The muster rolls only show Erik's soldier name.


1764 June 11 Jonas Arvidsson, parish tailor, marries Elin Eriksdotter in Kånna Arvidsgård. Their first child 1764 is named Arvid (no doubt after his father). Their second child 1766 is named Karin (possibly after Elin's mother?), and their third child 1769 is named Måns (Elin's maternal grandfather?). That would be following traditional naming rules. I have not followed the names of Jonas parents/grandparents.


A wife Karin Månsdotter in Kånna Arvidsgård is witness at some christenings 1743-ish.


There might be more clues like that, or of course in the legal documents but then you will have to go through maybe thousands of pages with old writing, if they are att all digitalized yet.
