- According to Kure's G?rdfortegnelser, a Hans Hansen held Store Bakkeg?rd, 18 Slg. Olsker, in 1642. Followed by Niels Hansen in 1662, J?rgen Pedersen in 1667, and Laurs J?rgensen in 1677. Morten Mortensen is said to have owned it in 1684.
According to Louis Skovgaard (see below), Peder Wefstsen's wife Sidsele held residency rights to the farm in 1677. Sidsele's son Morten Hansen is the father of the above mentioned Morten Mortensen (died 1690).
The following translated information is from "Louise Skovgaards egen sl?gt", by Louise Skovgaard, page 28:
Hans Hansen of Store Bakkeg?rd in Olsker, died 1657. Hans Hansen, who in 1645 was named as owner of 18 Slg. in Olsker parish, died in 1657, probate held on February 10, his son Morten Hansen was "jorddrot" (heir to the farm), and his widow Sidsele had "beboelsesret" (residency rights) to the farm. Sidsele was married the same year to Peder Wefstsen - he is named as representing her in the Hammershus judicial district "tingbog" (court records) on October 10, 1657. The married couple lived on the farm for the following 20 years.
Morten Hansen of Store Bakkeg?rd in Olsker, died 1657-58. Morten Hansen and his step-father Peder Wefstsen set about to divide the farm, which at that time was quite a common arrangement. There was contract written, and Morten married got married, but died shortly thereafter. Morten's probate was held on March 12, 1658 - which must have been because of his expected inheritance from his father, through his mother, Sidsele. Morten's only son did not received his recently deceased grandfather's given name of Hans, but was called Morten; one can interpret from this that Morten Hansen had died before the birth of his son.
The following translated information is from "Jens Hansen p? Bjerget i Vestermarie", by Louise Skovgaard, page 3:
Sidsele was first married to Hans Hansen, whom is recorded as holding 18 Slg. Olsker (Store Bakkeg?rd) in 1642. Her second marriage must have been to Peder Wefstsen as in a document dating from 1677 she is referred to as "Sidsele Peder Wefstsens" (Peder Wefstsen's wife Sidsele).
Sidsele's grandson Morten Mortensen was born circa 1657 - the same year as the death of his father Morten Hansen. Morten had inherited domicile rights to 18 Slg. Olsker from his father Morten Hansen, but could not occupy the farm before 1677, as Morten Hansen's mother "Sidsele Peder Wefstsens" had residency rights. On September 19, 1677, 18 Slg. was taxed 209 Slettedaler by a 12 man-jury; its buildings and forest had been greatly depreciated in the previous year's large "contributioner". Morten Hansen's widow Kirstine J?rgensdatter married for a second time to Jens Hansen "p? Bjerget" in Vestermarie parish.
The probate for Morten Hansen had not been completely settled, so on his wife's behalf Jens Hansen turned to the N?rre Herreds Ting (North District Court). Jens asserted that his wife had land-rights and residence-entitlement to 18 Slg., while the now circa 19 year old Morten Mortensen's guardian held to his charge's minority rights. The case is on the first page of the N?rre district's tingbog for 1678-1684, and is partially illegible, but the decision was that Morten Mortensen should take over 18 Slg. Olsker, as soon as he was "d?gtig" (of age); at which time he was to pay his mother the money, which she proved that she had standing in the farm. Mother and son had separately carried half of the depreciation loss since 1658.
Similiarly, in the North District Court we find mention of a case dated September 1, 1682 (page 202b) wherein Jacob Matthiasen (Fisker) of Rutsker presented a mortgage from September 18, 1676 of 120 Sdr. that he had issued to Peder Wefstsen and Wefst Pedersen. The case continued on September 15, 1682 (page 203b) when Wefst Pedersen of Maeg?rd in Olsker in response laid a written claim against Jacob Matthiasen of Rutsker. Jacob Matthiasen believed that Wefst Pedersen must get the authorities to assess the damage to the house. Judgment was rendered on October 20, 1682 (pag. 211b) in the case between Wefst Pedersen of Olsker and Jacob Matthiasen of Rutsker. Wefst Pedersen had accused Jacob Matthiasen for failing to comply with the contract that was created regarding the 13th farm in Rutsker, where Jacob was now living and who had a mortgage of 120 Sdr. from Peder Jensen. Wefst Pedersen and Jacob Matthiasen had shared the mortgage between them, and that Jacob should therefore pay an annual interest rate of 10 Mark annually to Wefst Pedersen. Wefst Pedersen also accused Jacob Matthiasen of illegal logging and peat cutting in the meadow. Jacob Matthiasen was acquitted over the lack of payment of mortgage when he showed that he had paid 50 Sdr. to Herman Bohn, the mayor of R?nne, according to a bond dated September 18, 1676; Jacob Matthiasen had paid the remaining 10 Sdr. to Wefst Pedersen. The judge would not deal with matter of the forest or meadow, but referred it to a special inspection, which would be set up for the purpose.
