Notes:

Morten Christensen’s parents were Christen Sorensen and Ane Rasmusdatter. They had 3 children, but were never married. Else Marie Christendatter, the oldest daughter, was raised by her maternal grandmother Maren Pedersdatter. Marie Kirstine and Morten both stayed with their mother. Marie died at age 5. Ane Rasmusdatter then had another child with Villads Andersen who she married on the same day that they christened their first child. They had 5 other children together and Morten can be found living in their household which may be the reason some think his name is Morten Christensen Villadsen.
