- The Hammershus Birketingbog (judicial district court records) provide us with information on the family of Niels Nielsen Skr?dder and his wife Anne Hansdatter.
We find mention of Niels Nielsen Skr?dder of L?seb?k in Allinge on October 1, 1688 when he went before the court regarding a "3 sk?pper bygjord" (3 bushels of barley land) called Lille Lychen, which he had in mortgage of 10 Sdr. after the deceased Jens Lauridsen Hyldebrand. Since no heirs presented themselves to claim the land or redeem the mortgage after Jens Lauridsen Hyldebrand's death on Feb. 11, 1680 a judgement was rendered on the matter on March 11, 1689.
On December 12, 1692 Niels Nielsen Skr?dder of Allinge submitted to the court a mortgage of 40 Sdr. on barley land called "Murer hollestycket" which Jacob Jensen Sode of Olsker had a mortgage on.
Niels Nielsen of L?seb?k affirmed in court on January 30, 1693 that he has sold a house with its out-buildings, courtyard and "Madselycke" (fenced garden) to his son Henrich Nielsen in Allinge and received payment. At the same time he also affirmed that he had sold a piece of land called Aarageren located east of the church land, consisting of "2 T?nde Land havrejord" (2 acres of oat land) with associated irrigation channels, to his son Anders Nielsen in Allinge.
Four unbiased "Dannem?nd" (honourable men) were chosen on November 12, 1694 to oversee the collecting of the city taxes; these were: "Formand" (Chairman) Niels Nielsen Skr?dder and Jens Nielsen of Allinge, and Knud Michelsen and Henrich Nielsen of Sandvig.
On February 20, 1699 Niels Nielsen L?seb?k submitted to the court a contract concluded between himself and his children, signed in L?seb?k on February 18, 1699.
A September 25, 1713 case between Hans Aredsen of Sandvig and Knud Nielsen of L?seb?k informs us that Hans Aredsen's wife, Kirstine Nielsdatter, had inherited some land in L?seb?k from her late mother Anne Hansdatter, widow after Niels Nielsen Skr?dder. The document states that Knud Nielsen is the brother-in-law of Hans Aredsen.
The Nyker parish register baptism record from February 8, 1693 for Hans Nielsen's daughter Kirstine names a Mogens Nielsen of Allinge as being among the witnesses.
Two cases dated November 27, 1702 and September 15, 1704 tell us that Henrich Nielsen is the brother of Mogens Nielsen, both from Allinge. A Peder Hansen was in court on November 26, 1714 to explain the inheritance which he had and which belonged to his stepson Hans Henrichsen. Peder Hansen was married to Sidsele Augustinusdatter, who was the widow of Henrich Nielsen. Henrich Nielsen's son Augustinus Henrichsen inheritance was in the house and his stepfather had offered him 18 silver dollars. Augustinus Henrichsen's father's brother Anders Nielsen was allowed to bring his nephew's case to the next assembly. A May 24, 1717 case tells us that Knud Nielsen of L?seb?k is the "faderbroder" (father's brother = uncle) of Christian Henrichsen.
An August 8, 1729 on the use of land on Captain Niels Nielsen's farm, Bridsensg?rd, 9 Slg. Olsker, has testimony from Niels Nielsen of R?nne, who was 62 years old at the time (born circa 1667) who states that his father was 81 years old when he died 24 years ago (born circa 1624 - died circa 1705), from whom he had never heard anything about out meadow land being added to the 9th Freehold Farm in Olsker parish.
The February 24, 1733 Hammershus Birk probate for Anders Nielsen tells us that "faderbroder" Niels Nielsen of Nylars acted as guardian for Anders Nielsen's 14 year old son Henrich. In the Nylars parish register, we find Kirstine Nielsdatter's son Ared Hansen Hammer and his wife attending the baptisms of two of his uncle Niels Nielsen's children from his second marriage: namely, Magdalene in 1735 and Jacob Hammer in 1738. Ared Hansen Hammer also acted as legal guardian for Niels Nielsen's widow, Giertrud Erichsdatter, during his probate hearing of February 8, 1741.
From the Hammershus Birketingbog 1702-1715:
November 27, 1702, page 17a:
Jens Hansen from Olsker summoned Wefst Pedersen, his sons Jens and Hans Wefstsen to the settlement which was reached. Also shipmaster Henrich Nielsen from Allinge.
Henrich Nielsen was asked if he was not present at the settlement and heard that Wefst Pedersen had promised to pay J?rgen Didrichsen 16 silver dollars for fraud and suffering. Which he confirmed, but would rather make a written statement. The Judicial District judge refused and asked him to explain his participation in the settlement between Jens Hansen and Wefst Pedersen.
Henrich Nielsen said he was with his brother, Mogens Nielsen, when together they were seeking to reconcile the two parties, so that it should not come before the assembly. He then rode to Jens Hansen, who agreed to study whether it could happen soon. Henrich Nielsen rode thereafter to Wefst Pedersen, who was not home, but in R?nne. His wife sent to R?nne and Wefst managed to come home that night at dusk. Wefst Pedersen asked why Jens Hansen had sent his two sons to jail in Hammershus. Wefst Pedersen agreed to ride together with Henrich Nielsen over to Jens Hansen. When they reached the southwest of the farmstead they dismounted and Henrich Nielsen went to Jens Hansen. Jens Hansen came out and chatted with Wefst Pedersen, who did not know whether it was true about his two sons having beaten Jens Hansen's stepson J?rgen Didrichsen, but that he did not want a lengthy process, so he wanted reconciliation. He offered 15 silver dollars. Henrich Nielsen felt that it should be 16 silver dollars payable to J?rgen Didrichsen for "pain and misconduct". They would also agree that if there was a "king's case" (high court) they should agree to that low cost. Henrich Nielsen rode back with Wefst Pedersen and got the 16 silver dollars, which he transported back to Jens Hansen.
