1. Bonde = farmer, not necessarily a farm-owner.
Hemmans-ägare = farm-owner
2. Arrendator = tenant farmer, he leased a farm.
Torpare = poor tenant farmer, crofter. He leased a small piece of a land on the properties of a larger farm, paying the rent by working a set number of days on the main farm.
3. Frälsefogde = a farm manager (bailiff, steward) on a noble-owned farm.
4. Sockenman = perhaps slightly different meanings at different times and places? But the basic meaning is man of the parish.
5. Dräng = the basic meaning is young man or a man in junior position. On a farm a farmhand, in industry perhaps a laborer or assistant to a craftsman. In marriage records it usually means bachelor, and a farmhand is often called tjänstedräng (employed farmhand).
Statdräng (or statare), farm worker (usually marrried) who received part of his pay in kind.
Stalldräng = dräng working in a stable, stable hand.
