Middle name appears to have come from his maternal grandmother. In some sources it is rendered as “Høeg”.

Note re: family of origin: This was the only family with a Peder Laursen Bastrup (of the right age) found on the 1787 census in Skanderborg, which is where Peder Laursen Bastrup reported himself as being born in the 1845 Census (Horn, Tvilum).

There is another Peder Laursen age 1 in 1787, also living in Lauen, Linå, Gjern, parents Lauritz Rasmusen and Anne Andersdatter. It would be unlikely that our Peder would pick up the surname Bastrup if he was from this family. Our Peder is referred to as Bastrup on all adult census documents as well as in all the christening records of his children.
