The center line is the draft record for Christian Otto Jepsen. He is a younger brother of JP Jepsen. Chris was born in 1844 and JP was born in 1841.JP's record was not available. In essence it provides the following information. His name, birthplace, Stollig, and the draft board's success or lack ofit when they tried to draft him. According to the information, I received, The Draft board tries to locate and draft a person starting when he is 22. If they fail the first year, they try for two more years. In Chris's case, he became 22 in 1866. They failed to locate him that year or in 1867. Then they apparently learned in 1868 that he had gone to America. This information is contained on the right half of the page above. The information is important because it's generally believed that Chris and JP were close and traveled together. For example, in 1874, they married sisters in the Lojt-Kirkeby Church in a joint ceramony. So this draft record tends to discount the theory that they were in the Danish Navy, and it might indicate when they actually went to America, perhaps in the 1867-68 period.There's some other evidence that JP was still in Denmark in 1860 because according to his marriage records, he was confirmed in Lojt-Kirkeby in 1860. But none of this is conclusive as is obvious. It also tends to discount the speculation that they attended the Lincoln's innauguration, at least for the Danish Navy, or that they were in the US in 1858 which is what they reported on the US census records.
