Hej! Jag har en fråga om Peter Larsson Koch som föddes i Bångsta, Turinge, 1610. Har sökt på nätet och hittat bl.a det här: Peter Larsson Cock (Kock), involuntary emigrant. Was held in Smedjegård prison at Stockholm waiting for the sailing of the ship Charitas. Planting tobacco at the Schuylkill River in 1644. Later became freeman. Married Margaret Helme, daughter of Israel Helme. Peter Cock became one of the leaders in the Finnish colony after the downfall of the Swedish rule and was the most influential man on the Delaware River at the arrival of William Penn. He had six sons and six daughters and his family had branched in1693 into forty-seven persons, bearing the name of Cock, besides the children of the daughters. Peter Cock died in 1688, in great prosperity. Någon som har forskat på Peter Larsson Kock (olika stavningar förekommer, blir Cox i Amerika). Svenskt el. finskt ursprung, anledning till emigration?
Frågan kanske är felplacerad (finns inga tidiga register i Turinge, vad jag kan se) men jag börjar här.
