Mads was born mid Oct and mid Nov 1783.
He is the son of Maren Ericksdatter. Only the fathers first name Mads is know from the birth records as Maren was not married at the time of his birth.
The only other record we have at this point is the 1787 census from Ullerslev, Avnede where she was working as a servant and her 4 year old son is shown as Mads Madsen.
