Not much is known about Jochum Brinch Lund's early years, just that he was overseas for a short period, working with his father's business relations in United Kingdom and France, and that he sailed as skipper a couple summer seasons.
Lund was also one of the main benefactors behind the construction of Frelseren Church, consecrated 5 May 1785.
[1] He started many businesses and enterprises, and because of that Farsund got town status on 28 January 1795.
[2] It was also around this time that he had built a large merchant house, which today is called Husan.
[3] But at the start of the Gunboat War the businesses went downhill and Lund died 16 September 1807.
