Hi John,
Thank you for your reply. From that perspective it makes sense. Maybe if I can find the estate inventory record from Lisa's previous marriage, it could help shed more light. Since Per and Lisa were married in 1765 and Per became a soldier in 1777, then moved, it would seem he and Lisa were not able to hold on to the farm. From what I understand about some my ancestors in Sweden, they were at times very poor. They lived in the Östmark, Gräsmark, Gunnarskog parish areas of Värmland.
