| 释义 |
He was born at the village of Nedenes in Øyestad (now Arendal) in Aust-Agder, Norway. He attended the Bergen Cathedral School. By 1682, he was enrolled as skipper in the service of the Danish King. He settled in Mandal in Vest-Agder during 1687, where he married Karen Mortensdatter Als (1666-1743), daughter of Morten Mortensen Als(d. 1691), the leading merchant of the town.[2] After the death of his father-in-law in 1691, Christensen took over the business and became the dominant merchant in Mandal. He greatly expanded by establishing himself as a merchant and shipowner in Kristiansand. During the Great Northern War (1700-1721), he controlled large parts of the timber trade from the valley of Mandalen. He also continued in a few more years to sail as skipper on his own ships. As the dominant employer, merchant, creditor and landowner in Mandal, he ran the small town almost like a business. Christensen owned property both in Mandal and Kristiansand. He held several farms, several with salmon fishing rights, including Halshaug gård in Vest-Agder which was located at the mouth of river Mandalselva.[3] References1. ^{{cite encyclopedia|title=Tørres Christensen |first= |last= |encyclopedia=Store norske leksikon |editor-last=Godal | editor-first=Anne Marit | editor-link=Anne Marit Godal |publisher=Norsk nettleksikon |location=Oslo |url=http://www.snl.no/Tørres_Christensen |language=Norwegian|accessdate=25 August 2012}} 2. ^{{cite encyclopedia|title=Tørres Christensen |encyclopedia=Norsk biografisk leksikon|first=Finn-Einar |last=Eliassen |authorlink= |editor=Helle, Knut|publisher=Kunnskapsforlaget |location=Oslo |url=http://snl.no/.nbl_biografi/Tørres_Christensen/utdypning |language=Norwegian |accessdate=25 August 2012}} 3. ^{{cite web|url= https://lokalhistoriewiki.no/index.php/Fil:Halse,_Halshaug_g%C3%A5rd,_Vest-Agder_-_Riksantikvaren-T205_01_0195.jpg|title= Halshaug gård, Vest-Agder|publisher= lokalhistoriewiki.no|accessdate= July 5, 2016}} Other sources
