- In the Land-Registry of Bornholm for the year 1719, a man by the name of Esper Pedersen is registered as the owner of Sletteg?rd; his son Anders Espersen later sold the farm to "bachelor Jens Hansen, the fiancee of my dear sister Inger Espersdatter," and with this transaction Sletteg?rd became our family property. This happened in 1754, Jens Hansen was 25 years of age and Inger Esperdatter was 42 years old. The purchase sum was 459 Slettedaler, 1 Mark, 13 Skilling, and in the same document Jens Hansen signed for a 400 Sldr. loan from Anders Espersen. There was to be no interest paid, but Jens Hansen was obliged to take care of his brother-in-law for as long as he lived; however, he passed away only two years later, at the age of 53 years.
After 21 years of marriage Inger Espersdatter died in 1775, soon afterwards Jens married the 21 year old Bodil Ipsdatter. We know they had 13 children, of which only one survived, their daughter Anne Kirstine, who is recorded in their probate records. After owning Sletteg?rd for 45 years he passed on the farm, in 1799, to his daughter Anne Kirstine and her husband-to-be Peder Mogensen, who was from "Vedby" in Olsker. The purchase price was 2,000 Sldr., which was to be paid as follows: "1,200 Sldr. is a gift to my dear daughter, of the remaining 800 Sldr., the 600 Sldr. has to be paid next New Year's and the final 200 Sldr. will be left standing to pay for the funerals of myself and my wife."

He is recorded as having died of old age and heart trouble (Alderdomssvaghed og Brystklemmelse) as the "Undentagsmand" (retired man) at Sletteg?rd.
According to the Land-Registry Sletteg?rd was valued at 2 Td. 2 Skp. 1 Fdk. 2 Alb. 2-49/65 Pt. Hartkorn (wheat), whereof a tax was to be paid of 3 Rdl., 3 Mk., 5 Sk., 2 Alb. In the Land-Registry of 1773 is the following description of Sletteg?rd: "A well-built farm in three parts, with 28 sections and a beautiful forest of ash and beech trees, hawthorns and beech shrubbery, covering 4 Td.

In the Agriculture Ministry archives the land belonging to the farm in 1805 is described thus:
