256 Erik Nilsson, IX:1.  Born in Näset, Ström. Erik died on 5 Jun 1695 in Näset, Ström. Occupation: Farmer and lay assessor. Residence: Näset, Ström.Sources: Strömsboken, Näset 4 Georg Hansson, Näset 3 Hammerdals tingslags domböcker 1666 p 32 Ströms Hembygdsförenings årsskrift 1934, pages14-16. (Father 512; Mother 513) Go to the descendant chart In the 1649-year register of lands Erik Nilsson is noted as the owner of the farm. He pays this year 31 mark and 12 öre as rent (see below) and 12 mark as skin-tax. In the Judgement Book of the year 1666, page 32, is noted that Erik Nilsson was married to a daughter of Jon Eriksson in Gärde. It is therefore probable that Erik was married twice. According to the register of deaths a widow named Märit Mårtensdotter in Näset, Ström died on the 25th of August in 1696, that is one year after the death of Erik Nilsson. She may have been the second wife of Erik. In the year 1677 Erik Nilsson paid 1 daler, 8 öre and 12 thenarer as rent and 12 öre as skin-tax. The monetary unit was changed in 1664. 1 daler = 32 öre and 1 öre = 24 thenarer. Together with Nils Andersson in Bredgård and Nils Andersson in Tullingsås Erik paid 4 daler and 16 öre in rent of an area at Ringvattnet. In 1666 these farmers loosed the right to rent the land at Ringsjön. The reason for this was that some Finns had moved to the forest at Ringvattnet. This happened already in 1654. But it was first in 1666 that they, from the county governor Sparre, got the legal right to stay there. Erik Nilsson and the two other farmers got as compensation for the loss of the area at Ringsjön new hunting grounds near Frostviken. But this exchange was not acceptable according to the three farmers. Fiskå area rented for hunting and fishing (1649 - 1873) (Uno Mårten in the annual 1934 of the local folklore society of Ström) "Hunting and fishing were in earlier days much more important than they are now. The yield from the cultivation of the soil and the management of cattle was not enough to give food to the often very big families. The main settlement of the parish was near the church. The population increased and the farms were divided. Already in the middle of the seventeenth century the inhabitants of Ström thought it was rather cramped for hunting and fishing. For that reason they tried to find new areas for hunting and fishing. Towards the north along Vattudalen there were some possibilities. There were forests extending for miles and miles and good fishing-grounds, which could be rented from the Crown. The first example of such a rent from the Crown in the parish of Ström I know about is situated at Fiskå (about 7 mil (42 miles) from Strömsund). Already on the 7th of December in 1649 the farm foreman in Jämtland, Peder Ersson in Njure, sold for 6 Riksdaler a rent at Fiskå to five farmers in Grelsgård, Gärde, Näset and Strand. But according to minutes from an examination commission of the 6th of September in 1666 it is shown that most of the actual farmers have died and that no rents were now paid to the Crown. The decision was then that Erik Nilsson in Näset, Grels Nilsson in Grelsgård, Nils Andersson (ID 566) in Gärde and Olof Pedersson in Gärde should be allowed to rent the area and yearly pay 1 Daler. During more than 200 years the owners of the actual farms used the Fiskå-area and paid the rent every year. According to what is said the hunting in this area was very successful. And still the area around the Fiskå Mountains is considered to have the highest stock of game in Jämtland. Every autumn the farmers came together for fishing of chars in the three lakes. After 225 years the farmers loosed the right to rent the area around Fiskå. The head of the enforcement district in the northern tax collection district of Jämtland proposed on the 26th of November in 1873 to the farm foreman in Jämtland that the actual area near Fiskå should be included in a new farm in this region. The decision on the 17th of December in 1873 was in accordance with the proposal". Sven Lundkvist informs that also in the early 1970 there was a small building in V. Fiskåvattnet, which had belonged to the Näset-family. He could find signatures, the oldest one from 1831. As jig-fishermen and other visitors started to use parts of the building as fuel the building was moved to the community centre in Frostviken. It can now be seen there. Erik married NN Jonsdotter, IX:2. They had the following children:
257 NN Jonsdotter, IX:2. Born about 1620 in Gärde, Ström. NN died in Näset, Ström. Residence: Näset, Ström.Sources: The 1666 year Judgement Book of Hammerdal, page 32 (Father 514; Mother 515) Go to the descendant chart From the Judgement Book of Hammerdal in 1666, page 32, it is clear that Erik Nilsson then was married to a daughter of Jon Eriksson in Gärde. She was alive at least to about 1665. She should therefore have been the mother of at least the older children of Erik Nilsson. 258 Sven Sjulsson, IX:3. Born in Vallen, Ström. Sven died in Vallen, Ström. Occupation: Farmer. Residence: Vallen, Ström.Sources: Georg Hansson, Vallen 10 (Father 516; Mother 517) Go to the descendant chart Sven Sjulsson uses the farm between 1652 and 1670. He is mentioned in 1653 and 1679. Sven married Anna Nilsdotter, IX:4. They had one child:

Residence: Öhn, Ström.Sources: Georg Hansson, Öhn 21 Georg Hansson, Familjer i Ström 1500-1820; Familj 521 (Father 522) Go to the descendant chart The marriage is somewhat doubtful. Anders has however many grandchildren named Gunilla. In the death book(Ström C1, page 37) is written "On the 29th of March 1701 died the wife Gunilla Olofzd:r i Öhn och she was buried on the 24th ejusden. She was 67 years. Further is noted (Ström L1:1, page 70) Will afer the wife Gubnilla Sefres d:r i Öhn on the 24th of March. 262 Jöns Jonsson, IX:7. Born in 1632 in Äspnäs, Ström. Jöns died on 2 Oct 1705 in Äspnäs, Ström. Occupation: Farmer. Residence: Äspnäs, Ström.Sources: Strömsboken, Äspnäs 4 Georg Hansson, Äspnäs 2 (Father 524; Mother 525) Go to the descendant chart JönsJonsson was the owner of the farm from 1675 to 1702. In the month of May 1696 they carried out the prescribed inspection of the farms in Äspnäs. On the farm owned by Jöns Jonsson there were two mares, ten cows, five heifers nine sheep, nine goats and three pigs. Most of the houses were in good condition, but they had no "privy". On the farm they had two maids. The common mill was situated in Allån, half a mil (about 3 miles) from the village. They had chalets on the south side of the lake, near the present Bunäset. Jöns married Anna Persdotter, IX:8. They had the following children:
263 Anna Persdotter, IX:8. Born about 1648. Anna died on 7 Mar 1705 in Äspnäs, Ström. Residence: Äspnäs, Ström. Sources: Georg Hansson, Äspnäs Go to the descendant chart 264 Lars Zakrisson, IX:9. Born about 1645 in Lungsjön, Ramsele. Lars died on 2 Nov 1717 in Holmen, Flåsjön. Occupation: Settler. Residence: Havsnäs, Ström.Sources: Georg Hansson, Havsnäs 7; Georg Hansson; Familjer i Alanäs 1650-1820; familj 28 Menker Lungsjön 3 R Gothe; Finnkolonisationen pages 185-188 (Father 528; Mother 529) Go to the descendant chart The Finn Lars Zakrisson has probably moved from Lungsjön in the parish of Ramsele. The farm in Havsnäs was together with the other Finnish farms (Ringvattnet, Alanäs and Hillsand) liable to taxation for 1/4 mantal. The old Per Larsson from Rörström was the father in law to Sophia Pålsdotter in her first marriage. When he was old he moved to Havsnäs. He died there in 1682 and was then 105 years old. Lars Zakrisson transported him with great difficulties to the Finnish temple, the old church in Ström. The accusation of Per Larsson against Måns Olufson in Hoting (the ancestor of the bishop Manfred Björkquist!) is shown under ID 2800. There were long family quarrels about the inheritance after the old person. These were treated at the district court sessions. In the minutes of 1696 we find welcome contributions to the relationship. Isak Pederson was the first settler in Havsnäs. He and his wife Sophia had the son Päder Isaksson and two daughters. Brita was married to the dragoon Isak (Persson) Flink and Anna was later married to the dragoon Abraham (Persson) Wallman. The widow Sophia married Lars Zakrisson. They had one son and one daughter. Lars was then stepfather to the two dragoons and their wives and to Päder Isakson. The dragoon Flink quarreled most. He was obviously a loose-living and restless fellow. He was in a perpetual state of feud with his wife, which is shown in the Judgement Book. Furthermore he once reported several Finns in the area of Flåsjön for illegal elk-hunting. To be excused from the fine they left their farms and run away to Norway. Also Flink went to Norway. But he returned after some years. The quarrel about the old farm gave Lars Zakrisson cause for moving. In the year 1689 he started to build a new farm on an islet outside the old farm. Before