Jep Larsen took over the family farm of Vasegård, 42 Slg. Åker, after his marriage to Berete (patronymic possibly Andersdatter?). He later obtained Soldatergård, 43 Slg. Åker, circa 1663; which farm his youngest surviving son from his second marriage, Hans Ibsen, later inherited when he came of age. The family farm, Vasegård, was taken over by his youngest son, Lars Ibsen, from his first marriage.

Note (Norman Lee Madsen)
Oluf Kofoed owned the freeman's estate-farm of Blykobbegård in Nykerparish from 1616, and also Frigård, 15 Vdg. in Vestermarie parish. Louise Skovgaard wrote "Af Oluf Koefoeds efterslægt" (Of Oluf Koefoed's Descendants).

Blykobbegård is classified as a "friegård", later called a "proprietair" farm, the highest of the three classes of farms: Proprietair (Propr.), Selvejergård (Slg.) and Vornedegård (Vdg.). The surname "Blykop" is connected to this farm.

From Bornholm's Jordebog of 1662:
Sønder Herridt, Pollschier Sogn, Vaarneder: Peder Rasmussen - OlleKoefoeds bunde. (5 Vdg.)
Sønder Herridt, Pollschier Sogn, Vaarneder: Anders Hansen, Olle Koefoedsbunde. (4 Vdg.)
Sønder Herridt, Pollschier Sogn, Vaarneder: Arist Hansen, Olle Koefoedsbunde. (8 Vdg.)
Vester Herridt, Vestermarck Sogn, Vaarneder: Laurids Madsen - OeleKoefods bunde. (15 Vdg.)
Vester Herridt, Nykier Sogen, Vaarneder: Peder Mortensen - Oele Kofoedsbunde. (10 Vdg.)

According to Evdard Skovgaard, in "1000 Aner til en Skovgårdsslægt", it is likely that Sidsel died circa 1670. This seems to be based on thefact that the youngest surviving son, Hans Olufsen Kofoed, sold Blykobbegård in January of 1671 to Ernst Canseler.

Kure's farm-listing for Blykobbegård gives Oluf Kofoed's wife's name as Sidsel Hansdatter; while the listing for Frigård names her as Sidsel Madsdatter and gives her death as 1670.

The November 3, 1700 probate for Niels Terchildsen, who was first married to Oluf Kofoed's daughter Kirstine Olufsdatter Kofoed (died 1683) mentions an item with the initials: O.K. - S.M.D.; it seems likely that this would be for Niels Terchildsen's deceased in-laws: Oluf Kofoed - Sidsel MadsDatter.

The seal (segl) of Oluf Kofoed's son Hans Kofoed Olufsen (died 1694), of Blykobbegård in Nyker parish, combines both the chevron (sparre) image of the Rønne-branch of the Kofoed-family with the Bjergegaard-family's pike's jawbone (geddekæft) image. In his article "Over Hals og hoved" Sigvard Mahler Dam speculates that Hans Kofoed Olufsen's mother may have been a member of the Bjergegaard-family; and that in that period the daughter's of Jørgen Pedersen (died 1588) are the most probable candidates. Of Jørgen Pedersen's 3 daughters only one is a likely candidate: Elline Jørgensdatter, who is known to have been married to Esbern Kofoed, of Poulsker parish, in 1608 and 1618. Elline received 3 farms from her father's estate: Frigård, 12 Vdg. Poulsker parish; Tuegård i Egeby, 6 Vdg. Åker parish; and Mæbygård, 1 Vdg. Nykerparish. Sigvard notes that in Bornholm's Land-Tenancy Book for the period 1622-1625 there were 2 farms in Poulsker and 1 in Åker (possibly Julegård, 14 Vdg.?) held by an Oluf Kofoed. Sigvard speculates that Esbern Kofoed had died 1618-1622, and Oluf Kofoed had married his widow, namely Elline Jørgensdatter.

From "På spor af de første Kofod'er" by Jørn Klindt, published 1979:
On the 31st of May 1563 the war started up with a terrible sea battle off the Rønne shoreline. Later that same year the Danish-Lübeck fleet, under the command of Peder Skram, patrolled the sea between Bornholm and Øland- wherein, as was the custom, they went ashore and requesitioning heavy taxes. Amid all the skirmishes a small Bornholm fishing boat was trapped by the Swedes of Øland. The Swedish Admiral, Jacob Bagge, had also been taken prisoner by the Lübeck commander of Hammershus, Sweder Ketting; whourged his prisoner to write a letter to his superior officer at Kalmar Castle to suggest an exhange of the four Bornholmer fishermen with four Swedish prisoners on Bornholm. In another letter sent at the same time to the Swedish king, he writes: "We are treated well - but for God's sake give the Danish prisoners humane treatment - some are of the nobility and respected men." We find that one of the Bornholm fishermen (the ship's captain?) was named "Æsbiörnn Kofoth" (Esbern Kofod).

