Anders Moss
Anders Moss was a kjøbmand, a merchant, at Kongsberg. Kongsberg was the town of the royal silver works, and its merchants lived among the officers who ran the mines.
He was buried at Kongsberg on 31 December 1750. The clerk wrote "Kiøbmanden Anders Moss, gl. 55 aar", the merchant Anders Moss, aged fifty-five, and noted that the bells were rung for him. That puts his birth about 1695. Where he was born and who his parents were is not known.
His wife was Anne Malene. The probate court of the town bailiff registered his estate on 26 January 1751 and closed it on 17 February. The heirs were the widow and four children. Iens was twelve and Hendrich seven. Christine Maria had been confirmed in 1749. Anne Maria, the eldest, was entered as engaged to Captain Iens E. Kraft of the Telemark infantry.
The men at the probate show the family's circle. Hans Caspar Viebach, an oberstiger, a senior officer of the mines, came as svoger, brother-in-law. Anders Jensen Berggraw came as lagverge, the guardian a widow needed to act in law, and he was also a brother-in-law. Second Lieutenant D. Mørch and a second oberstiger, Iust Former, were there as well.
Two days after the estate was registered, Anne Maria married the captain at home, by royal dispensation. Her first child, born in 1752, was christened Magdalena Andrea, for her grandmother Malene and her grandfather Anders.
