Hello again Vicki,

Quite an interesting and detailed inventory don't you think?

The inventory was made on 8th of Nov 1762, but it was only legally registered at the Sunnerbo court on Oct 25th 1763. Present in Abbeshult in Wrå parish were Anna Pärsdotter, Lars' wife, his oldest son Jöran Larsson in Abbeshult, now 21 years of age and therefore probably of age to be his own guardian, but on his behalf anyway the inn keeper Samuel Pärsson in Skeen; the younger son Anders Larsson in his 14th year, with his guardians and 2 uncles (father's brothers) according the widow, i.e. the dannemannen wälförståndige (well established sensible...) Johan Jöransson in Marsiö, and Jon Jöransson in Annerstad Byagård; thereafter the widow Anna Pärsdotter mentioned that she was not quite sure, but believed she was pregnant which proved to be correct when she delivered her youngest son Lars Larsson in 1763 on July 2nd, whose guardian was honnest and reliable danneman Swen Johansson in Bierseryd. The inventory was listed by the widow and the eldest son.

On the last page you can see the roles they played - to the left the names of those who carried out the inventory, to the right the family members and their guardians.

To the left:
Inventory and division made on request by Hans M: Östbergh, priest in Wrå
Pär Månsson in Bierseryd, evaluation
Witnesses:
Nils Jöransson in Ljunghult, member of local court
Nils Pärsson in Singshult
Nils Nilsson in Annerstad, the deceased man's brother in law.

To the right:
Anna Pärsdotter in Abbeshult, Mother and Widow
Jöran Larsson, eldest son
Samuel Persson in Skien, guardian for the eldest son at the inventory
Johan Jöransson in Marsiö, local court member
Jon Jöransson in Andersta, guardian for the younger son
Suän Johansson in Biärsery, guardian for the youngest son, Lars Larsson.

I would think that they probably made the listing on said date, but waited with the completion and registration of the document until they were sure that Anna was having another child and a guardian could be named for him, thus the late registration date.