The war was full of cruelties on all sides, from the Bornholm shore witnesses viewed the Swedes tie up their Lübeck prisoners on thier own ship and then set it on fire. Prisoners of war were slit open and thrown over board, and the Lübeck commander Sweder Ketting was horrified to find their remnants washed ashore the next day, writing: "God Almighty help us that we should not alow such horrible transgressions go unpunished." The Danish admiral, Herluf Trolle, was also shocked by the terrible cruelty committed by the Swedes against their prisoners, and together with Jacob Bagge formulated a request to the Swedish king: "Your Royal Majesty's navy has subjected its prisoners to a most cruel, inhumane treatment unheard of in any warring nation. Your Royal Majesty must know that Godwill surely render His punishment." However, the Swedish king was going insane at that time, so we do not know if the request was heeded.

The cruelties of the war caused an uproar throughout Europe - especially since Lübeck, a free-city in the Hoy Roman Empire, was involved. It is not known if the request did any good; it is doubtful that the exchange of prisoners ever took place, nor is it known if "Æsbiörnn Kofoth" ever returned home. Although the researcher M.K. Zarthmann thought that he must be identical to the Esbern Kofod who was a customs officer and later mayor of Rønne until 1623. I have not been able to find any other justification for this hypothes is than the fact that they were both seamen; if Esbern, for example, was 20 years old when taken prisoner in 1563, he would still have been in the office of mayor at age 80 - which seems unlikely. Age-wise a more probable connection is that of the Esbern Kofod, who in 1569 lived at "Kofodgaard" (later known as Frigård, 15 Vdg.) in Vestermarie parish - we do not know anything about him, butat least we can allow ourselves the fantasy that he just could be "Æsbiörnn Kofoth", who survived cruel imprisonment and later on abandoned his life at sea to settle on a farm.

In 1586 he is recorded as living in Rønne, and in 1590 and 1608 as the owner of the Freeman's estate Blykobbegård in Nyker parish.

Hans Kofoed is recorded in Bornholm's Jordebog as the taxpayer for Rosmannegård, 27' Slg. Knudsker, in 1611; and as the taxpayer for 26'Slg. Knudsker (part of the Store Almegård estate) in 1617, and in the Hammershus Regnskaber, 1617-1631 as being "Hans Koefoed aff Knudsker Sogen", one of the men presiding on February 14, 1625 over the division of the estate of Christopher Olsen's wife Seigne, who had been beheaded for witchcraft.

Sigvard Mahler Dam states, in "Over Hals og hoved" (published in SAXO, 1991), that he discovered that in 1666 there was a case in court concerning the estate of the deceased widow Christine Kiøller (died 1665), in which Hans Olufsen Kofoed, the grandson of Hans (Madsen)Kofoed, states that he is as close an heir after Christine Kiøller as her guardian Claus Kames. Christine is the daughter of Christen Clausen Køller (died circa 1582) and Margrethe Mogensdatter Uf, of Store Hallegård in Olsker.

Sigvard notes that Hans Kofoed named a son Claus, and another son Jacob, which up to that point had not been given names used by the Kofoed-family. Since Christen Clausen Køller had named a son Jacob, Sigvard speculates that Claus and Jacob are Køller family names. Sigvard also notes that Christine Kiøller's brother Christen Clausen Kiøller (junior) signed documents in 1624 and 1628, while he was Bornholm's chiefjustice, which concerned the Kofoed family. (This information was first published in Julius Bidstrup's book on Kofoed family A.)

Based on the above, Sigvard suggests that Hans Kofoed's wife may have been the daughter of Christen Clausen Køller (senior) and Margrethe Mogensdatter Uf. (Or possibly it is Hans Olufsen Kofoed's mother Sidsele who is the relative of Christine Kiøller? - Norman Madsen)

However, it seems just as possible that Hans Kofoed's wife was the half-sister of Christen Clausen Køller (died circa 1582, of Store Hallegård in Olsker). According to Edvard Skovgaard, in "1000 Aner til en Skovgårdsslægt" (pub. 1989), Christen Clausen Køller is the son of a Claus Köller (from Pomerania) and Margarete von Schinckel. Possibly "Margarete von Schinckel" is the same person as the wife of Claus Clausen Kames, namely "Margrethe" (died May 10, 1693) of Rønne? Claus Clausen Kames and Margrethe are said to be the grandparents of the Claus Kames mentioned in the 1666 court case. - Norman Lee Madsen, January 28, 2003.

At the "Frimandsmødet" held on September 6, 1572 there were 17 men named as being in attendance: 1. Jacob Iversen, Landsdommer; 2. Mester Peder W(= Peder [Mogensen] Uf); the brothers 3. Peder Hansen; and 4. Bent Hansen; 5. Jørgen Pedersen; 6. Peder (Madsen) Kofoed; 7. Oluf Madsen; 8.Oluf Bagge; 9. Hans Mogensen, as he was away at the king's court he was represented by his father Mogens Hansen; 10. Peder (Hansen) Myre; 11. Jørgen Gagge; 12. Berent Hansen (= Berild Hansen); 13. Laurids Pedersen; 14. Jens (Madsen) Kofoed; 15. Christen (Clausen) Kiøller; 16. Peder Hansen (Uf); and 17. Hans (Madsen) Kofoed. Three advisers to the Danish Parliment (Rigsråder) had been sent to preside over the meeting, namely: Biørn Kaas of Starupgaard, Biørn Andersen of Stenholt, and Jørgen Marsvin of Dybæk. The group expressed heartfelt and solemn words about faithful service to the crown; and it seems they had an inkling of things to come, and therefore begged the King not to let himself be "seduced" by Lübeck's representative Sveder Ketting, "because you might expect that Lübeck only plotted to keep our island under their yoke." This was during the period in which Bornholm was strongly under the influence (and rulership) of the Hanseatic League free-city of Lübeck; the Bornholmers felt greatly put upon by the high taxes, unfair rules, and high-handedness of the Lübeckers. Contrary to the opinion of latter historians they must have convinced the envoys, as on the 9th of September the freemen were granted the right to gather shipwrecks from the beaches, hunt in the woods, as well as given full authority over their servants - a great victory for the freemen.

