EIGHTH GENERATION

158. Esbior Larsson was born on 24 Jul 1710 in Sweden. He died on 3 Jan 1782 in vestra Hed, Veddige, Halland, Sweden. Cause of death listed as brö(fever), or pneumonia. He was buried on 6 Jan 1782.⁽²⁵⁶⁾ Relationship to daughter Gunnel is inferred from household account of 1779-1780, and is uncertain.

159. Anna Bö. This has to be one of the most tenuous entries I've decided to include. Anna is known only from the death record of Christen Esbiorsson, where he is listed as the son of Esbior Larsson and Anna Bö. The known facts fit, but since I have no real evidence (or than the death record mentioned above) to link Christen with his purported siblings, the entry must be taken as speculative. Children were:

79 i. Gunnel Esbiornsdoter.
ii. Christen Esbiorsson was born on 26 Dec 1743 in Sweden. ⁽²⁵⁷⁾ He died on 6 Jul 1781 in Veddige, Halland, Sweden. ⁽²⁵⁸⁾ The death record of Christen names his father Esbior Larsson and mother Anna Bö. This is the only source for the name Anna Bö. The leap to assume that she was the mother of the rest of the Esbior children is speculation, as indeed even the fact the Esbior Larsson was the father is not directly attested in the records we have. The household accounts of 1770 and 1779-80 show Christen in Ö Kå.
iii. Kersti Esbiorsdoter was born on 25 Feb 1747 in Sweden. She died on 5 Jul 1809 in Veddige, Halland, Sweden.⁽²⁵⁹⁾ Kerstin died of brö (pneumonia) at the age of 62 years. She was buried on 9 Jul 1809 in Veddige, Halland, Sweden.
iv. Lars Esbiorsson was born on 18 Jan 1749 in Sweden. In this speculative entry, we only guess that Lars is actually the child of Esbior and a brother to Gunnel. He was from vestra Hed (Esbior lived there) when he got married to Ingierd Bö.
v. Brita Esbiorsdotter was born on 16 May 1755 in Sweden. ⁽²⁶⁰⁾ She died about 1805 in Sweden. Britta lived in Elgaslatt around 1780-81.
vi. Bö Esbiorsdoter was born on 26 Nov 1756 in Sweden.
vii. Olur Esbiorsdoter was born on 6 Nov 1759 in Sweden. She died on 1 Mar 1791 in vestra Hed, Veddige, Halland, Sweden.⁽²⁶¹⁾ At the time of death Olur was a pigan from vestra Hed. Her age is given as 31 1/4 years, and the cause of death is listed as a pain in the chest (bröä). She was buried on 6 Mar 1791 in Veddige, Halland, Sweden. Olur never married and never had any children. She lived in the household of her older sister Gunnel and her husband Bö. The household accounts of 1779 through 1785 list her as krympling.
