Help with a birth record in Lane-Ryr parish

[Douglas A Nelson]

In researching my ancestor Olof Wennerberg, I came across a record for a child, Lars, born out of wedlock on 17 May 1787 in Lane-Ryr parish (attached).  The transcription on Släktdata reads in part:  “Oäkta. Fadd: Dragon Olof Wenerberg på Singers ståm”… Could someone please tell me what role Olof played at this baptism?  I’m curious also what role Olof Söderbom “på Långe måssen” played.  I know both were dragoons, and assume they were sponsors of some kind, but I have never come across the terms used after their names before.  Several online dictionaries have not been able to help.  Thank you!

At this time, the sponsors had no real responsibility any more, they were just friends of the family that attended the baptism. Often brother or sister to one of the parents, or neigbours or just friends.

The words after their names are the places were they lived. The spelling is unusual. "Singers ståm"  should be "Signeröds stom" and "Långe måssen" is "Långemossen".

Thank you both for your help!  The spelling of the places is unusual.