Hans Kofoed is known to have been living in Rønne in 1586, and to have been to owner of Heslegård, 21' Vdg. Østerlars parish. Hans Kofoed, named as a "Frimand", was one of the delegates who on May 6, 1608, in København, selected and confirmed Prince Christian as the future King of Denmark. He also, along with Peder (Poulsen) Kofoed (1548-1616), took part in the following festivities in Lund, Skåne (now part of Sverige/Sweden), where the nobility swore their allegiance to Prince Christian in the year 1610.

Their written authorization to attend is stated as follows:
"We, the hereafter stated signatories: Jens Kofoedt of Kyndegaard, Hanns Kofoedt of Blykobbegaard, Peder Koefoedt of Bagisgaard, Matz Koefoedt of Eskiilsgaard, and Niels Beriildsen of Gadebygaard, all Freemen of Borringholm, and present here together hereby declare. . . The honest and noble man: Hanns Lindenow, Commander of Hammershus Fortress, has according to our consent, requested these two persons: the honourable Hans and Poffuill Koefoedt to travel to Kiöbenhaffn with our authorized document and be our representatives (at Prince Christian's election). . .as further documentation we have in our own handwriting signed and sealed this our open-letter."

The above letter is dated: "Borringholm, 6 Maij, Anno 1608" With the signatures of: Jenns Koefoedt, Hans Kofod, Peder Koefoedt, Matz Koefoedt, Jacob Køller, Hans Berillsenn, Niels Berendtzen. (Jørn Klindt notes that Hans Kofoed's signature is not like that of his brother the Judge Jens Kofoed - the Judge was experienced and fluent at handwritting – while Hans Kofoed, being a farmer, was unaccustomed to feather and ink, which easily made blotches!)

From the seven seals affixed we can see that Jens Kofoed and Hans Kofoed, and Hans Kofoed's son Mads, used the "Sparre" (Chevron) image in their seals, but Peder Kofoed did not -- his seal was simply marked "P.K." Also, note that "Borringholm" and "Kiöbenhaffn" are the old style spellings of Bornholm and København (Copenhagen).

In 1595 Hans Kofoed had incorporated the image of a chevron (gavlsparren) in his seal; this later became the most widely incorporated image in later Kofoed seals. The "sparre" was the symbol used by his mother Gunhild's family in their coat of arms. His eldest son Mads Kofoed used this image from 1608, and his descendants (the "Rønne family" or "branch B" as this line of the family was referred to by Julius Bidstrup) used it as well.

Hans Kofoed at one point held the position of churchwarden (kirkeværge) for Nyker parish. He lived long enough to see his children prosper; they were privileged to have been born as freemen and have wealthy and influential relations. Through marriages they further built up their family position.

The "Danish Coat of Arms" registry includes no less than 18 familie scarrying the "sparre" (chevron) as part of their coat of arms. The image of the chevron used by the Rønne branch of the Kofoed-family seems to have come to it via the Uf-family of Skåne province. Noblemen of the Uf-family settled on Bornholm around the year 1400, and when the Mads Kofoed married into that family it seems that his descendants adopted the Uf's coat of arms with its depiction of a "sparre" (chevron). Later, as the "Rønne family" and the "Østermarie family" began to inter-marry the image of the chevron can be seen together with the cow-foot image of the Østermarie line descended from Poul Kofoed (-1549-1572-) of Kofoedgård in Østermarie parish.

From the book "Danske adelsvåbener, en heraldisk nøgle", Politikens Forlag, 1973, København:
Kofod. Et koben. Farver og eventuel hjelmfigur kendes ikke. Markvard Kofod, væbner, 1378; afkom ukendt. NDA side 151.

(Translated to english:)
Kofod. On the shield a cow-foot. Colours and eventual helmet-design unknown. Markvard Kofod, arms carrier in 1378; no known descendants. NDA page 151.

According to Sigvard Mahler Dam's article "De bornholmske væbnerslægter Uf og Splid - noget nyt om deres våbener", (Heraldisk Tidsskrift, 1982), the Kofoed-family's arms carried a blue chevron on a red background, with 2 white vesselhorns on the helmet, and that "Danmarks Kirker", volume 7, Bornholm, tells the same, but incorrectly lists the arms as the belonging to the Gagge-family.

From the Hammershus Regnskaber, 1580-1617:
