♀Karen Andersen

Born about 1770.

Karen Andersen (born about 1770) was the wife of Hans Wollesen, a day-laborer at Rørkær, in Hostrup parish near Tønder in the Duchy of Schleswig. She was the fourth great-grandmother of Frederic Roger Curtis (1928–2007), through her son Anders Hansen (1794–1861).

Karen married Hans Wollesen, then a farm servant at Rørkær, in Hostrup church on 26 April 1794. The marriage entry calls her the daughter of the late Anders, a smallholder, and Johanna Peters, of a place the register spells Hünnerup; her father’s surname is written in a form whose spelling is uncertain. Her son Anders was born at Rørkær that August. The census of 1803, as transcribed, lists her as Caren Andersen, aged 33, with her husband and two sons, Andreas and Hans. By 1861 the couple were remembered as living at Jejsing, the neighboring village.

Notes

Hünnerup is not a village of Hostrup parish. The nearest match is Hinderup in the neighboring parish of Hellevad, where a Peters family lived in the 1760s and 1770s, but the Hellevad baptisms of 1764 to 1773 and marriages of 1764 to 1770 contain no child or marriage of an Anders and Johanna. A godmother at her son’s baptism, Kirsten, daughter of Anders, of Kragelund in Tinglev parish, may have been a sister. Her own baptism has not been found.
