Claus Bohn is first recorded as living at his father-in-law's farm:
Lille Dammegård, 23' Slg. Klemensker, but that farm was given over to
a Jørgen Larsen in 1763. Claus Bohn's mother Ursula Mogensdatter Torn
died in 1763, so he must have moved from there to Vallegård in Nyker.
In 1774 he is recorded as having purchased Kirkebo, 7' Vdg. in
Klemensker, for 898 Silverdalers. He is known to have had two wives,
at this time no absolute proof as to which is Seigne Kirstine's
mother, this should be found in the Nyker kirkebog; however, Karen
Agnete Nielsdatter is listed in "Kures Gårdfortengelser" as being
alive in 1763, and that Seigne was born in 1764. The 1787 census
shows Karen Andersdatter (who was Claus Bohn's second wife) was
living with Seigne and her husband, and states that Karen Anderdatter
is her mother. This is not ultimate proof, however, as in those days
a step-mother could have been considered (for any legal purposes) her
"mother". From the Nyker kirkebog: March 24, 1764: Løverdagen den 24
