Hello Birgitta, nice sleuthing I have been rechecking and getting my notes in better order. This is all pretty much new information for me. I certainly have a couple of mysteries. to summarize,
I had come across the Nils Anderson (NA1767) you mentioned in Husförhörslängd AI:2 1810-19 page 263 Vissefjerdä parish, Klippingsbo Roten, Klippingsbo Ostgard: bond widow nils andersson 1767 dottter brita stina 1806 kyrkobe brnk peter nilsson 22/2 1796 not finding births 1796 pig cajsa nilsdotter 1792/8 pig maria nilsdotter 1789 dotter christina illeg 1812 crossed out
I have not been able to find him in AI:1.
The NA1767 birthdate 1767 is consistent with the son of Anders Pehrsson and Kirstin Larsdotter, born Skalfangen. The daughter Brita Stina 1806 Kyrkobe is close to the Brita Stina daughter of Nils Anderson (NA1) husband of Annika Olofsdotter born 1805 but wrong birthplace, in C:2 below she is born in Skalfangen???
I checked Husförhörslängd AI:1 and SödraMöreHäradsfögderi Backabo 1803/9. There is only the family of NA1 by the fairly consistent list of children and their birthdates. No NA1767.
Are the priests getting these two Nils Anderssons mixed up? Perhaps both sons of an Anders Pehrsson/Persson? The locations seem to be pretty much all central Vissefjerdä . There is a death record Backabo 1815 below for a Nils Andersson and the NA1767 goes on to marry again and is also mentioned in his fathers probate 1818 FIIi:21 529. I can't read where he is located at the time, maybe H something?. It seems possible both are in the Skalsfangen/ Backabo area at the same time early 1800s.
I don't think we have identifed NL1 besides being the father of Olaus Nilsson and husband of Annika Olofsdotter. She does appear to be the daugthter of Olof Persson and Stina Svensdotter. The witnesses for Olaus Nilssons christening are old friends of the family from Cammarbo, as well as the history of his upbringing. The date of birth is Aug 1808 and born in (oddly) Klippingsbo,
Of course there are still other possibilites, probably many, such as
Vissefjärda C:2 1736-1810 page 210: 1755 nov 9 Anders Persson child Nils (Sindegult crossed out) in Andersmala godfather James Barnugsson in Linnbo wife Karin in Perqimala .
I have also been researching an Anders Persson in SödraMöreHäradsfögderi FIaa Raisingen going back to 1729. He is not married in 1755 but his eventual family doesn't seem to be fully identifed. There is a Peter Andersson who takes over the croft and possibly sons Andreas 1770 and Matts 1781 and daughter Malin. So far no Nils.
Vissefjärda C:3 1810-1837 page 577 deaths 1815 Nov 4 unemployed hand and almosehjonel/almsman Nils Andersson in Backabo af slaget ? stroke age 60 (1755)

Vissefjärda C:2 1736-1810 page 511 Feb 6, 1801 Nils Anderssons son in Fangen ? Tangen Andreas with Annika Olofsdotte KA Seems to become Peter SödraMöreHäradsfögderi
page 837 Jan 2 probably 1803 bond Nils Andersson wife Annika Olofsdotter in Klippingsbo son Nicolaus baptised godfather Jonas Svensson in Klippingsbo wife Cajsa same 24 KA Seems to become Andreas in the Husförhörslängd
page 819 Jan 29,1805 Nils Andersson wife Annika Olofsdotter daughter Brita Stina in Skalsfangen baptised godfather David Flyberg Shorstorp wife Lena Stina Olofsdotter Cammarbo 30 KA Annikas sister
Page109 August 16,1808 Nils Anderson with wife Annika Olofsdotter in Klippingsbo son Olaus godfather Lars Persson Cammarbo wife Brita Stina Olofsdotter same 36 KA neighbors of Annikas family
Unfortunately the birth and death records this period poor.
Olaus Nilsson does not show up Husförhörslängd and SödraMöreHäradsfögderi with his family but does show up daughters son of her parents and raised by maternal inlaws. He always lists his birth as Vissefjerda or Cammarbo and never Backabo or Klippingsbo. The date does seem to vary as if he isn't sure, 1808 or 1809.
Annika disapears 1809 following presumably the death of her older children. Her husband probably dies alone 1815 in Backabo no Husförhörslängd AI:2 record. She reappears in Cammarbo with the death of her brother in laws second companion. It would appear to care for her mother. She clearly has kept in touch with the family. Olaus is with his maternal relations until about the time of his mothers return. He has his first marriage about 1830 and is living in Forlangso with his wife and a child. It seems he doesn't return to Cammarbo to help his mother.
So two knotty mysteries, who is NL1 the son of and what happens to Annika between 1809 and 1832?
Keith!
This is a mystery!! Nils Andersson was born in Skälstången/Tången 1767-08-12, son of Anders Pehrsson and Kirstin Larsdotter. He is mentioned in the State inventory after his mother who died in dec 1804. Konga häradsrätt FII:15 page 413. It says that her son Nils Andersson lives in Bockabo. You have already read AI:1 page 398 where Nils with wife Annika and children Andreas and Brita Stina are. The son Nicolaus died in 1804. But to the mystery! 1821-09-29 Nils got married to Kajsa Petersdotter. He´s then a widower. And Annika is said to be a widow! How to explain that? When Nils Andersson died in Medlen 1837-06-02 he lived in Medlen and his birth date you can se in AI:6 page 166. You have a lot to think about.
