• Notes

  The founder of the Magnus Family is probably Captain Heinrich Magnus, from Lübeck. In Bergen's town records, dated 6/19/1633, there is a receipt signed by a Captain Hendrich Magnus "the old one" from Lübeck, Germany. An article "Skuter fra Ryfylke", written by a "Ingvar Molaug" quotes a Colonel August Magnus and his brother Ingolf as saying that the Magnus family originated in Holland and the entire family went back to Holland except for one member who was a Priest in Finnøy, Norway. This probably refers to Christian Magnus, born 1 Nov 1733. In Stavanger's town records exists a statement: "5/11/1637 Captain Heinrich Magnus, from Lübeck, sailed the ship 'Salvator'". On 5/7/1643 he had been to Bergen with a sailship. Hendrich Magnus, Captain 2nd Sand/Hordland Company, attached to a regiment from Bergen, most probably a son of Heinrich Magnus. A royal commission license, from the records of a Jens Bjelke's dated 12/29/1657, shows that he was stationed in Trondheim in Nov 1657. During March and April 1658, he went with his company to Røras, where they chased a Swedish Regiment. Stavanger records, dated 11/28/1658, show "arrived in Bergen with Captain Magnus and all the soldiers that were discharged". On 10/13/1659 his company received new uniforms and then went by rental boats to Lærdal and then marched over the mountains to Kristiania. From there to Halden, where they fought and captured a Swedish camp in 1660. There were only 67 men alive after the battle. These notes were taken from Wahl: "the old House of Bergen Regiment History". Then his name dissappears from the military records. His company is led by a Captain von Walnitz, in 1662, and a short time thereafter by a Pitter Normann. In the Church of Kors "Book of History" there is mentioned a Major Magnus, born 10/14/1622, died 5/18/1694. It has been impossible to identify this person as Captain Magnus. There is a possibility that Captain Magnus went into foreign service at which time he was promoted to Major. (In Y. Nielsen's book: "The Battle of Trondheim, 1657 -1660", page 150, there is mentioned a Lieutenant Magnus who led a regiment of 16 men and a bugler. On 1/171659 12 new men reported and were sent south.) Sons: 1. Hindrich Magnus, custom house records show he was buried 3/25/1709 in the New Church. (In Bergen records it is mentioned that Johan Herman Brynning's wife's half brother Christian Magnus, Henrik Magnus imprisoned in Dunkerque. Brother Frantz Henriksen Magnus' children: Henrik Frantzen Magnus in Vlissingen. Ahasverus Magnus is living in Trondheim in 1696.) 2. Ahasverus Magnus lived in Trondheim in 1696. 3. Christian Magnus buried 4/21/1730 in the New Church. He was married twice: a. Margrethe Andersdtr Rask, buried 7/24/1695. b. Catharina Simons from Amsterdam. Buried 4/3/1730 in the New Church.
