Cornelia Moldrup

Stammoder til den ældre gren af slægten Rothe i Danmark.

Vedr. navn: Opkaldt efter Cornelia Bichers g.m. Joachim Irgens, den tidligere ejer af Vestervig Kloster. Cornelia Bichers er datter af borgmester i Amsterdam Dr. Andries Bicker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andries_Bicker) og Catharina Tengnagel. Man finder dog ikke navnet "Bichers" ved hendes dåb, kun "Cornelia", eller ved hendes bryllup "jomfru Cornelia Mollerup". Slægten forandrede efternavnet fra Mollerup til Moldrup og på stikket angives hendes navn som "Cornelia Rothe født Moldrup". Aht. konsistens bør efternavnet "Moldrup" foretrækkes for efterkommere af Peder Nielsen Mollerup.

Patriciske Slægter, Vol 1, p.258, gives her name as "Cornelia Bekkers Molderup". It is debatable whether "Bichers", "Bicker" or "Bekkers" should be mentioned at all. She was named after Cornelia Bichers married to the previous owner of Vestervig Kloster Joachim Irgens. She was the daughter of the mayor and regent of Amsterdam Andries Bicker. "Bichers/Bekkers" is not mentioned at her christening "Cornelia" or at her marriage "jomfru Cornelia Mollerup". One print names her "Cornelia Rothe born Moldrup". Peder Nielsen (her father) took the name Mollerup after the village where he was born and was always signing letters etc. as "Peder Nielsen Mollerup". After 1731 all his descendants have used the name "Moldrup". For the sake of consistency "Moldrup" is preferable.
