I have not been able to find any sources. Thanks for any help.

Hi Sue, Adelsmand Mathiesen is my 6th great grandfather. Would it be possible to share the document you have that shows that he was the overseer of the Wedel Jarlsberg estate? My email address is khryciw61@hotmail.com. Thank you!

I believe he remained on the Wedel Jarlsburg estate. I found documentation the said he was the overseer of the estate. I need further confirmation of this though. Jens Mathieson was the doctor at the Lokken copper mine before he went to Røros. The present day Kaffe Stuga was the home of Jens and Elizabeth Gude Mathieson. They are buried in the cemetery at Røros.

Are there any sources in Roros to trace his history farther back ? to Germany ?

Adelsmand Mathiesen was born there 1720 and his son was Dr. Jens Mathiesen born 1747. Wondering if both are buried at the church there.
