Tüchsen's family graveyard, Copenhagen, St. Petri Kirke. |
Tüchsen have roots in the small city Højer (Høyer / Höyer / Hoyer) in Schleswig (Sønder Jylland), written about in Pontopidans Atlas as "a dot ashore the coast of Vesterhavet, one mile (10 km) west of Tönder." Same editor write: "The trade is unimportant, but farming and cattle breeding are impressive. In the parish the language is Danish and also in the churches."
The city Højer had its own "Birk", and "Herredsfoged" in Højer also was "Birkefoged" together with 8 of him appointed "Raadmænd", As you see later in the book, several Tüchsen have been Raadmand.
The oldest certain Tüchsen (in Højer) is "Raadmand" and resident in Højer, Moritz Tüchsen, possibly son of resident same place Tyge Andersen, according to the church records. He married a 50 years old widow 1680 August 8. She been buried 1690 July 13. (61 years old), in the church book she is called Margreth.
Tyge Andersen married 2. Margrethe Fedders, daughter of late Fedder Hansen in Tönder, and they had the cildren:
- Andres, born 1694 May 17.
- Peter, 1698 January 26. Buried same year January 30.
- Fedder, born 1698 January 26. Buried same year February 13.
- Schwennich, born 1701 June 24.
The church book goes to the year 1701, and continue first in 1734, and it is not possible in this source to find the father of Moritz Tüchsen - but he must been born 1706, because he died 1775 May 68 years and 32 weeks old.
Højer Kogs "Teichbuch" tells us that landowners was:
| 1725 | 1737 | |

Moritz Tüchsen (son?) Hans Boyesen (son?) Ehm Tüchsen Boh Nissen (son?) |
Moritz Tüchsen, born 1706, was „Raadmand" and resident in Højer. Died 1775.