this happened Lars had used half of the old farm and Pär Isaksson used the other half. Lars left completely the old farm in the year 1691. Pär Isaksson sold the farm some years later (1696) to Per Persson. The quarrels that followed are reported under Per Persson (ID 266). The new farm on Storholmen outside Havsnäs is 1689 "situated 1/8 mil (1 mil = about 6 miles) from Hafsnäs on an island or an isthmus where it never is freezing" (Judgement Book 1692). Lars Zakrisson is called "the settler". He was a very busy person. Already in 1693 he can in the register of tithes show a harvest of 12 shocks of rye and 32 shocks of barley. Five years later the figures are 36 and 60 shocks. The pioneer on "Holmen" was then already in 1693 taxed for 1/4 mantal, that is exactly the same as for the other Finnish farms, which, however, had been exempted from taxation for many years. Lars Zakrisson died in the year 1717. He had already in 1703 left the farm on Holmen to the son Zakris Larsson. In 1678 Lars married Sofia Pålsdotter, IX:10. They had one child:
265 Sofia Pålsdotter, IX:10. Born about 1635 in Lungsjön, Ramsele. Sofia died in 1714 in Havsnäs, Ström. Buried on 2 Nov 1714 in Ström. Residence: Havsnäs, Ström.Sources: Georg Hansson, Havsnäs 7 Georg Hansson; Familjer i Alanäs 1650-1820; familj 27 and 28 R.

Born in 1656 in Sunnansjö, Fjällsjö. Per (Great Per) died in 1725 in Havsnäs, Ström. Buried in 24 Oct 1725 in Ström. Occupation: Farmer. Residence: Havsnäs, Ström.Sources: Georg Hansson, Havsnäs 5 and Jonsgård 18 Gothe; finnkolonisationen pages 186-187. Agneta Olofsson; Fjällsjö byar och gårdar; Sunnansjö 4 (Father 532, Mother 533) Go to the descendant chart Per Persson bought a farm in Jonsgård, Ström from Sigfrid Jonsson on the 3rd of December in 1688. It was, however, with hesitation he accomplished this purchase. "He was two times called to the parish of Ström to bye a farm which was almost desert". The travels to Ström were full of hardships and he says that he was near to lose his life when he at the spring weather crossed rivers and lakes. In the year 1695 the Government and Crown decided that this farm was especially suitable as official residence for the second lieutenant of the company of the Mayor. For that reason the farm of Per Persson in Jonsgård had to be exchanged for the crown farm Tullingsås number 7. Per Persson should in addition get some compensation. But Per Persson did not like this exchange. He wrote a letter of appeal to the powers. But he finally accepted and moved to Tullingsås. He also loosed this farm after a dispute with the dragoon Jon Olof Frisk. Per Persson was then enjoined to move to the farm in Havsnäs. He used this farm from 1696 to at least 1711. Gothe writes the following: "Pär Isaksson is said to have sold his family farm in 1696 to Per Persson. In accordance with an ancient tradition "the Finn Per Persson" was the first settler in Havsnäs. This is, however, hardly true. Per Persson comes from Jonsgård in Ström. The owners of this farm had earlier the right to rent an area at the Flåsjön. The farmer Per Eriksson in Jonsgård had rented Flåsjön before the year 1666. Per Eriksson was probably the father of Per Persson. Pär Isaksson sold in 1696 the farm in Havsnäs to Per Persson, who had to pay 21 sixdalers plåtar. Lars Zakrisson (ID 1305) and his wife criticised the sale among other things because Lars already had extended the farm and also had to pay tax for it from the 28th of September 1679. The district court did not want not to sentence in this case but submitted it to the Judicial Board for Public Lands and Funds. Per Persson asked to get back the 21 Plåtar he had paid. The reason was that he had improved the farm. The farm foreman pointed out that he had given the farm to Per Persson "as no other person took care of the farm". In the minutes from the 1698 years district court session is also written, "Per Persson is a Swede. For that reason they (the Finns) want him to move and all the Finns fear him". Furthermore Per Persson had been forced to move from his farm in Jonsgård when the Government bought it and used it as official residence for a second lieutenant. The court decided that Per Persson should be allowed to stay at the farm as long as he paid the taxes. He was married to Märta Christoffersdotter and he died in 1725. He then was 69 years old. During the years Per Persson was the owner of the farm it was exempted from taxation by paying 32 daler s:mt according to a bill of sale from the Judicial Board for Public Lands and Funds dated 29th of August 1723." His son Johan Persson succeeded Per Persson. He was borne in 1688 and married to Bengta Mattesdotter. Johan was one time sentenced to pay a high fine. The maid in the farm had become pregnant with the master. Johan Persson had to pay 80 daler (not mark) s:mt and the woman 40 daler. The master could not pay the sum directly. He paid half the sum, 40 daler s:mt. The other half of the fine he had to get rid of by running three "street-races" between 300 men. Per (Great Per) married Märta Kristoffersdotter, IX:12. They had the following children:

