Christen Jensen til KAUPANGER

His origin is not known, but perhaps he was from Denmark. Some sources interpret that he was of noble family. His name is never seen with the LYSTRUP surname. Nevertheless this name which his son used, may be from him. Christen was the bailiff in Sogn from abt. 1566. He still lived in 1599, but died a short time after that. His wife, whose christian name is not 100% sure, was married twice. When she married Christen Jensen abt.1567 she was a widow after the former bailiff Christopher Andersen. Christen and Anne had at least three children: Christopher til KAUPANGER; Nils bailiff in Southern Hordaland; Skak.


Skak Christensen LYSTRUP

He is mentioned in documents for the first time in 1603. He then lived at the Kaupanger farm, but in 1611 he farmed at Vestrem. Vestrem is quite near Kaupanger however. In a survey from 1617 he is seen to be quite comfortably off. He owned these farms or at least parts of them: Kaupanger, Vestrem, Olstad, Hovland, Espeseter, Bermål in Sogn, and Bjerke, Ulven, Velang, Bringen in Hedmark (Eastern Norway). Skak died at Vestrem in 1634. The name of his name is not known quite sure, but she probably was a Inger or Inga. Three sons are known: Christen (abt.1608-1693); Gjertrud (d.1638); Anne; Torbjørn; Laurits (to Hovland farm); Oluf.

These are known: Karen; Marte; Aagot; Anne; Bodil; Inger; Marie Olufsdatter (LYSTRUP) who married Gulbrand Jensen BRATT.
