Notes for Jens Tobias Peder Lassen
#2 of 3 generations of the Lassen family with the same name.

He grew up on Ny Skivehus99 and Stubbergaard100 manor farms.

Was only 23 years old when he purchased Grågård, which was to become the family farm, but showed himself quickly to be a very diligent farmer.

He passed his "studentereksamen" and had commenced law studies, and so was a very well-learned farmer. He was quite well-to-do and was active in cultivating and staking out the farm's building grounds. He wrote land titles and recorded minutes of the many societies of which he was the chairman.

BIRTH Date is from his headstone in Thorning, birthplace is from Census 1850.

Shown on Thorning Tilgangs Liste (1828 n 39 S23)101 as arriving in Thorning from Duelund in 1828 (~26 years old) but he may have owned the farm before he moved there.
