SEVENTH GENERATION

70. Sven Bengtsson was born on 13 Jan 1745 in Kreke, Istorp, Ä, Sweden. He was baptized on 13 Jan 1745 in Istorp, Ä, Sweden. Witnesses included Anders Jö from Torse, Soldat Hans Tornberg, wife Edela Jonasdoter, maiden Ingri Bengtsdoter from Torse. [Anders and Edela were probably the parents of Inga Caisa Skaren.] He died on 27 Dec 1794 in Kreke, Istorp, Ä, Sweden. ⁽²⁰²⁾ Age of death is incorrectly listed as 49. It really was 41. Cause of death is listed as magsjuka. He was buried on 11 Jan 1795 in Istorp, Ä, Sweden. He was married to Britta Andersdoter on 5 Apr 1779 in Istorp, Ä, Sweden.⁽²⁰³⁾ The groom (drangen) was from Kreke and the bride (pigan) from Byslä. A fee of 4 was paid. Sven was from Kreke and Britta from Byslä.

71. Britta Andersdoter was baptized in 1746. She was born on 23 Oct 1746 in Sweden.⁽²⁰⁴⁾ She died on 13 Oct 1805 in Kreke, Istorp, Ä, Sweden. ⁽²⁰⁵⁾ Cause of death is listed as wattensot (dropsy). Age at death is 58 years, 11 months, 20 days. She was buried on 21 Oct 1805 in Istorp, Ä, Sweden. There were at least three Britta Andersdotters in Istorp. However, Britta's death record indicates an age consistent with a birth in 1746, and the marriage record indicates she was from Byslä. There is only one Britta Andersdotter born in 1746, but she did not apparently live in Byslä. There is a Britta Andersdotter who lived in Byslä, who was also born in 1746, and that is the one here. The birth records of Istorp parish do not include her birth. However, parish records indicates that one Anders Larson (possibly her father) moved into the parish in 1749. No mention is made of his family. The household accounts of Istorp only go back to 1752 (which is really pretty good) but the accounts of 1779-1780, which include her marriage, are missing. Children were:
