Nissen

♂Peter Nissen

Born about 1774.

Peter Nissen (born about 1774) was a son of the Brodersby farmer Claus Nissen and Margrethe Dorthea Nissen, in the Duchy of Schleswig^W. He was the third great-grand-uncle of Frederic Roger Curtis (1928–2007), the brother of Anna Christina Nissen (1794–1865), Roger’s third great-grandmother.

The census of February 1803 lists him at Brodersby, in Gottorp district, aged 29, unmarried and living at home. That age puts his birth about 1774, some twenty years before Anna Christina’s. Three of his sisters appear in the same parish that year: Carolina Catharina (24), Catharina Maria (22) and Anna Magdalena (11).

No trade, marriage, children or death date is known. Anna Christina later went north with her husband to Højst parish, and her burial entry of 1865 names Claus and Margrethe Dorthea as her parents; nothing places Peter there.
