Hello Mark!
Apparently you are using SVAR. If so, you can follow Johan's military career in the General Muster Rolls (Generalmönsterrullor (GMR)). These are available from the swedish version of the site. I've found the following information: Enlisted September 17th 1754 at the age of 18, i.e. he was probably born 1736. He was enlisted as No. 23 of the Major's Company (after 1775 called Premier Major's Company) in Smålands Cavalry Regiment in Hags Rote (File?) in Hjälmseryd parish (I think). December 19th 1768 he was transferred to No 117 of the same Company in Skärbäcks Rote in Ramkvilla parish. In the spring of 1790 he and many others were commanded for duty in Stockholm where he died of sickness July 26th 1790. His length was 5' 11 (Swedish. Equals 5' 9 imperial)
