18.6.1806. foretages registrering af boet, opgjort til 165 Rdlr. Der var da 6 heste, 4 køer og 11 får.
"Enkens lavværge Heile Christensen fordrede for korn og penge, som han havde lånt den afdøde, foruden de 170 Rdlr., som til forrige fæster var givet i afståelse, 100 Rdlr. Ejeren lod kræve april kvartals skatter, 5 Rdlr. og desuden den med gården overleverede besætning og inventar efter forrige fæsters overleveringsforretning til beløb 231 Rdlr. 4 Mk. 10 Sk. iberegnet sæde. og fødekorn. Af det anførte vil ses, at der intet kunne blive til at arve, idet boet ikke på langt nær var tilstrækkelig til gældens betaling, men ikke desto mindre ville enken skænke den afdødes arvinger til deling hans kiste, skab og de deri forefundne klæder. Annas rundhåndethed kan måske forklares derved, at hun allerede har en ny livsledsager i sigte" (P. Christensen).
