Titel: Need help with 1716 and 1717 muster roll
Skrivet av: Victoria Cihla skrivet 2020-07-22, 21:54
Attached is a the 1716 GMR for Måns Andersson Weckman/Beckman. (Måns is listed on the Centrala Soldatregistret with both of these names): http://soldat.elektronikhuset.it/dbrecord.sv.aspx?id=28893
I can understand the easier things, such as: Rote: Tommaryd Name: Corp Måns Andersson (B)eckman Soldier Nr: 94 Age: 30 Years in Service: 7 Province: Smaland
It looks like there are two additional columns: one describing the equipment he was provided and the other contains general notes. Only the first of these is filled in.
Was he an infantryman? Does this describe the equipment he received/had?
Just looking at the two records you can see where the Weckman/Beckman came from.
It follows the same format as previous year but, again, I can understand the easier things, such as: Rote: Tommaryd Name: Corp Måns Andersson Weckman Soldier Nr: 93 (this changed from 94 the previous year) Age: 31 Years in Service: 8 Province: Smaland
The notes seem again to mention his equipment but I cannot tell if there is anything else.
I have followed Måns Andersson from Torpa parish to Hinneryd and subsequently back to Torpa. The 1717-1722 Torpa household records noted that he moved to Hinneryd parish. I have followed him in the tax records in those places from 1717 to 1744 when his farm was eventually taken over by his son-in-law. :) Great fun! This one is for sure my soldier!
Now I'm hoping to learn about his military service. Any help from anyone who can help me to understand more about his life in the military would be really appreciated.
