Notater - In 1682 Jens Kofoed Pedersen had an epitaph made and placed in ?stermarie Church. The painted image depicts him along side his two wives and 24 children: 12 sons and 12 daughters. There are three arms: Jens Kofoed Pedersen's own with a chevron on a vertically divided field (en sparre); his first wife Margrethe Sandersdatter Lesler's with a green tree on a red field (gr?nt tr? i r?dt); and his second wife Elisabeth Akeleje's with a columbine on a vertically divided white and red field (akeleje i hvidt og r?dt). At the bottom is written the following:
(In the original Danish)
"Ao. 1653 den 3 Nov. er Hans Kongl. Mayests. velbestalter Capitaine, vel?dle og mandhafte Jens Koefoed Peders?n, kommen i ?gteskab med ?rlig, dydig og Gud elskende M?e, Margrethe Sandersdatter, og levede de tilsammen i 27 Aar, og avlede 21 B?rn.

Capit. anden Gang kommen i ?gteskab med ?rlig og velbyrdige Jomfrue Elisabeth Ackeleye, og har Gud deres ?gteskab med trende B?rn velsignet."
(Translated to English)
"Anno 1653 the 3rd of November did His Royal Majesty's commissioned Captain, the honourable and manly Jens Koefoed Peders?n, enter into Marriage with the honest, virtuous and pious Maiden, Margrethe Sandersdatter, and they lived together for 27 Years, and begat 21 Children. In the Year of Our Lord 1678 on the 28th of July she went with the Lord, her Age was 43 Years, 10 Weeks and 1 Day. In the Year of Our Lord 1680 on the 19th of June did come the very noble Mr. Captain's second Occasion of Marriage with the honest and born-of-good-lineage Miss Elisabeth Ackeleye, and God blessed their Marriage with three Children."

Note: The above probate describes Jens Kofoed Pedersen as "Edele, og Mandhafte" (Noble, and Manly), and his widow Elisabeth as "Edele og Velbyrdig" (Noble and Well-Born).
Some details on the estate of Jens Kofoed, as described in J?rn Klindt's book "P? spor af de f?rste Kofod'er", published in 1979:
The household items: a large silver vessel worth 21 Slettedaler - this great jug could hold around three-quarters of a litre, and weighed half a kilogram; it was Jens Kofoed's personal drinking vessel and it was said that he could empty it in one swallow at festive occasions! There were other jugs and goblets mentioned, as well as 15 silver-spoons (forks were not yet in use). Also 10 dozen silver-buttons, worth 123 Slettedaler (it was the practice of that time to melt old buttons down and recast them in new styles - a sorry loss, but thus it happened).
Jens Kofoed's clothes were quite ordinary: his best was a grey long coat with black lining, valued at 10 Silverdalers. More dramatic was an old green coat lined with fox-fur, valued at 5 Slettedaler. Grey woolen pants, lined with linen, valued at 6 Slettedaler; a pair of leather underpants worth 1 Mark and 8 Skilling; and a black cap; these last few items were probably used on long riding trips, both military service and personal.
Last was a black outfit, a hat, a pair of stockings, and a black veil, worth a total of 6 Silverdalers. This was was given to his youngest surviving son, the 19 year old Mads Jensen Kofoed - then a Lieutenant stationed on Christians?.
His widow Elisabeth Akeleye's clothes were also valued: a black woolen coat, 2 dresses, a green bodice with 11 pairs of silver tips, 3 skirts, a silk bonnet, and a red woolen nightgown.
The total value of the estate was set at 1,356 Slettedaler, but a debt of 905 Slettedaler meant that there was only 450 Slettedaler to be divided between Elisabeth and the nine unmarried children. The pastor received the grand sum of 22 Slettedaler, and the church sexton received 11 Slettedaler, for the funeral service held in ?stermarie Church.
Only half of his 24 children were still at the time of his death. The three eldest girls: Margrethe, Sidsel, and Elisabeth, were all in their second marriages; while Anna Sophie and Magdalene had died in their first marriages. The sons were younger and still bachelors: Hans, Sander and J?rgen were in K?benhavn receiving military educations; Ditlev was on his fateful voyage to the East Indies; and the youngest, Mads, was stationed on Christians?. Living at home were: the 21 year old Kirstine, engaged to a young Svaneke lad; the 16 year old twins, Karen and Johanne; plus the only surviving child from his marriage to Elisabeth Akeleye: Margrethe Elisabeth, 10 years old.
According to law, the unmarried daughters were to receive half of that which the sons received. Thus each son inherited 32 Slettedaler, while the daughters got 16 Slettedaler. As there was no ready cash available, it proved hard for the widow Elisabeth Akeleye to pay out. Jens Pedersen Kofoed had never become a rich land-owner - the amount each daughter received just equaled the value of beer drunk at Hammershus fortress in 1658!
Jens Kofoed Pedersen and Elisabeth Akeleye commissioned the installation of an epitath on the south-wall of the old ?stermarie Church. It was moved to the new church after the demolition of the old church in the late 1800s; at that same time a search was made for Jens Kofoed's grave, especially under the place where the epitath had been hanging, but no luck. Later, in the 1920s, some graves were found in the old weapon-house, and it is possible that they are those of Jens Kofoed and his two wives - but no positive identification could be made.
The epitath is a magnificent baroque work of wood-carving, which was originally brightly painted red, blue and gold - just like that of the now gone epitath for his father in the R?nne Church. Jens Kofoed's epitath underwent a restoration in the 1920s, whereby all its colours were removed in order for it to blend in with the church's now drab, neutral interior. Fortunately in our time colours are being re-introduced in church interior design, and possibly there will be fund made available to repair and repaint the terribly neglected epitath - which also should be moved, as the lighting conditions where it now hangs practically prevent closer scrutiny.
