Mikkel Pedersen Smed

Mikkel Pedersen Smed was born around 1640.
We do not know when he married for the first time, because the parish of Nebsager begin their register in 1689. In the land register from 1688, we read that he was the copyholder of a farm in Nebsager. The farm was described as a partial derelict farm. Its hartkorn was 8 tdr. 6 skpr. 1 fjdkr., and one half of the farm belonged to the manor of Jensgaard, in the Parish of Glud. The other half belonged to Mrs. Oellegaard Gyldenstjerne.
Mikkel Pedersen and his first wife, Cathrine Hansdatter  had the following children, Peder Michelsen Smed (married 1703 to Kirsten Christensdatter), Hans Mikkelsen Smed (born around 1680) and Anders Mikkelsen (1689-1702). There may have been other children.
Cathrine Hansdatter died on April 1689.  On November 20, 1689 Mikkel Pedersen Smed married Birthe Cathrine Pedersdatter. They had been betrothed on September 25.
Mikkel Pedersen Smed died in 1726 and was buried in the churchyard of Nebsager on February 8, 1726. He was three weeks shy of 86 years old.
