  Note	(Mads Hansen Kofoed is thought to have been born sometime between 1580-90. He was the 'Proprietær' of Vellensgård in Nyker and Eskildsgård in Pedersker parish, both of which he got through marriage with Karen Jørgensdatter. He obtained permission to use the Kofoed coat-of-arms; later, in 1608, he known to have used the title of 'Free-man' (Frimand). On February 5, 1629 he obtained the commission as Chief Justice (Landsdommer) for Bornholm. In 1637 he presented 50 Silverdalers to Rønne Hospital in gratitude for their having nursed him back to health after he survived a storm at sea. {#13}Was involved in the surrender of Bornholm to the Swedish General Wrangel in 1645, after which he was judged a traitor to Bornholm and Danmark. After he died his widow was given a royal pardon for her husband's crime. I do not know of the place and circumstances of his death, he possibly died on Bornholm; however, he might have gone into exile with his brother Peder and like him died in Lübeck. {#13}Vellensgård and Eskildsgård are both classified as 'friegårds', later called 'proprietair' farms, which is the highest of the three farm classifications.[:CR:]
