- Peder Kofoed is mentioned in records dating from 1570 through 1575. On December 4, 1570 "Peder Kofoed til Kyndegaard in N?kker Sogn", issued from Hammershus legal evidence in the Chief Justice's place. On 6 September 1572 he was among the group of 17 men who met with the Royal Commissioners, who came to Bornholm to examine the claims to Freeman status. And on October 18, 1575 he participated in a boundary establishment in Nyker parish. He is thought to have died before 1583.
On a chalice given to the church in R?nne in 1569 can be found the estate mark (Bom?rk) "P.K. 69"; which is probably that of this Peder Kofoed, given his family connections to R?nne (i.e. he was born there, and his father was the town's mayor). Kyndeg?rd, which is classified as a "frig?rd", later called a "proprietair" farm, the highest of the three classes of farms: Proprietairg?rd (Propr.), Selvejerg?rd (Slg.) and Vornedeg?rd (Vdg.).
