Notes

  • The parish records list as witnesses at Casper's baptism his uncle Erich Zacharias Prµtzman of Oddersb²l, Jens Rasmussen, Margrethe Prµtzman, grandmother Karen Svendsdatter Norgard (listed as Madame Casper Prµtzman of Oddersb²l) and uncle Lars Christian from Koldkjargaard. Kasper, as his name was recorded in the confirmations, was confirmed in 1818 when he was 15 years old. Cai Mygind's book, 'Some Families from the Two Counties Hanherred and Hillerslev Herred in Northern Jutland', 1972, pages 45-47, says that Casper was unmarried in the 1834 census. He was living as tenant of Kjerup Parsonage in T²mmerby with a housekeeper, Helene Pedersdatter, and two farmhands. In December 1836, Casper and Helene were married in T²mmerby Church. Twin boys were born in 1838, but by 1840 one of them, Lars Christian, was living in Diernesgaard with his grandmother, Marianne Prµtzmann. In the 1840 census Caspar Josva Larsen, 37, was still a leaseholder (Forpagter) at the Kjerup Parsonage with wife Helene, 27 and son Christian, 2. The parish minister, Frederik Christian von Haven and his wife and child also lived there, along with three maids and two male servants. By the time daughter Marie was baptized in 1842, Casper was no longer tenant of the parsonage, but lived in Rotb²lgaard with some family. He had bought the farm Madsb²l near the sea, but was never able to move out there as he was seriously ill. He spent his last days with his mother at Diernesgaard, and died at age 39.
