Vicki,

Yes you understand correctly, the mother had asked her brother, Magnus, to be the guardian of her only surviving child. A guardian, I believe would have had to be confirmed in a document - some of them are preserved but I'm not sure where, possibly in another court decision - and he would no doubt have been responsible for taking care of the child's economy, arranging for his upbringing whether it was at his own home or if he arranged that with somebody else or at a school somewhere. That would have lasted until he was of age to manage his own affairs. In this case he was already in military service before 1772.
