Reading the father's name in a 1707 Linköping marriage record

[Kevin Casey]

The attached image is a marriage record from Oct 29, 1707, Linköping, Östergötland ( found here: https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0016905_00179 ). The record shows Bo Anderson marrying Anna Larsdotter of Baden. The final few words should be her father, but I can only read, "Lars XXX dotter," and I'm wondering just who the father might be.

Any help would be appreciated.

The note says "In the year 1707 on 29 Octob. were married Boo Andersson and the maid/unmarried girl Anna Lars daughter. Boo Andersson presented proof of good behaviour from the priest in G. Kyhl (probably the parish of Gammalkil?). Anna is born here in town, daughter of Lars castle guard".

G. Kijhl = Gammalkil parish

Anna är född här i Staden, Lars Slotz Knektz dotter = Anna was born here in town, daughter of Lars Slottsknekt.

”Slottsknekt” was not his surname but his profession – Lars was a soldier/guard, probably at Linköpings slott (castle).

Thanks to you both! I have another source that suggested her father was Lars Hakansson, so "Slottsknekt" was very confusing to me.  Hopefully castle guards are listed in the Generalmönsterrullor!

Thank you again,
