Soren Hermansen's 1st Brother: Jens

Birth, Vindum parish register, page 156. Herman Jensen Faurup has a son Jens born on 1 p trinitas or June 16, 1754. Of the witnesses I can make out some names: Dorthe ? of Faurup, Laurits Jensen(?), ? Hermansen all of Faurup. This was the first child I know of born to Herman Jensen.

Confirmation, Vindum parish register, page 19. Herman Jensen's Son Jens of "W" (Vindum) was confirmed in 1772. He was around 18 years old at them time. This is the last I can find of Jens Hermansen. The next census in 1787 shows a Jens Hermansen living in Vium parish and is 31 years old. I can only assume this is Jens but cannot be sure. The next census is in 1801 and he is not listed in Viborg or the surrounding counties.
