From records of Marilyn Carlson, Provo, Utah: Probate of "Simmen
Jacobsen Gramb" of 1 gaard in Povlsker with his six sons and 4
daughters. Eldest son: "Odber Simmenssen," 2nd: "Lodvig Simmenssen,"
3rd: "Lars Simmenssen," 4th: "Jacob Simmenssen," 5th: "Per
Simmenssen" and the youngest:
"Hans Simmenssen" -- all their own guardians. Eldest daughter:
"Karne," 24 yrs old, her guardian Povl Hanssen in Povlsker, the
second dau.: "Biritte," 18 yrs old, her
guardian Odber Simmen; 3rd: "Margrette Simmensdaatter" 16 years, her
guardian Lodvig Simmensen i Povlsker, the youngest: "Lissbeth
Simmenssdaater" 14 yrs, her
guardian Hans Krusse, Povlsker. Of guardians: we know Lodvig
Simmensen of Povlsker is Simon's oldest son (b. 1640) from his first
marriage and that Odber Simmen is
probably the eldest son of Simon J. Gramb; Probate of Jorgen Jacobsen
Gramb, dated 9 Mar 1682, of 2 JE grd, Beliggrude, Povlsker, Born.,
bk. 1, p. 89. His widow is Agde
(no last name). Other heirs are his 3 daughters. A guardian for one
of them is Lodvig Simonssen Gramb (no residence listed, so probably
Povlsker) -- known son of Simon
Jacobsen Gramb, altho' rel'p is not stated in this document. Others
in above probate: Simon Gram in Povlsker (no rel'p stated), but would
have to be the father of Lodvig S.
Gram, mentioned above. Soren Gram's burial, age 56 years, Aaker, on
18 Jan. 1677 (b. 1621) makes me need to list a possible father for he
and Simon Jacobsen Gram. On
possilbe first wife of Simon Jacobsen Gram: From the Åker kirkebog:
"Simon, Oster" has a wife, "Berete" died age 76 yrs, 1 Feb. 1677,
Aaker PR, 044,037. Does not give
his last name. Marriage: calc. as after the birth of her last known
child and before Simon's marriage to Elne Odbursdatter in abt. 1648.
Possible mother/step-mother of
Birgitte?: From Åker burial record: "Hans Oberss: Moder, af Grodby",
age 77. Both the unusual name and the residence lead me to believe
this is also Birgette
Odbersdatter's mother or stepmother. Possible father of Birgitte?:
From Åker burial record, dated April 11, 1650: "Odber til Jep Buchs",
no age, relationship, or last
name. May be another Odber, but there are so few. . . This database
