After the death of the father, Mads Andersen, in 1787 the right to
Krogegård went to the youngest son: Hans Madsen. All six surviving
siblings agreed that Hans was to take over the farm, which was valued
at 162 Sliverdalers and 2 Marks, as well as all other assets and
liabilities. Also, he was to pay 200 Sliverdalers to his deceased
sister's children, and another 200 Silverdalers to his unmarried
sister Gundel. That sum of 400 Sldr. was not to be payed out, but
left in the estate at Krogegård (together with Gundel's 399 Sldr.
inheritance from her mother) until it was needed at some future date.
In 1793 Hans Madsen had a new residence built at Krogegård - an
inscription on a beam bears his and his wife's initials, it says:
"H.M.S. - A.M.H.D. Anno 1793 Majus 13." (Translation: the new house
of "Han Mads' Son and Anne Marie Hans' Daughter" was completed on May
13, 1793)
From the marriage with Anne Marie Hansdatter there was only one
child, son Mads Andersen; he would take over Krogegård after his
father.
