Danske vestindien 1816

[mijath]

Hej, I'm sorry but I don't speak Danish very well, I hope English is allowed.

Below is a page from an 1816 list of 'frikulørte' people in St Croix.

I'm interested in person #1792 - Margaret/Peggy Montgomery - and her five children (#1793-97).

Can anyone tell me what the title of the seventh column is and what is written for Margaret?

I also cannot understand the title of the eighth column. I know that for Margaret it says she received her freedom on 28 February 1806 from Governor-General Mühlenfels. Can anyone help me with what is written for her five children?

Title of 8th column: Beviis for de Vedkommendes Frihed
                            →  Certificate for the freedom* of the person concerned
                                  *below called 'Friebrev' (letter of freedom)
About her children:
Den ovenstaaende deres Moders Friebrev >1792< vedhæftet Frigivelse af General Oxholm er dateret 11te Octobr 1804
og altsaa ere Børnene fødte efter Moderen var frie, saameget mere som Frigivelsen er kuns en Fornyelse og efter samme
har været frie siden aaret 1790.
  →
Above listed their mothers letter of freedom >1792< attached setting free by General Oxholm is dated 11th of October 1804
and therefore the children are born after their mother became free, as much as the setting free only is a renewal and after that
she has been free since the year 1790.

Med venlig hilsen