They had one son Erik, who was born on the 28th of June 1708. Per married Ingrid Månsdotter, IX:14. They had the following children:

(Father 540; Mother 541) Go to the descendant chart Jon Israelsson was farmer on Vängel number 2 from 1668 to 1679. Jon Jonsson then bought the farm. Pål Jonsson was owner of the other farm in Vängel. He was son to Jon Olofsson (XI:61, ID 1084) and brother to the grandfather Jon Jonsson (X:31 ID 542) of Brita. Jon Israelsson should then be the father of Brita Jonsdotter if her date of birth is correct. Jon Israelsson moved from Terrsjö in Ramsele to Vängel. Jon married Märit Jonsdotter, IX:16. They had the following children:

Residence: Öhn, Ström.Sources: Strömsboken, Öhn 2 and 3 Georg Hansson, Öhn 2 and 3. Thord Bylund; the genealogical database "Angur" (Father 544; Mother 545) Go to the descendant chart After the death of Olof Jonsson his son Erik the Elder used the farm. He conveyed in the year 1683 the farm to his brother Erik the Younger, who was the owner to his death in 1695. It was unusual but not at all rare the two brothers or sisters had the same first name. From the certificate of registration of title it is shown that Erik the Younger has paid the shares of inheritance to his brothers and sisters living at home. But the four sisters who lived in Norway lost their rights of inheritance. Their inheritances went to the Danish Crown. Erik was, however, allowed paying for these shares of inheritance and he then could retain the farm undivided. Erik married Gunilla Mårtensdotter, IX:18. They had the following children:
273 Gunilla Mårtensdotter, IX:18. Born in 1649 in Öhn, Ström. Gunilla died in 1737 in Öhn , Ström. Residence: Öhn, Ström.Sources: Strömsboken, Öhn 3 Georg Hansson, Öhn 3 Thord Bylund: the genealogical database "Angur". (Father 520; Mother 521) Go to the descendant chart When Erik Olsson died he left the wife Gunilla and a number of young children. Gunilla had difficulties to clear off the management of the farm and the debts encumbered on the farm. She owed 15 Plåtar to Nils in Näset (ID 128), 2 Dlr Smt to the dragoon of the farm and further a debt of 2 Plåtar. The daughter Ingeborg intended, however, to marry Michel Andersson from Strand. He was prepared to take over the farm and pay the debts. The oldest son Olof, who was justified in taking over the farm, could not pay the debts and the share of the inheritance to his brothers and sisters. He therefore accepted that Michel should take over the farm. The guardians of the children first accepted this solution and it was approved in 1698 of the district court sessions. Michel had one year earlier moved to Öhn. In the spring 1698 he sowed the fields and paid all debts. It is probable that Michel was the son of Anders Jönsson (ID 604) who was wealthy and the owner of a number of farms. Something happened, however, which changed the plans of Michel . There was no marriage between him and Ingeborg (ID 149). Mickel and Ingeborg were called to the district court sessions in the autumn of 1698. But we do not know which of the parts wanted to cancel the agreement they had come to. Mickel seems, however, not to have been punished for breach of promise. A new agreement was signed which determines that Mickel should get half the year's crops of the farm and also a mortgage for the 36 Dlr Smt he had paid to the creditors. The widow Gunilla managed the farm until the year 1702 when her son Olof took it over. The harvest on the farm was in the year 1700 220 shocks of barley, 2 shocks of rye and 5 shocks of leguminous plants. The test-treshing gave per shock 5 kappor (1 kappe = 4,58 litres) of barley and rye and 2 kappor of peas. 274 Jöns Jönsson, IX:19. Born in 1665 in Tullingsås, Ström. Jöns died in 1739 in Tullingsås, Ström. Occupation: Farmer and lay assessor.
