♀Kirsten Hansen

Born 1743. Died 1806, Jejsing, Sonderjylland, Denmark.

Kirsten Hansen was the wife of Wolle Wollesen, a cottager at Rørkær in Hostrup parish near Tønder, in the Duchy of Schleswig. She was the fifth great-grandmother of Frederic Roger Curtis (1928–2007), through her son Hans Wollesen (born 1773).

Early life

Kirsten was the daughter of Hans Arentzen and Els Petersen. A daughter Kirsten of Hans Arentzen “von Rorkar” was baptized at Hostrup on 16 April 1743, and the marriage register of 1764 names her father as Hans Arentzen; the clerks wrote the surname as Arentzen or Ahrentzen. The baptism entry does not name the mother, and the identification of the bride with the baptized child rests on the name, the place and the age of 21 at the marriage. Her older brother Matthies was baptized at Hostrup in 1737, and three older sisters died in childhood, buried in 1740 and 1741.

Marriage

She married Wolle Wollesen in Hostrup church on 29 September 1764, and their children were born at Rørkær, among them two sons named Hans, the first of whom died at nine weeks in 1770, the second born in 1773. When her husband died in May 1792 she was left a widow with six living children. Her son Hans’s marriage in April 1794 names her as Kirsten, born Hansen, of Rørkær.

Death

She died at Jejsing on 6 May 1806, a widow aged 62, and was buried at Hostrup on 11 May 1806. Her burial entry names her six surviving children: Apolonia (written “Ablon”), Anna Maria, Hans, Matthias, Agathe Kirstina and Wolle.
