Edvard Hagerup for a third time. From 1834 to 1852 he served as County Governor of "Søndre Bergenhus amt" (now Hordaland). He was married to Ingeborg Janson (1786–1849), daughter of estate owner, merchant and court agent, Herman Didrik Jansen. His father-in-law saw in Hagerup the most likely custodian of his vast fortune and financed the transport of representatives from Bergen to Eidsvoll in 1814. Hagerup died an extremely wealthy man. Eight of nine children lived to maturity. He was the grandfather of both the composer Edvard Hagerup Grieg (b. 1843) and his wife Nina Hagerup (b. 1845). Edvard Hagerup Edvard Eilersen Hagerup
