July 7, 1697: Onsdagen den 7 Julj blef indviet i echteschab Povel S?rensen, og Margrete Clausdatter.
From the Hammershus Birketingbog 1702-1715:
January 21, 1704, page 39a: "Poul S?rensen af Allinge havde st?vnet Kirstine Poul Hartvigs og hendes mand Poul Hartvig angaaende den overlast med st?den og skubben, samt us?mmelige ord fra sit s?de i kirken. Endvidere var indst?vnet Elisabet Jacob Madsens i Kochel?kken og hendes mand Jacob Madsen angaaende blameren og sk?lderi, skamfolks sk?lden og med tuetulleri sk?lden."
The above translated to English:
"Poul S?rensen of Allinge has summoned Kirstine (Hansdatter) and her husband Poul Hartvig regarding the injury from pushing and shoving, and indecent words at his seat in church. Also summoned Elisabeth (Nielsdatter) of Kochel?kken and her husband Jacob Madsen about their disgraceful behaviour and arguing, indecent shouting and deceitful scolding."
The above conflict unfolded in Allinge church during and after the service New Year's Day 1704. The conflict arose in the second row of seats for the women. The correct sequence was, from the aisle: Mogens Clausen's wife Lisabeth Laursdatter, Joen J?rgensen's wife Anne Cathrine, Poul S?rensen's wife Margrethe Clausdatter, and Hans Rasmussen's wife Elisabeth Didrichsdatter.
Poul Hartvig's heavily pregnant wife Kirstine Hansdatter arrived at the church with her little sister after the service had begun. Whether it was because the church was crowded that she and her sister opened the door to the second row pew is not known. But she was certainly not supposed to sit there. The first spot for Lisabeth Laursdatter could not be preempted. Kirstine tried to sit down between the second and third spot. As Margrethe Clausdatter showed no signs that she would make room, Kirstine took Margrethe in the arms and moved her physical aside. There was an uproar. The sister had to climb over the pew back to the third row, where Anne Marie Leopoldisdatter sat. Concerns were expressed "blameren and schillen" (disgracefully), fingers and heads were sent shaking down the rows. Lisabeth Laursdatter sat on a stool so that there would be room for them.
Up on the first row pew for men sat Major Gottfried Ludvig von Brunow, who sought information about the argumentative woman. And he said to Knud Michelsen, that she "drew outrage" in the church with the behavior.
The abusive language did not end with the scene inside the church. Outside Jacob Madsen's wife Elisabeth Nielsdatter shouted "tvetulle" (scoundrel) and that one should show respect to the pregnant. The abusive language was directed at Poul S?rensen's wife Margrethe Clausdatter, who would not give room for the heavily pregnant woman.
None of the women were summoned to court, it was a matter between the men. The case last for two days. Before the Judicial District judge could finish on the second day Poul S?rensen had left the court. Perhaps he sensed that his case was not quite as simple as that. The judge announced that the case be completed when the court met again in about eight days.
However, the case was not reopened January 28th, as the parties had agreed on a settlement. The two defendants agreed to pay 4 Rdlr. to the applicant Poul S?rensen, so that he could pay the court costs.
From the Hammershus Birketingbog 1702-1715:
March 4, 1709, page 196a: "Jens Nielsen af Allinge st?vnede Poul S?rensen af Allinge for manglende lodseddel i skiftet efter hans hustru Johanne Andersdatter. Han udbad sig et regnskab. Mogens Clausen svarede paa sin s?stermand Poul S?rensens vegne, som er tungh?r. Han ville freml?gge kopi af skiftet til n?ste ting."
The above translated to English:
Jens Nielsen of Allinge summoned Poul S?rensen of Allinge ticket for failure to alow payment after the probate for his wife Johanne Andersdatter. He asked for an accounting. Mogens Clausen replied on his sister's husband Poul S?rensen's behalf, who was hard of hearing. He would provide a copy of the probate to the next assembly.

From the Hammershus Tingbog 1715-1742:
April 6, 1723, page 219a: Birkefogeden Mogens Clausen Torn, som er overformynder for umyndige b?rn i birket, spurgte Morten Poulsen og Anders Nielsen i Allinge om deres v?rgemaal for Ludvig Poulsen. Ludvig havde anklaget sine v?rger, for at de havde slaaet ham. Anders Nielsen skulle have taget Ludvigs sengekl?der og brugt dem til sine egne b?rn. Morten Poulsen og Anders Nielsen ?nskede, at blive l?st af v?rgemaalet, hvilket birkedommeren tillod. Henrich Henrichsen Falch overtag v?rgemaalet, mod at renterne skulle bruges i mad og kl?der. [Ludvig var evnesvag.]
The above translated to English:
Judicial District Bailiff Mogens Clausen Torn, who is guardianship overseer for under age children in the district, asked Morten Poulsen and Anders Nielsen Allinge about their guardianship of Ludvig Poulsen. Ludwig had accused his guardians, claiming that they had beaten him. That Anders Nielsen had taken Ludvig's bed clothes and used them for his own children. Morten Poulsen and Anders Nielsen wanted to be releaved of their guardianship, which the district judge allowed. Henrich Henrichsen Falch accepted guardian, agreeing that the income should be used for food and clothing. [Ludvig was mentally retarded.]
October 16, 1724, page 237a: "Morten Poulsen af Allinge beklagede sig over, at hans broder Ludvig Poulsen gik n?gen rundt og fuld af lus. Han mente, at hans v?rge Henrich Falch ikke tog vare paa Ludvig og at en anden v?rge skulle findes. Henrich Falch mente, at Morten Poulsen burde bevise sine paastande. Da Ludvig gik "ad landet fra Henrich Falch var han kl?dt forsvarlig baade med ulde og lindet". Han havde s?rget for f?de til ham og holdt ham renlig. Morten Poulsen mente ikke, at hans broder ikke havde faaet nyt t?j de sidste 2 aars tid. Birkefogeden, som ogsaa var skifteforvalter i birket, var ansvarlig for umyndiges forhold ville forholde Henrich Falch, at holde sit v?rgemaal og s?rge for Ludvigs renlighed og omsorg. Men da Ludvig var "et stakkels monstrum" ville han bede baade v?rgen Henrich Falch og Ludvigs broder Morten, at m?de paa n?ste ting med Ludvig, saaledes at de kunne se om han var fors?mt og hvordan det kunne ordnes i fremtiden."
The above translated to English:
Morten Poulsen of Allinge complained that his brother Ludvig Poulsen went around naked and full of lice. He thought that his guardian Henrich Falch took no care of Ludvig and another guardian should be found. Henrich Falch believed that Morten Poulsen should prove his claims. When Ludvig went "about the country from Henrich Falch's home, he was dressed properly, both in woollens and linnens". He had arranged for food for him and kept him clean. Morten Poulsen did not believe that his brother had had new clothes in the last 2 years. The judicial district bailiff, which was also probate overseer in the district, was responsible for the conditions of guardianship for children would relate to Henrich Falch, that he must fulfill his guardianship and ensure Ludvig's cleanliness and care. But as Ludvig was "an unfortunate monster" he would ask both guardian Henrich Falch and Ludvig's brother Morten to attend the next assembly with Ludvig so that they could see if he was neglected and how this could be arranged in the future.
