MARRIAGE: Ibid.; p. 679. Son-in-law of Casper Gersdorff. Since his oldest
granddaughters (through Ollegaard) are named Dorthe and Else, his wife's name
may be Else (using maternal grandmother's name second; cf. the pattern used
in naming Ollegaard's boys: first after paternal grandfather, second after
maternal grandfather). The article lists three children of this marriage.
It indicates that Caspar and his brother-in-law Melchior Juel divided the
estate into Oster and Vester Hindsels in 1666; Oster Hindsels became Caspar's.
