Sophia Pärsdotter and Corporalen Nils Jonsson Sundberg information

[Robert Carlson]

Sophia and Nils are my 7th generation ancestors.  I am looking for their dates of birth, marriage and death.  Year of birth is probably about 1724.  Nils was in the Kalmar Regemente in 1770.  see Generalmönsterrullor - Kalmar regemente (F, G, H) 410 (1770) Image 35 (AID: v60222.b35, NAD: SE/KrA/0023).  Their son, Nils Nilsson Fast, was born in Massemåla, Högsby, Kalmar on 2/16/1764, but I have not found them in the household examination books.  See Högsby (H) CI:3 (1752-1815) Image 56 / Page 105 (AID: v39049.b56.s105, NAD: SE/VALA/00160) for Nils Fast's birth record.   I appreciate any leads that you can find.

Nils dies in Högsby 1801-02-04 of old age and weakness, Högsby CI:3 p 509.
Nils and Sophia in Östrahult, Högsby AI:1 p. 21.
The death notice gives his age as 80 yrs 3 months, suggesting birth year 1720. The 1770 muster roll gives his age as 47 yrs 4 months, suggesting birth year 1722-23, age in earlier rolls suggests 1724.

The PLF Oskarshamn database (which is fairly reliable) has several Nils Jonsson born in Högsby 1700-1730, but no Sophia/Sofia Pärsdotter/Persdotter/Petersdotter. So presumably she was born in another parish.

The muster roll 1761-1764 informs that he was POW in Pomerania Jan. 1759-May 1760:

Thank you for the information that you found.  Sophia may have been from Viserum but I haven't located anything on her.

Sophia's death record on the same page spread as Nils' (Högsby CI:3 p 509), date 1801-03-19. Age 84, cause of death Old age and weakness.

If Sophia/Sofia (aged 84 in 1801) was born 1715-1717, a possible candidate is Sofia Persdotter, born in Wirum, Misterhult 1717-05-08.

Thank you!  Misterhult has come up in some other research.  I will check it out.
