place of residence in military levying rolls, Kærum sogn, Odense amt

[Lisa Petersen]

Will someone please tell me what Jens Pedersen's place of residence is in these levying rolls?

1797, 94 77, Jens, https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=16481031#490412,841904
1801, 77 67, Jens, https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=16481031#490639,843896
1805, 67 54, Jens, https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=16481031#490704,845772

I do not know what happened to him after 1805.  Jens Pedersen was born in 1768 in Dreslette sogn to Peder Nielsen & Anne Hansdatter.  Jørgen Hviid is his step-father, having married Anne Hansdatter sometime in 1770-1777.

Thanks for any help.

He has deserted (Rømt). It's near the coast, so maybe he took a job on a ship.

Thank you Ole for the reply.  It did look like Rømt in the later years, but I wasn't sure if the word in the earlier rolls was the same.

Is it unusual to be listed as deserted on 6 rolls during 14 years?

Being deserted will make it harder for me to trace him.  Oh well, I have other problems I can work on instead.

Hi Lisa

As long as the person hasn't died he will be listed in the rolls as Rømt, until he is so old, that he will be striken out. Being away for so many years I doubt that he will return. And he may also have died abroad.
