Lars Ødbergsen [22898]

  Notater:

From the Rønne kirkebog: October 3, 1761: Sep. Johanne Lars Ødbers (Henved?), 60. Lars Ødbersen lived for some time in Nyker.
According to Elsa Lau in "Slægten Low-Lov-Lou II", his two sons were born in Rønne, however I was unable to find a christening record for them in the Rønne kirkebog. We know that Lars was living at Bølstedgård, 39' Slg. in Klemensker, in 1728, 1732, and 1735, so it is probable that his children were born in Klemensker, or perhaps in Nyker
In the December 11, 1758, probate for son-in-law Jeppe Olsen he is said to have been living in Vestermarie. Lars Ødbersen took out a citizenship license (borgerskab) in Rønne, at the late age of 75 years, on August 29, 1761; his occupation given as a day labourer (daglønner). The father of Hans Poulsen Lov's wife Elisabeth Larsdatter was mistakenly attributed by Louise Skovgaard as being Lars Ødbersen Gram of Store Grammegård, 22' Slg. in Åker. An understandable mistake, considering the unusual name and the fact that both were born in 1688. However, Lars Ødbersen Gram died in 1756, whereas we can see from the 1761 probate for Johanne Pedersdatter, that the father of Elisabeth Larsdatter was alive and living in Rønne. Lars Ødbersen had an unfortunate son-in-law in Hans Poulsen Lov, who was mentioned several times in the Åker Kirkebog for his "forargelig Levned og bestandige Fylderier" (scandalous way of life and constant drunkenness). To support this lifestyle Hans Poulsen Lov frequently needed to borrow money. The following is an excerpt from the "Tingbogen" no. 2, page 355: (In the original danish) Kiender Jeg underskrefne Hans Poulsen Low, boende paa den 34' Selfejer gaard i Aaker Sogn, at Jeg med min kiære Hustru Elisabeth Larsdatters Minde og Samtykke bort Panter og Pantsætter hendes undentag, som er bestaaende i den 44' Selfejer gaard i Aaker Sogn, Hollegaarden kaldet, som gaardens beboer Hans Madsen før er accorderet om med gaardens Kiøb og Handling, hvilken Jeg alt sammen i Pant sætter til min kiære Sviger Fader, Lars Ødbersen, boende i Rønne, og for Capital 300 Sl. - siger Tre Hundrede Slettedaler, for hvilken Capital min kiære Sviger Fader nyder samme unden Tag hos bemeldte Hans Madsen, som han aarligen skal betale in Natura til min Sviger Fader Lars Ødbersen i Rønne, som Contracten om formelder, indtil Jeg faar min kiære Sviger Fader afbetalt denne ombemeldte Summa, som han mig laant og med forstragt haver, og denne Obligation skal Jeg næste Tingdag om forlanges vedstaae og gestandig være, naar og hvor det forlanges, og til vitterlighed vil Jeg have vanlig 2de Mænd med mig til vitterlighed at underskrive ville. Aaker Sogn i Torrnegaarden, d. 7. January 1761. Hans Lou, Peder Olsen, Jørgen I.L.S. Larsen (Translated to english) I, the undersigned Hans Poulsen Low, living at 34' self-owned farm in Åker, with the consent of my dear wife Elisabeth Larsdatter, hereby mortgage her room-and-board rights at the 44' self-owned farm in Åker, known as Hollegård; the farms resident Hans Madsen has been informed of this transaction with my dear father-in-law Lars Ødbersen, resident in Rønne, to the effect that for the sum of 300 Slettedalers worth in farm-produce shall be received by my father-in- law from the previous mentioned Hans Madsen, until such time as I have paid back said loan to my father-in-law Lars Ødbersen of Rønne; at the next court-hearing I shall pledge my obligation before two witnesses. Åker, Tornegård, January 7, 1761. Signatures of: Hans Lou, Peder Olsen, Jørgen J.L.S. Larsen The matter was duly discussed at the next court-hearing on January 27, 1761, and entered into the protocol book, pages 505 and 506, and signed by court officials W. Hansen and J. Madvig. In the above transaction Hans Poulsen Lov mortgaged his wife's "undentag", which she had received in guarantee as part of an agreement in the sale of her deceased first husband Jeppe Olsen's farm Hullegård. To include an agreement of "undentag" - literally meaning "under-roof" - was a common means to ensure a secure old-age retirement with room-and- board. Again at a later date we find note of another legal transaction on page 362: (In the original danish) Kiender Jeg Underskrefne Hans Poulsen Lov boende paa den 34' Selfejergaard i Aaker Sogn at have laant i rede Penge 200 Slettedaler - siger To Hundrede Slettedaler af min Svoger Peder Larsen, værende hos sin Fader Lars Ødbersen i Rønne, paa alt mit tilhörende Løsøregods, i hvad klasse det nævnes kand, der icke er saalt paa Auction, hvor af en del huustimmer (tømmer), ungefähr til 8te Stolperum Fag i Bindingsværks hus. . . . (Translated to english) I, the undersigned Hans Poulsen Lov, residing at the 34' self-owned farm in Åker, have borrowed 200 Slettedalers in cash from my brother-in-law Peder Larsen, residing with his father Lars dbersen in Rønne, providing as security lumber enough for half-timbering an 8 window-facade house. . . .
