Sverd, Joseph Born 1785

[Candace]

I am looking for information on Joseph Sverd and his family. He was born 5-24-1785. I believe he lived in Berga. He married Stina Zachrisdotter (born 11-5-1785). I believe he was a soldier.
 
I would appreciate any information available on him and his family.
 
Thanks,
Candace

Widow Stina Zakrisdotter b 11 May 1785 died 6 Jan 1857 in Falnaveka, Falkabo. Ex-soldier Joseph is listed in the 1840-45 household roll as born 24 May 1784, he died 2 Dec 1840, aged 56 years 6 months and 6 days according to the death book. Cause: old age!
Their birth places are difficult to read but I believe she was born in Hörda (a village in Berga). I have not found them in the birth book, which is not very informative for this period.
 
In the Soldier?s register he is listed as Svärd (Nilsson) Jonas b 1784. You can get more info from: jorgen.s(at)wtnord.se, refer to number KR-08-1000-1807 Svärd, Jonas.
 
In 1831 they had 2 sons, Salomon b 26 May 1816 and Johannes born 3 Nov 1819.

One more son, Nils Petter b 1806, May 8. I think the birth place for Joseph is Vittaryd.
He left soldiering in 1830
