- Elisabeth/Lisabeth/Elsebeth Larsdatter is the daughter of Lars ?dbersen and Johanne Pedersdatter of R?nne, proof for this can be found in the 1761 probate held after Johanne's death.
The 1771 census gives Elisabeth Larsdatter's age as 43, thus born circa 1728; while the 1787 census would place Elisabeth's birth year at circa 1727, her burial record at circa 1723, according to "Sl?gten Low-Lov-Lou II", by Elsa Lau, she was born circa 1724.
Both the listing in "Kures G?rdfortegnelser" for Store Grammeg?rd, 22 Slg. in ?ker, and Louise Skovgaard, in "Haagen Sonesen R?nneby", name her parents as Margrethe Olsdatter and Lars ?dbersen Gram - this is incorrect. Elsa Lau, in "Sl?gten Low-Lov-Lou", correctly maintains that her mother is Johanne Pedersdatter who died in R?nne in 1761. Elisabeth Larsdatter's christening record is not to be found in the ?ker kirkebog, the R?nne registry only begins in 1730, and the Klemensker registry pre-1800 was destroyed in a fire.
She had four children born in her first marriage with Jeppe Olsen, with whom she had many problems, beginning early in their marriage, as can be seen in the ?ker-?kirkeby parish register:
"Today, September 13, 1750, Jeppe Olsen and his wife from Hulleg?rd were publically admonished in the parsonage." The wife complained about her husband's terrible behaviour when drunk, which often occurred. Stating that he cursed at her and beat her up, forcing her to flee to her parent's home. Jeppe Olsen complained that his wife abandoned him and that she took property with her when she ran away.
Both of them were severly reprimanded with the words of God, and Elisabeth ordered to return to her husband and treat him in a Christian manner - patiently and fairly. Jeppe Olsen had to ask the Lord for Salvation from his great sin of drunkeness; and to contemplate all the evil deeds he had previously committed, which had resulted in a jail sentence only that previous April 21, 1750.
Jeppe promised to reform his ways, gave his hand to his wife and walked away from the parsonage. Elsebeth Larsdatter went on to have further personal and financial problems in her second marriage to Hans Poulsen Lou. Records state that Elsebeth Larsdatter "died in a field" in ?ker (d?d paa marken), it was written she was 66 years old.

Extracted from the probate for Jeppe Olsen, December 11, 1758, page 609b:

Elisabeth faired no better with her second husband, Hans Poulsen Lou, who was mentioned several times in the ?ker parish register for his "forargelig Levned og bestandige Fylderier" (scandalous way of life and constant drunkenness). To support this lifestyle Hans Poulsen Lou frequently needed to borrow money. In 1761, to pay his debts, Elisabeth agreed to mortgage her "undentag" (retirement income) from the 44th freehold farm in ?ker, which she had received in guarantee as part of an agreement in the sale of her deceased first husband Jeppe Olsen's farm Hulleg?rd. An "undentag" - literally meaning "under-roof" - contract was a common means of ensuring a secure old-age retirement, as it included provisions for room-and-board.
The following is an excerpt from the "Tingbogen" no. 2, page 355:
(In the original Danish:)
