      BIOGRAPHY:
      1. Also known as Peder Pedersen Græntoft. There is a farm just west of Vestergard farm in Bedsted with the name Græntoft - Groen translates as Green - which may have some significance. Græntoft farm dates back at least to Knud Svenningsen and his father. He is associated with Vestergard farm as a copyholder to the great estate of Tandrup. Refer to biographical notes of his son Enevold Pedersen Vestergard for transfer details of Vestergard copyhold.

      2. Census for 1787 for Bedsted lists Peder Græntoft 46 farmer, Anna Cathrine (Enevoldsdatter)40 his wife, Johanne Marie (Pedersdatter) 21 Child, Enevold Pedersen 16 Child, Niels Pedersen 2 - child shows up under name of Niels Pedersen in 1787 and 1801 censuses as a child of a legal marriage living with his uncle Peder Pedersen Græntoft. Christening record shows him as son of Knud (Pedersen) Græntoft (Peder's brother) and wife Maren Nielsdatter christened 19 Aug 1785. His mother was approaching age 50 and subsequently died in 1787. Boy evidently went to live with his uncle and aunt thereafter and picked up name of Pedersen. Also listed was Maren Nielsdatter, the wife's daughter, but not Peder's (no clue what this means). Two hired workers also listed: Christen Sorensen, age 26, and Dorthe Marie, age 38.