Jens Hansen and Henrich Nielsen rode to the Hammershus and spoke with Sub-Lieutenant Kofoed, who immediately let Wefst Pedersen's two sons be released from their custody. After his release, Jens Hansen received the promised 16 silver dollars from Henrich Nielsen. Jens Hansen questioned the agreement that they both had to accept the king's case if that went that far. Both sides requested an assembly testimony transcript.
September 15, 1704, page 58a:
Royal Probate Clerk Henrich Brugmann met in court with the legal guardian for Captain Haagen Michelsen's surviving widow and on her behalf summoned Henrich Nielsen and Mogens Nielsen of Allinge, who owed her for one part rye, which they had bought from her in K?benhavn in the summer for a total 20 silver dollars. The two men promised to pay her each 10 silver dollars, but had only paid 5 and 1 silver dollars since last St. Hans Dag (Midsummer, June 24th). As the widow was poor Henrik Brugmann asked them both to pay the outstanding amount immediately, together with interest. Since neither the Mogens nor Henrich Nielsen were present, their reply was held over to the next assembly.
September 22, 1704, page 58b:
Mogens and Henrich Nielsen was called out, but neither had come to explain the amount due to Haagen Michelsen's widow, therefore a judgment was immediately given in the case.
October 6, 1704, page 59a:
Judgement from previous assembly was registered including: the brothers Henrich and Mogens Nielsen should immediately pay the remaining 14 silver dollars and court costs within 15 days.
October 26, 1705, page 76a:
Shipmaster Henrich Nielsen of Allinge on his own and his co-owners Mogens Nielsen and Niels Hansen's behalf requested a certificate that their boat "Nordstjernen" (The North Star) was stranded in the year 1704 near "Risehofuet ved Tyrpald" in Germany. They had been arrested and only in harvesting could retrieve their boat against the major costs and now was coming to Bornholm. They have had to repair the ship "temmelig" (somewhat) before they could sail again with merchandise. On the 16th of October it crashed with the cargo outside Allinge and the boat was smashed against the rocks. Henrich Nielsen requested that Hans Rasmussen of Allinge, Hans Aredsen and Lorents Petersen of Sandvig, and the eight jury men bear witness for him and his co-owners that the ship was wrecked in Germany in 1704, that the boat had been repaired and again crashed this last October 16, 1705 off Allinge bound for K?benhavn. Most of the cargo was destroyed, but all people were rescued. Thus testified the three men and 8 jury men.
August 2, 1706, page 92b:
Peder Larsen and L?ving Giversen, both from Allinge summoned Shipmaster Henrich Nielsen and co-owners Mogens Nielsen of Allinge and Niels Hansen of Brog?rd for some goods and other things that the skipper had lost on the way to K?benhavn, because of the skipper and boatmen's recklessness. Peder Larsen's goods were estimated at 20 royal dollars and L?ving Giversen's share at 8 silver dollars. The skipper felt that that applicants were required to prove that the goods had been in the boat. The case ended in a settlement, so that Henrich and his brother Mogens Nielsen paid Peder Larsen 3 silver dollars and the court costs, and Niels Hansen paid L?ving Giversen within 14 days.
September 25, 1713, page 325b: Hans Aredsen of Sandvig summoned Knud Nielsen of L?seb?k to 1, 2 or 3 court sessions because he had the audacity to lie about Hans Aredsen's acres of ditches and field boundaries. The acre is called Buggeh?jstykket. The land had come to Hans Aredsen's wife Kirstine Nielsdatter from her late mother Anne Hansdatter (Niels Nielsen Skr?dder). Knud Nielsen is the brother-in-law of Hans Aredsen. The parties reached settlement before the matter could brought before the assembly. Knud Nielsen had no access to the acreage, as it had been granted to his sister Kirstine instead of a part in L?seb?kg?rd.
November 26, 1714, page 367b:
Peder Hansen was in court to explain the inheritance which he had and which belonged to his stepson Hans Henrichsen. Peder Hansen had offered for the 3rd time his stepson money for his inheritance, and his stepson would note accept this, he asked the judicial district bailiff to give a ruling in the case. Peder Hansen was married to Cicele Augustinusdatter, who was the widow of Henrich Nielsen. Henrich Nielsen's son Augustinus Henrichsen inheritance was in the house and his stepfather had offered him 18 silver dollars. Augustinus Henrichsen's father's brother Anders Nielsen was allowed to bring his nephew's case to the next assembly.
From the Hammershus Tingbog 1715-1742:
May 24, 1717, page 61a:
Christian Henrichsen for 19 years had acknowledged having received his patrimoniun from his father's brother Knud Nielsen of L?seb?k after his deceased father Henrich Nielsen. Since Christian Henrichsen for some years had traveled to foreign places and he intended to go away again, he asked the judicial district judge and notary to look after his part in a distillery. This same Christian Henrichsen stood by selling a piece of land for the 14 silver dollars to Peder Mogensen.
August 8, 1729, page 298b:
Henrich Falch produced a rememberance from Governor West regarding the matter, on behalf of Captain Niels Nielsen from Bredsensg?rd No. 9 in Olsker parish against Peder Hansen, who had idicated to the "Rentekammeret" (Interest Board) that the "udmarksjord" (out meadow parcel) taken by the 9th farm in Olsker. . . Niels Nielsen from R?nne, 62 years old, had a father who was 81 years old and who died 24 years ago, from whom he had never heard anything about out meadow land being added to the 9th Freehold Farm.
