Only the birth year is known as well as two mariages.
Peder Jensen Elling is seen with several names. When he was confirmed in Almind Church in 1762 he is called Peder Jensen Hoerup of Aunsbjerg. Later he is found as Peder Jensen Kusk. This name he must have got because he was a coachman (=kusk) on Liselund, before his mariage.
The Elling name is harder to find, but we must assume that he has ben coachman for someone by the name Elling, and because of that has recieved this name.
At Peder Jensen Elling's mariage, he has propably taken over the farm from his father inlaw.
May 22. 1802 he buys the farm.
