- RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. Jens Praestgaard reports: "Their farm Vestergaard was a copyhold under Tandrup, a great estate that owned hundreds of farms. In the contract it says: I Niels Willemoes the ownerof Tandrup give Enevold Pedersen the copyhold of the farm at Bedsted named Vestergaard which his father Peder Grontoft had, but no longer is able to run because of age and weakness, and voluntarily has given to his son, who is subjected to the following conditions: 9 articles telling him what he has to do, and what he has to pay, and what he is not allowed to do." He continues: "15 Dec 1826 there was an administration and distribution of Enevold's belongings to his wife Frederikke Pedersdatter and his children: Peder Enevoldsen, 25, pro tempora soldier; Peder Christian Enevoldsen, 21, staying at home; Christen Enevoldsen, 19, staying at home; Laust Enevoldsen, 9; Else Enevoldsdatter, 23, at home; Ane Cathrine Enevoldsdatter, 14; Maren Enevoldsdatter, 12. Jens Pedersen (Frederikke's younger brother) of Sønderhå was guardian for the widow. Curator and guardian for the other children under age was Enevold's sister's son Peder Nielsen Moelgaard of Bedsted. Each item on the farm was listed and valued. Nothing was too small: socks, spoons, etc. Two pages of his belongings. But alas! The liabilities exceeded the assets. There was nothing to distribute but a debt to pay the owner. Frederikke's new husband Svend Jensen obtained an arrangement. But the book does not tell how much he had to pay. The debt was more than 281 Rdl. The price of a cow was 4-5 Rdl. A horse 6 Rdl."
