Many thanks for the transcription.

It seems strange to me that it states he was a widow for 38 years because Christian remarried in 1690 and had a son as late as 1701. Could the 38 years be referring to the death of his first wife (Martha?) - I have not determined when she died.

38 Years would mean he was a widow as of 1688. I have found the death of his 1-year old son in 1688:

Maybe his first wife died about the same time, but I have not found a death entry for her.

Kind regards,

Ellen
