Can someone confirm/correct my general understanding of the top portion of the estate inventory that is attached?
I've circled a phrase that I don't understand so would welcome help with this.
I've also circled the following 4 names and would like to confirm/learn the roles they played in the estate inventory in relation to the children (where they all representatives?):
1. Jonas Gudmundsson - I think he represented the 15 year old son Johannes Gudmundsson. Jonas is a relative
2. Pär Andersson - I think he represented the 28 year old daughter Johanna Gudmundsdotter.
3. Olaf Pärsson - What is his connection to the 25 year old daughter Catharina Gudmundsdotter?
4. Johannes Nilsson - I don't know what his role is - was it also related to Catharina?
This is my basic understanding:
On 1826, 29 Sept, an estate inventory was taken for Gudmen Charlson (Gudmund Carlsson) who died 9 July. He left behind a widow and their 6 children, 4 sons: Lars 33 years old, son Charl 23 years old, son Anders 20 years old, son Johannes 15 years old, represented by Jonas Gudmundsson in Bägaryd, older daughter Johanna 28 years old was represented by Pär Andersson in Groeryd and other daughter Katarina 25 years old - who are Olaf Pärsson in Miäla and Johannes Nilsson in Balkeryd? The first two people on the list are related to the children. I'm trying to understand, since the daughters are aged 25 and 28, if they were being assigned a guardian if they were unmarried or if there is any indication of their marital status. I have not seen any evidence of them being married at that time. Would each child have a separate representative or guardian?
One other thing - his widow was Kiersten Larsdotter but I don't see her name on the first page. Is it there and I just missed it? She is named on the last page of the inventory at bottom of page 925 located at:

If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks so much,
