Mads Andersen took over management of Krogegård in 1829 from his
father, who died two years later. Mads Andersen died at 47 years old
in 1838, his widow Kirstine Svendsdatter was granted permission to
stay at Krogegård (Bl. Ø. H. Skiftep. 1835-45 Fol. 119-2); the value
of the estate was estimated at 4,000 Rigsdalers. All three children
were under age, therefore the widows brother, Søren Low from
Melstedgård, came to live at the farm.
