his father: Klement Andersen Munk (1421-1453)
his mother: Anne Pallesdatter Kirt (1430-1450)
 

Anders Munk was apparently a peasant farmer who owned Vedstedgaard.  This may have been one of the reasons that his son, "Skipper Clement" was so supportive of the peasant up-rising.   This house was probably added onto and remodeled numerous times before this photo was taken in 1937.

In 1470 a document lists Anders Munk in Latin translated to Danish that he had property on Saltum and Aaby parish.  [My Heritage by Bliesmann]

Most of the research here was done by Kent Christofferson from Danish church records as posted on MyHeritage.com in 2016. 

According to the Roskilde History site "Kjærulf family lived for 250 years at Fogedgård in Øster Halne and were often chief men in Kær" This is in Vadum, Kjaer Herred. [Roskilde]

The Kjearulf name I suspected was some kind of minor nobility.   The crests for both families here found in the records of the Roskilde Cathedral, Roskilde, Denmark.  This seems to be confirmed by a Danish source translated here by Google:

On the sources said Peder Dyrskjøt believe that Kjærulf were of noble lineage - specific denotes scions of the Enlightenment of the ancient Holstein noble family Wolff. Klitgård claims he has never seen genus betegret as "weapons" - i.e. noble, but this is to say that Anders Kjærulf's great grandson Bertel Jensen Kjærulf in 1529 was the owner of a farm that those years were included to the crown because it was "schuret in Fall" (ie delinquent because of neglect of ledingspligten) and ledingspligt incumbent only people "of weapons", as the noble origin, seems safe enough.

The Swedish personal historian, Gabriel Anrep, researcher about this family in its "Attor Taflor" II, the genus comes from Holstein, where it already existed  from 1300 and must have held the highest ecclesiastics of secular offices. Around 1400 the family came to Denmark with Anders Ulff who settled in Kjaer herred (father of 62-9). Erik of Pomerania let him be introduced into the Danish nobility under the name Kjærulf and with a walking, gray wolf as weapons.

AAK's farm - bailiff farm - was for centuries in the family.
