- Jacob Christensen Klinte was born circa 1618 in Klinte, Gotland (then Denmark, now Sweden). He was put in office on August 17, 1679 and died on May 30, 1700, according to Wiberg, who quotes some not mentioned source (unfortunately) that he died of an accident "en Uforsigtighed afbr?d hands Livstraad" but what it was he doesn't say.
Jacob was a student in Slagelse in 1641, and immatriculated in 1643 in Rostock, Germany (as Jacobus Christierni Klintensis Scanus) (wonder where the "Scanus" (Sk?ne) in his name came from, maybe he was immatruculated from Lund?). Interestingly, he married his first wife the same year (in 1643) that he went to Rostock (very unusual for students to get married - even though he was not among the youngest of students, he was 23 when he graduated). He only studied in Germany for 3 years and must have achieved a Bacceleurate (Bachelor degree), he became the rector and residing "kapellan" (curate) at the Nysted Latin School and church (in Lolland) on June 6, 1646, ordained on June 7th that same year. In 1650 he was a "Feltpr?st" (army chaplain) and on March 16, 1656 he was given a parish - he became the clergyman for S?der? parish in the F?roe Islands. On August 17, 1679 he was transferred to the larger parish of ?ster? and was made "Provst" (Dean) at the same time. He was created a "Magister" in 1691. He "var altid a lystig Humeur, dygtig Latiner og Poet" (was always of jovial humor, skilful in Latin and Poetry) according to Wiberg (vol. IV, p. 6).
Jacob Christensen Klinte was married in in 1643 to Karen Christensdatter. She died, according to a tombstone, on the April 7, 1660 at the age of only 32 (born circa 1628), she died in Hvalb? in S?der? island parish during childbirth with her daughter Maren. She was married when she was only 15 years old. According to Wiberg they had two sons and one daugther, only "Thomas Jacobsen Tarnov" in Pedersker is mentioned, and the daughter Maren (born on April 7, 1660 - died December 24, 1728) - she married her fathers successor Anders Knudsen Lemvig (Andreas Lymvicus).
Jacob Christensen Klinte married a second time in 1665 in Thorshavn to Rebecca Hansdatter, a daughter of Hans Rasmussen, the clergyman for Sydstr?m?, and his wife Anna Rasmusdatter. According to Wiberg she had one son, no name is mentioned.
In the series pastorum (of the F?r?erne) by the clergyman Christen Jensen Djurhuus, written in 1759 (he was the clergyman to ?ster? after Anders Lemvig, the son-in-law of Jacob Christensen Klinte), original in the Rigsarkivets H?ndskriftssamling (Afd. XIV,C). There is a transcript by Erik Reinert Nielsen, 2003.
"Series pastorum" by Christen Jensen Djurhuus, written 1759:
Folio 2: I Om Sogne Pr?sterne i Suder?e-Pr?stegield der var den...
...6. Hr. Jacob Klinte f?ed udi Scaane, hvis f?rste hustrue var af T?sk Nation; hendes liigsteen ligger paa Hvalb?e-Kirkes-Alter foed, som er en Raritet her i landet; Han havde engang n?r kommet til skade ved et uforsigtigt skud, han aff?rede i Fam?en; Han var Lucas Debes meget til hielp i den F?r?ske beskrivelse og derfor skrev ham latinske ?re-vers i den; Hans Sogne Pr?stelige aar her var 22, og erholdt translocation eller forfl?ttelse 1680 til ?ster?e Kald.
Folio 8-8r: VI. Om ?ster?e-Pr?stegields Sogne-Pr?ster; af dem er den. . . Mag. Hr Jacob Klinte, forhen Suderingernis Sogne-Pr?st; han kom hertil 1679 toeg Magister-Graden 1691 og d?de 1700 af de hand holdt sit vand for l?nge hos sig i et selskab.
Fol. 10 &-11r: VIII. Om de F?r?eske Land-Provster siden Reformationen. Den Store Guds Mand Biskop Hr. Jens Riber var her i landet residererde Lutherske Biskop 18 aar, og [hand plantede luth. Relig.] der dens Biskop blev forfl?t 1556, blev dette lidet Bispe-d?mme nedsat til et land-Provstie; de f?r?ske Prov- ster (som [ ]her kalder og officiales, land-Provster, Relogions Provster, ) har siden bemeldte tiid v?ret f?lgende: . . . 10. Mag. Hr. Jacob Klinte paa ?ster?e; Hand underskrev det gave brev, hvorudi S?ren lavessen Fohrman borger i Ki?benhavn gav til Thorshavns Kirke 1 mark jord udi Schu?e for sin Stifs?ns begravelse i Kirken, dateret d. 20 Martii 1682; det formeldte pr?bende altaris Wilhelmi er mage-skiftet og der for igien givet til F?r?e-latinske Skole Blaustr?d og L?ngb?e Kirker efter Kongebrev af 1 Aug. 1688; Hr. Klinte forestoed det Provstelige Embede 21 aar, indtil Hand d?de.
So if this is correct then Jacob died from going to a party and not emptying his bladder when he should have - Wiberg was apparently too polite to mention it. The other entry states that he was born in Sk?ne (which explains his name when he entered Rostock University) but it also means that his father Christen was in Lund in 1618, probably studying there or as "h?rer", etc. In 1624 he must have gone back in Gotland (unless he just paid for the epitaph but was living elsewhere?) and in 1625 went to K?benhavn. It says that Jacob's first wife Karen was from Germany - so there is a good possibility that the "German" wife of Thomas "Karen Tarnovius" is really a mix-up with "Karen Jacob Klintes" who was German.
It is likely that the name "Tarnovius" came through Thomas' mother. Aage Dahl is likely wrong in assuming that Thomas Jacobsen Tarnovius got his name from Tarn?, as that place in S?der? was known as Tv?r?ya - it wasn't called Tarn? in old Danish but rather Tv?r?; but it's difficult to guess at how it would be Latinized, but I think the name coming from the mother is plausible. Besides, most students who came from the F?roe Islands were called Feroengis, Feroiengius, etc. and only in the F?roe islands were they given names like Waag?, S?der?, etc. the same way as on Bornholm someone could be called Nyker or Aaker, but outside of Bornholm they would be called Borringius, Borringholmiensis, etc. And since Thomas' parents most likely met in Rostock - where the Tarnovius family resided - then it is most likely that Tarnovius was her family name. A professor in Rostock was named Paul Tarnovius, he was a theologian, and his nephew (brother's son) Johannes was also a theologian who was educated in Rostock. I don't know if it's possible to find a connection between them and Karen Christensdatter.
