Hagerup was born in the city of Kristiansand in Lister og Mandals amt, Norway. He was the son of Bishop Eiler (Kongel) Hagerup (b. 1718) and Edvardine Magdalene Margarethe Christie (b. 1755).

==Personal life== He was married to Ingeborg Janson (1786–1849), daughter of estate owner, merchant and court agent, Herman Didrik Jansen. His father-in-law considered Hagerup the most likely custodian of his vast fortune and financed the transport of representatives from Bergen to Eidsvoll during 1814. Hagerup died an extremely wealthy man. Eight of his nine children lived to maturity. He was the grandfather of both the composer Edvard Hagerup Grieg (b. 1843) and his wife (Grieg's cousin) Nina Hagerup (b. 1845).
