Thanks for that information!
Here is the correction:
I looked at the tax records for Hinneryd but did not find him. I reviewed the tax records I had for him and noticed something interesting. This is a recap.
Beginning with the first tax record in Torpa he is listed as follows:
1749 Norrtorpa Mellang, Torpa Tor Nilsson Ryttare https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840180?image=1700&page=327 1750 Norrtorpa Mellang, Torpa Tor Nilsson Ryttare https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840181c?image=2640&page=515 1751 Norrtorpa Mellang, Torpa Tor Nilsson Ryttare https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840182c?image=2850&page=551 1752 Norrtorpa Mellang, Torpa Tor Nilsson Ryttare https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840183c?image=2830&page=553 1754 Norrtorpa Mellang, Torpa Tor Nilsson https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840185?image=3220&page=633 1755 Norrtorpa Mellang, Torpa Tor Nilsson https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840186?image=3180&page=625 1756 Norrtorpa Mellang, Torpa Tor Nilsson Ryttare https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840187?image=3300&page=647 1757 Norrtorpa Mellang, Torpa Tor Nilsson Ryttare https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840188?image=3260&page=631 1758 Norrtorpa Mellang, Torpa Tor Forsberg Ryttare https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840189a?image=3500&page=685 1759 Norrtorpa Mellang, Torpa Tor Forsberg Ryttare https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840190?image=3040&page=591 1760 NorrtorpaMellang, Torpa Tor Forsberg Ryttare https://app.arkivdigital.se/volume/v840191a?image=3530&page=681 No more tax records for him after 1760.
So, if he was listed as a Ryttare at least from 1749 to 1752, shouldn't there be a record for that time also? I believe he was living in Annerstad before that so I'll have to check to see if he was listed even earlier. But, even so, it appears he was using his patronymic name. I'll look further to see if there's anything else I can find out about his military time.
Update: I'm still looking for where Tor Nilsson was living prior to Norrtorpa Mellang. His first child, Jöns, was born in Grimshult, Annerstad in 1744, which is where his mother is from.
Thanks again for your help,
