Notes:

Erik Pedersen 5.9.1723-sept, 1803 var ligesom faderen fæster på Nejst, som var den ene af to tvillingegårde under Vraa gods. Han giftede sig først, da han var 50 år. Men han havde udenfor ægteskab en søn: Peder Eriksen, f.1763. Drengens mor hed Sara Larsdatter. Måske er Peder vokset op på Nejst. I hvert fald opholdt han sig ifl. folket lling 1787 der som Erik's "uægte" søn. Senere blev han gift to gange, og i 1812 boede han på gården Striben.

Erik's kone: Ane Marie Jensdatter 1748-1791 var fra Foldstedgaard, Ajstrup sogn, men hendes forældre kendes ikke. Hun var 25, da de blev gift. De fik otte børn:

Laurs Erichsen, f. 1774, d.1826
dødfødt pige 1775
Jens Erichsen, f.1777, d.1777
Jens Erichsen, f. 1778
Karen Erichsdatter, f. 1780
Anders Erichsen, f. 1784
Peder Erichsen, f. 1786, d.1786
Margrethe Erichsdatter, f. 1789

Men så dør[d] Ane Marie kun 43 år gl. De fem overlevende børn er da i alderen 16 til 2 år, og Erik er selv 68 og betegnes som "en aldrende og skrøbelig mand". Han levede dog fortsat i 12 år.

Der har været velstand til huse. Da Erik blev enkemand, blev det samlede bo vurderet til godt 900 Rdl., og det var megetdengang. Der var bl.a. en usædvanlig samling af sølvsager, som tegnede sig for godt 100 Rdl. i vurderingen. Den bestod af tre sølvkander, fire sølvbægre og sytten Sølvskeer, alle med initialer og de fleste med årstal – fra 1609 til 1743. Den ældste kande havde endda fulde navne: Erich Skram og Anne Wind, og da de fleste af de andre ting også havde initialer med "S", kan der måske være tale om et auktionskøb efter slægten Skram.

Boet gik iøvrigt i arv på den måde, at Erik fik halvdelen, mens den anden halvdel blev fordelt mellem børnene, sådan at drengene fik dobbelt så meget som pigerne. For man reg­ nede med, at de senere skulle have medgift. På et tidspunkt overtager den ældste søn gården, og Erik lever resten af sit 80 årige liv på aft gt på Nejst.

Erik Pedersen 5.9.1723-sept, 1803 was like his father a tenant farmer on Nejst, which was one of two twin farms which were under the estate manor of Vraa. He married when he was 50. But he had one son out of wedlock: Peter Eriksen, f.1763. The boy's mother was Sara Larsdatter. Perhaps Peter grew up on Nejst. At least he shows up on the 1787 census as Erik's "illegitimate" son. Later he was married twice and in 1812 we found him living on the farm Striben.

Erik's wife Ane Marie Jensdatter 1748-1791 was from Foldsted farm, Ajstrup parish, but her parents are not known. She was 25 when they married. They had eight children:

Laurs Erichsen b. 1774 , d.1826
stillborn girl in 1775
Jens Erichsen, b.1777, d.1777
Jens Erichsen, born in 1778
Karen Erichsdatter, b 1780
Anders Erichsen, b. 1784
Peter Erichsen, b. 1786 d.1786
Margrethe Erichsdatter, b. 1789

But then Ane Marie died at only 43 years old. The five surviving children were aged 16 to 2 years and Erik was 68 and described as "an aging and frail man." He did however, live for another 12 years.

There had been some wealth on this farm. When Eric became a widower, the total value of the estate was over 900 Rdl, and that was very much at that time. This included an unusual collection of silver objects, which accounted for just over 100 Rdl. in the assessment. It consisted of three silver pitchers, four silver cups and seventeen silver spoons, all with initials and most from the years 1609 to 1743. The oldest pitcher even had full names engraved, Erich Skram and Anne Wind, and since most of the other things also had initials with "S", it might be possible these were from an estate auction sale by the Skram family.

The estate had been passed down in a way that Erik got half, while the other half was divided among the children, so that the boys got twice as much as the girls. This was the custom as they would later have the dowry.At some point the eldest son [Laurs] took over the farm, and Erik lived the rest of his 80 year life as a pensioner on Nejst.

Erik married Anne Marie Jensdatter on 02 Nov 1773 in Ajstrup, Ajstrup Sogn, Aalborg Amt, Danmark. Anne was born in 1748 in Folstedgaard, Ajstrup Sogn, Aalborg Amt, Danmark; died in 1791 in Nejst, Øster Brønderslev Sogn, Hjørring Amt, Danmark. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
