Den indelta armén i Vartofta härad

[Eleanor Olin]

Hi again Jan Åke. Bengt Biörnsson Bruhn/Brun(1703-1773), another soldier/miller/farmer ancestor of mine, lived in the Skörstorps Soldattorp and also Berget(Galgaberget?)Dimbo between about 1728 and 1739. Is there any information in the book about his military service? Thank you.
Mvh/ Eleanor

[Jan Åke Sandberg]

Bengt Björnsson Brunn, born c. 1705 in Västergötland, admitted April 15, 1724, dismissed Oct 15, 1741.  Crippled in his hand, weak man

[Eleanor Olin]

Hi Jan Åke, Thank you for the information. Apparently Bengt Björnsson Brunn regained his strength: after his dismissal, he had 3 more children, became a miller in Beskvarn, Dimbo, and died of old age at 72! His father-in-law was the soldier, Johan(Jan)Andersson Smed of Guldsmedsgård, Ottravad. I have no birth or death information on him: anything in the book?  Again thank you, Eleanor

[Jan Åke Sandberg]

Eleanor, Guldsmedsgården was not a soldiers salary  farm, it was for the man who was a kind of police (Profoss on Swedish and German)and there was noone with mentioned name.  For Ingabo Lillegården in parish of Ottravad it is a man named Jon Andersson, admitted 1704 and still there 1706 (nothing more).  Maybe he was killed at the battle of Poltava in Ukraine July 1709, his successor was admitted 1709.  This solder was No 21 in Vartofta kompani, Kungl Skaraborgs regemente. Jan Åke

Jan Åke, Thank you for searching for Johan Smed. Perhaps he was not a regular soldier. I found him first as Johan of Guldsmedsgården when his son Lars was baptised in 1700.(Dimbo/Ottravad) He is listed as Johan Smed from his daughter, Cathrinas, birth in 1703.In 1705 the soldier, Johan Smed of ?? has a son, Anders. The soldier, Johan Smedzs, child dies in March of 1706. A Johan of Guldsmedsg. has a son, Mågnus, in 1707. I assumed they were all the same person. Eleanor

[Jan Åke Sandberg]

Eleanor!  Magnus is the correct spelling but in Sweden they quite change it to Måns.  Magnus is latin and meand the great (compare with Charlemagne = Charles the great, emperor 800 AD). Smed is Smith and Guldsmed is Goldsmith as you probably know.  It could happen that they dont have a soldiers name in the military rolls but in the church records, especially when the system was new (this military system were in force 1682-1901).  Jan Åke

[Eleanor Olin]

Jan Åke, The soldier, Jon Andersson from L. Ingabo, may very well be my Johan Andersson Smed. (Jon is a form of Johan) I checked the map and L. Ingabo, Ottravad is very close to Guldsmedgård. The church records might tell me if that Jon had children during the same time period. Otherwise, the dates you gave me correspond with what I already know. I have one more soldier relative, Corporal Sven Jonasson Plit (1784-?) from Sköttning, Luttra. Any information in the book about him? Thank you again, Eleanor

[Jan Åke Sandberg]

Sven Plit, born Nov 27 1784 in Falköping, admitted Oct 19 1808 as soldier No 909 at Gunnestorp Brunnsgården in Falköping under Vilske kompani, Kungl Skaraborgs Regemente, attended the war against Napoleon 1813-14, corporal June 5, 1815, dismissed June 29, 1837, sick and unable for military duties, served very well, noted for pension.  Dead Nov 3, 1872 at Gunnestorp Brunnsgården in Falköping.  Im now away for one week./Jan Åke

Hej  Jag har sökt i en bok om soldater från Habobygden (samt en länk till soldatregister) utan att finna min släkting: Jon Mårtensson i Ramsekärr, född i Habo den 8 maj 1690. Jag är medveten om att jag är novis på området och inte har gjort någon ordentlig research, men hoppas ändå få tips. Med vänlig hälsning Karin E
