- Captain Niels Nielsen was the owner of Bridsensg?rd, 9 Slg. Olsker, from 1688 until his death in 1737. Both Niels and his widow Maren J?rgensdatter were buried in Olsker Church; Maren's burial entry states she was buried in the church's "V?benhus" (porch or entry hall).
A dispute over the rights to a gun that the recently deceased Niels Nielsen (c.1623-1700) had owned resulted in a court case brought before the N?rre Herred Ting (Northern District Assembly) between Niels Nielsen's son Niels Nielsen and his recently remarried widow Kirstine Samsingsdatter Buch's husband Jens Wefstsen (c.1674-1759). Beginning on March 24, 1702 Niels Nielsen of Bridsensg?rd, 9 Slg. Olsker, summoned Jens Wefstsen to court because of the claim made on December 23rd by Jens that Niels had improperly aquired the gun, a claim which Niels regarded as being defamatory. At the next session, March 31st, Jens Wefstsen appeared before the court and requested a copy of Niels Nielsen's written submission.
At the following session of April 7th Jens offered to settle the matter, stating that he had not known that the deceased Niels Nielsen had been given the gun to his son Niels. However, Niels Nielsen was not satisfied with the offer. As the notary has not yet issued a transcript, the magistrate postponed the matter and hoped that the parties would be reconciled by the next session.
At the court session of April 21st Wefst Pedersen, representing his son Jens Wefstsen, summoned Niels Nielsen to court, demanding that he bring the gun, which Jens considered he rightfully owned. Kirstine Samsingsdatter testified as to her knowledge concerning the gun. Niels Nielsen accused Wefst Pedersen of having committed offenses. Kirstine's step-father, Sub-Lieutenant Hans J?rgensen Gi?dich of Nyker, testified that he had been involved in the evaluation of the deceased Niels Nielsen's estate, acknowledging that the gun belonged to Niels Nielsen. Kirstine's brother, Samsing Samsingsen Buch, argued that the gun should be brought before the court so that it could be valued.
A week later, at the April 28th session once again Wefst Pedersen of Olsker represented his son Jens at court. A copy of the testimony given at the Northern District court on July 15, 1701 was submitted to the court. Niels Nielsen stated that he thought that the claims made by Wefst Pedersen about the gun were untrue; he asked whether the sentencing could be delayed, so that he could counter Wefst Pedersen's allegations. The magistrate would not put off judgment, as he believed that the matter had gone on long enough.
Several weeks later, on May 19th a judgement was handed down on the case. The district judge felt that Jens Wefsten's accusations were unfair and that he should admit that the gun belonged to Niels Nielsen, he ordered Niels to pay the costs of 4 Slettedaler within 15 days.
On June 2nd the matter came to an end when Jens Wefstsen came in court and apologized for the allegations he had made on December 23rd regarding Niels Nielsen and the gun. He regretted what he had said, stating that he knew nothing but good about Niels Nielsen.
