The Nyker church records show he was confirmed there in 1816, and
states: Peder Pedersen, received good marks for knowledge and
behaviour. The 1824 marriage record states: "Ungkarl Peder Mogensen
Pedersen tjenende 5' Vorned Gaard 21-1/4 Aar gl. Forlovere: 27' Slg.
Anders Bech og Kirkesanger Jensen." After their marriage he and his
wife went to live at Skarpeskadegård. Their marriage was traditional,
in-so-far as it was celebrated in the bride's home church in
Klemensker, and was witnessed by her father. Peder Mogensen's father
was deceased by that time, so the second witness was the church
cantor Jensen. Peder Pedersen sold Skarpeskadegård in 1832, but had
already moved to Nyker in 1831. The 1845 census for Nyker shows:
Peder Mogensen, 44, born in Nyker, Træskomager; Margrethe
Andersdatter, 44, Klemensker; their children: Niels Peter Mogensen,
18; Karen Mogensen, 13, Nyker; Hans Peter Mogensen, 12, Nyker; Jens
Peter Mogensen, 8, Nyker; Gertrude Mogensen, 5, Nyker; Petrea C.
Mogensen, 2, Nyker.
