Sophie Karen Kirstine Marie Caspersdatter

Notes:

Parish records say Marie was baptized at home 30 January 1842,
and in the church 26 June 1842 . Witnesses were Mariane
Jensdatter from Koldkjaer, Karen Jensdatter from Bjerget, and
farmers Anders Rotb²l from Kaerup, Jens Jensen from Rotb²l, and
Svend Diernes from Lund. The following information comes from
Cai Mygind's book on families from Hanherred and Hillerslev
Herred, pages 58-60: Marie was born in Rotb²lgard just seven
months before her father died. Her mother remarried when she
was two years old, and Marie grew up with four half siblings on
the farm Madsb²l in Hjardemêal Klit. She is said to have been a
beauty, but 'a bit improvident.' Marie left home early to earn
a living, and by 1861 at age 19 she was a maid with Christen
Kvolsgêard at Bjerget. In 1868 she lived at Haverslev, but the
year after returned to Lild to become a maid with her late aunt
Karoline's husband, Christen Jensen Vabesgêard at the farm
Myrupgard. In 1871 she was at home with her mother and brother
at Karet and had a daughter by farmhand Niels Christian
Thomsen, who acknowledged paternity. In 1878 she had another
daughter, the father of whom was said to be farmhand Anders
Jensen from the farm Norgêard at Vust. It is said Marie and
Anders were not allowed to marry. Marie went home to Lild with
her baby, placing her older daughter with Marie's brother
Christian Caspersen and family in Nedergard at T²mmerby. The
1890 census shows her back in Myrupgard, now owned by her
cousin, Kasper Christensen Djernes Vabesgêard. Family tradition
says Marie's older daughter Karoline refused a suitor, who then
turned to Marie. In any case, Marie married widower Niels
Christian Nielsen, called Christian Sondermolle, a man 17 years
her junior, in 1895. They apparently lived happily in Lund
until Marie's death.
