Titel: SV: Johan Eric Hammar, kronolänsman
Skrivet av: Kalle Birgersson skrivet 2021-05-18, 22:34: Maybe he was born out of wedlock by some poor young woman, not in the birth record for some reason. A lot of children is missing from the records, that wouldn't be so strange. And maybe a Wrangel really was the secret father. And maybe the mother had to give away the child to someone else to foster. Many unmarried women had to do that. And in the background Wrangel paid all the expenses for the child, including education. Later, when the child needed a last name, he couldn't take Wrangel, so he chose Hammar in stead, from Habo or maybe it was his foster family's name. And eventually Wrangel helped him getting a good job, and maybe introduced him to his friends in the Gyllensvärd family. It isn't impossible.

If he grew up in Habo, I guess he might have gotten education in Skara? There was a school there, "Skara högre allmänna läroverk", and it isn't too far from Habo. There is a book over the students, but it seems to stop at 1793. That's probably one or a few years too early for someone born in 1779. But maybe Riksarkivet has the next book, even if Arkiv Digital doesn't.
