Claus Mohr from Söndeborg

[Tomas Albertsson]

Hi

I am looking for some information about Claus Mohr born abt. 1761, Söndeborg, in Denmark.
He was a factor in Reykjavík Iceland 1799-1803, later in Keflavík 1816-1830. He died 19. July 1830 in Keflavík. He got "borgarabréf" in Reykjavík 27. June 1799.

He married 8. Oct. 1803 to Margrethe Andrea Hölter, but she refused to be married to him and they got divorced with kings permission 1804 or 1805. She married again 1809 to Lauritz Michael Knudsen.

Thanks
Tómas

You will find a Claus Mohr born 1761 in Sundsmark, Ulkebøl Parish, Chr. 22. July. Son of Mette Marie Groth and Hans Clausen Mohr.  Ulkebøl Parish is next to Sønderborg, and Sundsmark is a suburb to Sønderborg.
Source:  Sønderborg, Als Sønder, Ulkebøl, 1741-1722, picture 149.

At first glance his grand parents seem to be Claus Mohr and Mette Cathrine Vette.
