Larsdotter and Fagerström in Åseda

[Michael Lundholm]

Hi all -
 
I am looking for information on Maria Larsdotter born circa 1724-28.  I believe that she was born in the parish of Åseda. I have found a Maria born in Åseda in 1728 to Lars Bak (Larsson) and Kristin Mansdotter in Massamåla, but Husförhörlangd records show that Maria was born in 1724.  I can't find a Maria born in 1724 or any of the following years up to 1728, who had a father by the name of Lars.  I am hoping that someone can help me in proving who her parents were.
 
I am also trying to find out information on her spouses.  
 
Her first husband was Soldat Olof Fagerström, born 1724 (Husför. information), but I have no idea where.  I assume he died sometime after 1756 and before 1760.  Olof and Maria lived at Massamåla Soldatorp and had two children that survived to adulthood. The children were Lars Olofsson born Dec 24 1752 and Lena Olofsdotter born Feb 2 1756.
 
Between 1756 and 1759 Maria is listed as being married to Soldat Jonas Fagerström, (the second husband?) living at Massamåla Soldatorp. Jonas is listed as being born in 1740 in the Åseda Husför.. The family moved Näshult in 1765. In the Näshult Husför. the family is listed as:  
 
Jonas Olofsson 1732
Maja Larsdotter 1724
Lars Olofsson 1752, 24 December
Lena Olofsdotter 1756, 6 February
 
Can anyone can help solve this puzzle of where the Fagerströms came from and who Maria's (Maja) parents were?  Any suggestions would be helpful.
 
Thank you,
