- From the records of Louise Skovgaard we see that Kirstine Olufsdatter Kofoed was probably born around 1620-25 and was married circa 1650 to the 19 year old Niels Terchildsen "fra Aaby". Kirstine was possibly already a widow at the time they were married, in any case she seems to have been a bit older than Niels; though if she had been there were no surviving children from that marriage.
From 1650 (hense the assumed marriage date) the couple lived at S?ndre Mulebyg?rd, 25 Slg. Nyker. In 1661 they moved to N?rdre Mulebyg?rd, 26 Slg. Nyker. In the probate record after her death Kirstine is only referred to as "Christine Ollesdatter", but in the proceedings after Niels Terchildsen's death in 1700, she is referred to as "Kirstine Olluf Koefoeds daatter", and it is known that she was the sister of Hans Kofoed of Ladeg?rd in Klemensker parish.
From Bornholm's Jordebog of 1658, compiled during the Swedish occupation of the island:

Extracted from the probate for Kirstine Olufsdatter Kofoed, June 18, 1683, page 197b:
Anno 1683 dend 18 Juny er efter loulig giorde tillysning holden rigistering og vurdering, sampt skifte og deehling, efter Corporal Niels Terkelsens sal. hustru nafnlig Chirstene Ollsdaatter, som boede og d?de paa dend 26 gaard i Nykier Sogn.

Dend eldste daatter Margrete Nielsdaatter, for hende skred hendis mand Hans Bendtsen. Dend yngste daatter Karen Nielsdaatter 22 aar gammel, for hende verger faderen Niels Terkelsen.
Like many Bornholmers of his time Niels Terchildsen was more of a soldier than a farmer. He was from the same time period as the "Liberator" Jens Pedersen Kofoed, and took part in the revolt against the newly installed Swedish overlords in 1658. That was soon over with, but in the years following Niels Terchildsen, as a Corporal in the Cavalry, worked diligently training young soldiers in weaponry. The military wage was only minimal, so he must have derived the main part of his income from his own farm.
At 52 years old Niels wed the 23 year old Bartha, daughter of councillor Christen Pedersen's widow at Vestre Pileg?rd in Klemensker. She died at the age of 30 years after giving birth to their fourth child. Their children had all survived, so on her death-bed the mother was worried about the fate of her little ones. She asked her sister Kirsten and husband Morten Mogensen of S?ndreg?rd in Nyker to care for the little two year old Karen, which they did.
The 60 year old widower then in 1691 married his third wife, who was the sister of Parson Svend Nielsen of Nyker. The wedding was celebrated in his parsonage and no doubt was a grand affair, as custom prescribed. Among the gifts Mette Nielsdatter received two silver spoons and a silver mug. She gave Niels Terchildsen five more children. Their youngest daughter was christened on August 19, 1700, and only a couple of months later the father past away.
After Niels Terchildsen's death probate was held for N?rdre Mulebyg?rd, 26 Slg. in Nyker on November 3, 1700, at which time it was valued at 240 Slettedaler. In the probate it states that his dress uniform was made of red and grey cloth with many silver and brass buttons, with silver-stitching on the sleeves, leather trousers, "l?derk?llert (leather-bludgeon)", lace decorations, leather adornments and "kramhoser" (tight, high boots) with cuffs. Also a purebred saddle-horse with a red dress-blanket and black leather-saddle.
The probate records also state that his two sons-in-law, Hans Bendtsen and J?rgen Svendsen, were called upon to take over the guardianship of two of his wife Kirstine's deceased brother Hans Kofoed's children (his 6th and 7th of 10 children).
