- Valborg Hansdatter was first married at 24, on February 26, 1738, to Lars Michelsen of Krogeg?rd, ?sterlars. He was to die young - at 30 years old, after less than five years of marriage. Valborg was married a second time, a year later, to Mads Andersen on January 24, 1744. Three years after that, on January 30, 1747, they received the title to Krogeg?rd from constable Hans Michelsen of R?nne, who was a brother to Walborg's deceased first husband. The couple had already been living on the farm at the time and had two children, a son and a daughter - they would have four more, as seen from the census taken June 12, 1787.
(Note: searched the Knudsker parish register for February 26, 1738 marriage record of Lars Michelsen and Valborg Hansdatter but could not find it. Possibly they were married in ?sterlars?)
Vilhelm Svendsen provides the following information in "?sterlarsker Sl?gter":
From the notes in the Inheritance-Protocol at the death, on February 9, 1714, of Michel Hansen you surmise - even if it was not directly mentioned - that Michel Hansen was also the owner of Krogeg?rd.
He left behind his widow Elisabeth Ludvigsdatter, three sons and one daughter. The inheritance proceedings granted the right of ownership of the farm to the youngest son Lauritz (Lars) Michelsen - then only eight months old. The evaluation was done by an eight-man jury, however no figure was noted in the protocol; but it is mentioned that a Jacob Pedersen was present on the behalf of his wife Elisabeth Ludvigsdatter, so it is evident that she recently had married Jacob Pedersen. He would then take over the management of Krogeg?rd - this is confirmed by the entry of his name in the Land-Registry of 1719 - furthermore, you can surmise that Jacob Pedersen had a contract to manage Krogeg?rd for a good many years (granted by the guardian of his step-son, a Lauritz S?rensen Myre from Gudhjem), because when he bought Myreg?rd in Olsker parish, in the mid-1720s, "he mortgaged Krogeg?rd away for the following 10 years to the honest and respected man Michel Olsen Juhl from Aaker." This can be found noted in the Mortgage-Protocol of Bornholm's South and East parishes for the year 1726.
That interesting document states that Jacob Pedersen "mortgaged away" the farm to Michel Olsen Juhl from Mid-Lent 1727 to Mid-Lent 1737 for "200 Slettedaler", which money was paid him "readily and exactly altogether in good danish ringing coins." Furthermore, there are several clauses in the contract regarding various tracts of land which Michel Juhl could not cultivate: "namely the land, north and east of Karselyche plus a piece of grazing-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 Kolte Sortt."
Michel Olsen Juhl's wife, Berithe Larsdatter, died the following year, in 1728, and the notes in the probate records correspond with the above contract. At the end of the contracting out period in Mid-Lent 1737, Lars Michelsen took back ownership of Krogeg?rd, he was now a young man of 23 years and was married the following year to Valborg Hansdatter in Knuds Church on February 26, 1738. Lars Michelsen only lived a few years at Krogeg?rd, as he died already in 1743, buried on October 9. Since no children were born in their marriage, Lars Michelsen's brother Constable Hans Michelsen of R?nne, inherited Krogeg?rd - this was probably decided by an eight-man jury.
Valborg Hansdatter seems to have been allowed to stay on at the farm, and on January 24, 1744 she was married again, to Mads Andersen, a son of Anders Ipsen from the neighbouring farm Damaskeg?rd. Three years later, on January 30, 1747, Constable Hans Michelsen gave over the ownership of Krogeg?rd jointly to the couple. The purchase price was set at 162 Slettedaler and 2 Mark; of which Mads Andersen paid 60 Sldr. in cash and the remaining 100 Sldr. was made up from a loan that Mads Andersen's father Anders Ipsen had given in earlier times to Krogeg?rd's owner.

Regarding the productivity of Krogeg?rd, it is noted in the Land-Protocol of 1779: "According to document No. 1678, the farm had 12 t?nder Land of Rye and Barley, 20 t?nder Land of Oats, the meadow named 'Kattesti?rt' yielding 5 loads of hay, from the Damaske-meadow 1 load of hay, and another 10 loads from elsewhere - making a total of 16 loads of hay."
Mads Andersen owned Krogeg?rd for 40 years, until his death in 1787, when the youngest son Hans Madsen took over ownership. The heirs, all six children, agreed that their brother was to take over the farm, worth 162 Sldr. 2 Mk. and it's belongings, provided that he pay 200 Sldr. to the children of their deceased sister, plus 200 Sldr. to an unmarried sister. This money was to be left standing gathering 4% interest, together with the unmarried sister's inheritance from her mother.
