Victoria, I think you are on the right track. Lars Persson get married 1/1 1744, with the widow Elin Bengtsdotter. Lars are from Groeryd in Torpa parish, Elin is from Emboda (Emmeboda) in Vrå. Elin Bengtsdotter died in June 1767 (buried 28:th of June). The death record says that Elin is 76 years old! (born approx. 1691). Than Lars get married 28:th of December 1767 to Kerstin Eriksdotter, from Ljunghult in Vrå. Both has been married before. Than they get six (?) children, all born in Norra (North) Emmeboda. I think you are right that Lars was born in Torpa as son to the soldier Per Groberg. 15:th of July 1721. His first marriage with an older widow, was a common way for a young man to get a farm.
