Warren Martin

My Name is Warren Martin.  I live in Minot, North Dakota, USA.  I am looking for some additional help with finding information on Hans Mortensen, born on Jan 30th 1826 in Hostrup.  I believe Hans is my GGGrandfather.  His fathers name was Morten Hansen, born about 1798, mothers name Johanne Jepsdatter, born about 1799 and all were living in Sielborg at the time of Hans birth.

Morten Hansen died March 31st 1831 in Hjerting.  We believe that Mortens fathers name was Hans Mortensen and also lived in the Sielborg area.  He may have had another son by the name of Hans Hansen born about 1801.  Maybe the Hostrup church records would verify this and provide for additional family records.  My goal would be to find any descendants of this family that are still living in the Denmark area.  If any descendants can be located, I am planning on being in Denmark at the end of June and would like to visit with them if they are willing.

Thank You

Warren Martin

Hi Martin and Lynn,

The Hans Mortensen born in Føvling is not the Hans we are looking for.  I found his birth in Føvling.

Hi,

I'll link to the previous thread, so we don't need to look for the same data again:

Hi Warren

I tried to follow the different leads to see if I could locate some family, where we could try to find the descendant up to present time.

Here is what I checked and found:

Start: Hans Mortensen, JAN 30 1826, Hostrup, Skast, Ribe – emigated to US approx. 1856

Hans Mortensen's brother:
Jens Mortensen * 09 AUG 1828
Wife: Ane Margrethe Andreas Poulsen *30 JUN 1825
(Parents: Gaardmand og sømand Andreas Poulsen Andreasen i Koldbye og Ane nee Lorentzen of Søer, Riis Sogn)

Married: 06 JUN 1856 in Hjerpsted, Højer, Tønder (1843-1923 Hjerpsted, Højer, Tønder ops 73)

Children of Jens Mortensen:
Andreas Poulsen Mortensen *19 APR 1858 (1763-1933 Hjerpsted, Højer, Tønder ops 139)
Johanne Kirstine Mortensen *18 SEP 1861 (1763-1933 Hjerpsted, Højer, Tønder ops 148)

After 1861 I can't find them in the churchrecord for neither Hjersted or the neighbor parish of Emmerlev.
They might have left due to the 1864 war - and you stated that at least the children did go to US.


Hans Mortensen's Parents:
Morten Hansen, *1798 Hostrup, Skast, Ribe †MAR 31 1831 Hjerting
Johanne Jepsdatter *13 JAN 1799 Janderup, Vester Horne, Ribe. †1875 Aal, Vester Horne, Ribe
Married: OCT 20 1825 i Hostrup, Skast, Ribe

His father Morten Hansen's parents:
Hans Mortensen. *1774 †DEC 25 1828 Hostrup, Skast, Ribe
Kirsten Hansdatter *1765
Married: 31 OCT 1795 (1721-1802 Hostrup, Skast, Ribe Opslag 104)

His father Morten Hansen's Siblings:
Karen Hansdatter *27 MAY 1797 (1721-1802 Hostrup, Skast, Ribe Opslag 64)
Hans Hansen *20 MAY 1801 (1721-1802 Hostrup, Skast, Ribe Opslag 71) – dies as child (?)

I can not find Morten's brother Hans Hansen anywhere - they is a number of death entries that could be him. But I'm not sure.

His father Morten Hansen's sister:
Karens Hansdatter marries 4 NOV 1821 to
Knud Sørensen af Søvig Mark, Janderup Sogn *1788

In Census of 1840:
Knud Sørensen    53    Gift       Huusmand og Fisker   
Karen Hansdatter    44    Gift       Hans Kone   
Gjertrud Kirsten Knudsdatter    15    Ugift       Deres Børn   
Søren Knudsen    6    Ugift       Deres Børn   
Maren Catr. Knudsen    1    Ugift       Deres Børn

And Census of 1845:
Ribe, Skast, Hostrup, Sjelborg Bye, et Huus, 58, FT-1845, C0648
Knud Sørensen    57    Gift       Dagleier og Fisker   Outrup Sogn Ribe Amt
Karen Hansdatter    50    Gift       hans Kone   Her i Sognet
Søren Knudsen    11    Ugift       deres Børn   Her i Sognet
Maren Catrine Knudsen    6    Ugift       deres Børn   Her i Sognet
Hanssine Knudsen    2    Ugift       deres Børn   Her i Sognet

Census of 1850
Ribe, Skast, Hostrup, Sjelborg Bye, Frøested, 1 Huus, 65, FT-1850, C1500
Knud Sørensen    61    Gift       Huusmand, Dagleier, Huusfader   Outrup Sogn
Karen Hansdatter    53    Gift       hans Kone   Her i Sognet [ Hostrup]
Maren Cathrine Knudsen    11    -       deres Børn   Do [ her i Sognet - Hostrup]
Hanssine Knudsen    7    -       deres Børn   Do [ her i Sognet - Hostrup]

So At least we know Hans Mortensen left af number of cousins behind

Let's go back to Hans's brother Jens Mortensen:

Children of Jens Mortensen:
Morten Hansen Mortensen *18 DEC 1856 (1763-1933 Hjerpsted, Højer, Tønder ops 67)

Andreas Poulsen Mortensen *19 APR 1858 (1763-1933 Hjerpsted, Højer, Tønder ops 69)
(Andrew Paulson Martin born April 18th, 1858) – Arrival US 1878

Stillborn *20 MAY 1860 †20 MAY 1860 (1763-1933 Hjerpsted, Højer, Tønder ops 74)

Johanne Kirstine Mortensen *18 SEP 1861 (1763-1933 Hjerpsted, Højer, Tønder ops 77/148)
(=Jennie Peterson (Married Name) born Sept 22 1862?) – Arrival US 1877

Niels Lorentzen Mortensen *1 AUG 1864 (1867-1870 Varde, Vester Horne Ribe, Opsl. 38)
(=Nels Martin born August 1st, 1864) – Arrival US 1881

James Soren Martin born August 1st, 1866 – Where? (Ancestery says AUG 1867)
Arrival US 1885

As you can see I found another son. Unfortunately, I can not find the family after the baptism of Niels - although we should be able to find the confirmations of the children.
As Niels is born i Varde, it seems like the family moved North after the war in 1864. However, Varde might just have be a temporary stopover. They might have gone on to another Parish.

Apparently they did NOT go to US at the same time - so there might be children and decendants of these left in Denmark.

Maybe somebody else can find the family after 1864?

To find descendants we can also try to find Hans Mortensens half-sister:

Ane Marie Pedersdatter *01 MAJ 1835 Aal (1833-1850 Ål, Vester Horne, Ribe Opsl 36)
CONF 3 MAR 1850 i Aal (Opsl. 59)

But as in the census of 1880 she is still not married:

Ribe, Vester Horne, Billum, Kjelst, En Gaard, 58, FT-1880, C8145
Navn:   Alder:   Civilstand:   Stilling i husstanden:   Erhverv:   Fødested:
Søren Thomsen Mathisen    50    Gift   Husfader og Gaardejer   Janderup
Maren Mathisen født Thuesen    45    Gift   Hans Kone      Billum Sogn, Ribe Amt
Thue Hansen Mathisen    17    Ugift   Deres Barn      Billum Sogn, Ribe Amt
Karen Mathisen       14    Ugift   Deres Barn      Billum Sogn, Ribe Amt
Mathis Søren Mathisen    12    Ugift   Deres Barn      Billum Sogn, Ribe Amt
Niels Marinus Mathisen    6    Ugift   Deres Barn      Billum Sogn, Ribe Amt
