsøster LisbethMogensdatter gift med Jens Styrmand, soldat paa Christiansøe.Based on the above information it is my theory that Mogens Christensen'sfirst wife, Karine Hansdatter, was the widow of Mads Pedersen Kofoed(c.1600-1646) of Kofoedgård in Østermarie. We know from the probate forMads Pedersen Kofoed that he left behind a widow named KarineHansdatter. Mogens Christensen took over Kofoedgård shortly after MadsKofoed's death. It seems likely to me because he married Mads Kofoed'swidow. Mogens Christensen held Kofoedgård until Mads Kofoed's son HansMadsen Kofoed (1634-1704) took over the family-farm in 1655.
According to Kure's farm-list Mogens took over Gadebygård in Østermariein 1655, was married to Margrethe Nielsdatter by 1658, and that Margrethedied 1680. Further, that on July 18, 1681, Mogens sold Gadebygård toPeder Thorsen. I think that Mogens Christensen and Karine Hansdatter hadtwo children: Sander Mogensen (born before 1655, and died 1686) and"salig Margrete Anders Juhls". Karine Hansdatter probably died circa1655-58, after which Mogens married Margrethe Nielsdatter, who isprobably the daughter of Niels Berildsen, the previous owner ofGadebygård. Mogens and Margrethe had four children: Niels Mogensen(c.1660-1690), Christen Mogensen, Karen Mogensdatter (born circa December1662, and died 1732), and Lisabeth Mogensdatter.
The 1704 probate for Didrich Mogensen states that he had twohalf-brothers and two half-sisters, and only one full-brother - namedAlbert Mogensen. So it would seem that the brothers Didrich and Albertwere the children of a third marriage. Possibly this third wife was a"Didrichsdatter"? - possibly the daughter of Didrich Wolfsen(-1655-1661-) of Svaneke? Kure's farm-list states that MargretheNielsdatter died in 1680, but where does this date come from? Is itcorrect? The age given for Didrich Mogensen in the 1690 probate is "12aar," and thus born circa 1678. Possibly Margrethe Nielsdatter diedbefore 1678? Didrich Mogensen is buried in Åker on May 9, 1704 at theage of 25, thus born circa 1679.

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.
