    Notes:

    Goto Predestinatia – "Bozhiye Predvideniye", "Божие Предвидение", "Гото Предестинация") 58 (1700) – Flagship of vice-admiral Cornelius Cruys during Russo-Turkish War (1710–1711), sold to Turkey 1711

    Apellone was the one who kept the dispute going. It is assumed that the aforementioned land is where the Thrngalleriet is today. Apellone Nilsdatter Koch meets in 1678, Guri Nilsdatter Berland from Gjestdal. According to Apellone, Guri Nilsdatter Berland at St. Hansdag had been in the treasury with Apellone's husband, Hans. Guri Nilsdatter Berland had arrived in Stavanger and was riding along Breiavatnet. Here she came out to Hans Olsen (Apellones srann) and two other small boys who threw stones at her horse. This probably happened near Skolebekken, because one of the conscripted wives had sat on the churchyard wall and seen how it happened. Guri Nilsdatter Berland fell off her horse twice, but she was no more injured than she got hold of Hans Olsen, whom she hit "and put him out in the Brewand on his knees". Afterwards, he was taken up and she "hit him backwards against the stones, so the blood flowed over his head". When Hans Olsen came home, he had a hole in his head and his clothes were bloody. Otherwise, she is mentioned on several occasions in the court records.

    The property that Ole Gudfastesen and Apellone Nilsdatter Koch owned on Skagen was probably inherited by their daughter Sissel. Sissel was married twice, first to barber Albert Albertsen Libert, and the second time in 1700 to barber Ole Jacobsen Smith. The latter's brother, Hans Jacobsen Smith was previously married to Sissel's sarsterXirsten. In 1731, Sissel and Ole Jacobsen Smith's brother-in-law, Jens Abtahamsen Ploug, bought his parents-in-law's house on Skagen. The reason for the sale was that Ole Jacobsen Smith wanted to hide his two daughters' inheritance from their mother, Sissel. In this way, the old family property is transferred to the later SA known trading house Ploug & Sundt p5 Skagen.

    Kvitsoy was called Cruys Inlet (Korsoy) by the Dutch after a stone cross that was erected in early Christian times. The stone cross could be seen from a great distance by seafarers and eventually became an important seamark. During a trip from Stavanger to Amsterdam, Nils Olesen decided to become a Dutch sailor. His name became from now on completely Dutch in and rned that he wrote about Nils ti1 Cornelius and the family name ti1 Cruys after the stone cross on Kvitsoy.

    Cornelius Cruys career was founded on hard work and after his fifth trip in Ostersjsen he was hired by Baltazar van der Wort in Amsterdam. From then on, he had a rather tumultuous existence when, as a thief, he became chief mate of the East India liner "Prins Wilhelm", a "pinass" of well over 500 tons with 60 guns. Later, when the captain of "Prins Wilhelm" fell ill and died, Cornelius Cruys took over command. Cornelius Cruys was married some time later to Katarina Vooght, daughter of one of the directors of the East Indian Company, Jan Vooght. He continued his service as captain and after a while was appointed to war captain in the Dutch fleet. His closest superior was schoutbynacht (vice-admiral) Gilles Schey, second-in-command at the admiralty. Cruy's fifth mission was to ensure equipment after each new warship was completed. An English delegation, led by Admiral Herbert, came to the Netherlands and requested Prince William of Orange to come to England to save the country's religion and freedom. Cruys received orders for A dare flaten ready to sail. Without his connections in the East India Company, he would hardly have Wait A requisitioned all the necessary material.

    Among other things, Cruys and his wife were bridesmaids when the tsar got married, a very large zere which was only awarded to the most distinguished persons of rank. Cornelius Cruys distinguished himself several times during the Great Nordic War, especially during the Russian conquest of Viborg in 1710. When he lost a ship during the attack on Finland in 1713, he was sentenced to death, but acquitted. The Great Nordic War ended in 1721 and the Swedes had to resign forever. Russia, the provinces Livland, Estonia. Ingermanland, a more specific part of Karelia with Viborg and Kexholm counties. On 21 October 1721, the triumphal celebrations began in St. Petersburg. In the Russian Senate, Cornelius Cruys was appointed admiral, vice-president of the Admiralty College and baron of Kexholm County, as well as given the title Admiral of the flag.
