512 Nils, Great-Nils Eriksson, X:1.  Born in Näset, Ström. Nils, Great-Nils died bef 1645 in Näset, Ström. Occupation: Farmer. Residence: Näset, Ström.Sources: Strömsboken, Näset 3 Georg Hansson, Näset 2 Hasse Petrini: Räfsten med Jämtarna 1613 (Father 1024; Mother 1025) Go to the descendant chart Nils Eriksson is the owner of the farm during the years 1631-1684. He was compulsory called up for military service to Russia in connection with the Swedish occupation of Jämtland. It is not known how long time he was away. But in 1616 he had in any case returned. The following happened during the Batzar feud and the inquisition with the inhabitants of Jämtland 1613: Jämtland was conquered by Swedish troops during the Kalmar war. All inhabitants in Jämtland were forced to take their oath of allegiance. 200 young inhabitants of Jämtland were called up for military service. They were as soldiers sent to different theatres of war. Some of them came to Russia. In the Peace of Knäred on the 18th of January 1613 Sweden had, however, to return Jämtland to Denmark. At court proceedings in Copenhagen on the 11th of June 1613 it was found that many inhabitants of Jämtland were guilty of some grave accusations. For that reason they were condemned as infamous and perjury traitors of Denmark. They were sentenced to lose their hereditary estates and they were outlawed. By a decision of the King of Denmark on the 14th of January 1614 the inhabitants of Jämtland also loosed the special privilege to pay only half the taxes which were imposed in Norway. It was, however, found that almost all inhabitants of Jämtland (about 1300 of the 1470 farmers) should be punished as a consequence of the decisions above. The King then decided that the present farmers should be allowed to stay on their farms as leaseholders and pay rents to the Crown. Most of the farmers who had been condemned as outlawed were releases from this sentence by paying a given amount of money. Nils Eriksson from Näset, Ström is mentioned among those who were punished (page 129) Nils, Great-Nils married Mareta, X:2. They had the following children:

Jens died before 1644 in Gärde, Ström. Occupation: Farmer. Residence: Gärde, Ström. Sources: Georg Hansson, Gärde 18 Georg Hansson; Familjer i Ström 1500-1820; Familj 95 Go to the descendant chart Jens was a farmer on Gärde number 3 from 1600 to about 1641, when his son Mickel took over the farm. Jens was probably married with an Olofsdotter. Her Brother Erik Olofsson bequeathed namely the farm Öhn number 1 to his sister's son Olof Jönsson (X:33, ID 544) The wife of Jens Eriksson came from Hallen, Hallviken, according to "The inquisition with inhabitants of Jämtland 1613".She had an estate in Hallen, which probabbly came from her mother's side Jens married NN Olofsdotter, X:4. They had the following children:

Sivert died in Vallen, Ström. Occupation: Farmer. Residence: Vallen, Ström.Sources: Georg Hansson, Vallen 10 and 1 (Father 1032) Go to the descendant chart Sjul Persson used the farm from about 1607 to 1650. The village Stamsele was at that time situated "abroad", in the parish of Ramsele, Ångemanland. But the contacts with Ström were lively. This is shown in the minutes from the county council in 1624. The King of Denmark had forbidden Norwegians from travelling over the border to Sweden because "the infectious disease plague" had been rife there for a long time. Probably there were also political reasons. As frontier guards had not been set out the inhabitants on both sides of the boarder continued to visit each other to carry out different errands. The inhabitants in Ström were then accused of having offended against "the letter and prohibition of the Government". Eleven farmers from different villages in Ström were summoned to the district court sessions at Frösön on the 17th of March 1624. Sjul from Vallen said that he had a six years old child who had been living in Stamsele at the brother of his wife. He had now to fetch the child, as his brother-in-law could no longer bring it up. Anders from Vallen needed salt. For that reason he went to Stamsele and he bought one pund of salt. It is, however, not written in the minutes which penalties the farmers from Ström got for their offences. Sjul Persson was also the owner of some ground on Öhn. The district court decided in 1632 that he had to leave this ground to Anders Jonsson. Sivert married Sigrid Ersdotter, X:6. They had one child:
517 Sigrid Ersdotter, X:6. Born in Stamsele, Strömsund. Residence: Vallen, Ström.Sources: Georg Hansson, Vallen 1 and Stamsele 7 (Father 1034) Go to the descendant chart 520 Mårten Andersson, X:9. Mårten died in Öhn , Ström. Occupation: Farmer. Residence: Öhn, Ström.Sources: Georg Hansson, Öhn 20 page 19 Georg Hansson; Familjer i Ström 100-1820, Familj 513 (Father 1040; Mother 1041) Go to the descendant chart In the 1645 register of population there is a Mårten Andersson mentioned among the domestic servants of the farm. He may be a son to Anders Mårtensson and he is possibly married to Anna Olofsdotter. Mårten is noticed as owner of the farm from 1646 to about 1670. In the register of tithes is, however, Mårtens brother Jöran (ID:630) noticed as responsible for the farm the years 1659, 1661 and 1663. Elin, the daughter of Mårten Andersson, was in the year 1662 sentenced to death. She was suspected of child-murder. She had without the knowledge of her parents borne a child and then hided it. All death-sentences were, however, submitted to the court of appeal, which notified the following: "If the foetus was fully developed at the delivery, the mother should be decapitated and burned. If this was not the case the matter should again be submitted to the court of appeal". The court of appeal treated the case once more on the 5th of June in 1663. First was then noted: "The father of the child and the sworn men of the parish pray for the mother. The father of the child promises to marry her if she get reprieved." The court of appeal then decided to reverse the death-sentence and in stead let she be punished in a different way. Unfortunately we do not know what happened with Elin Mårtensdotter and the rider Anders Persson, who was the father of the child. A person named Olof Mårtensson lived in Öhn about 1670. He moved to Norway in 1674. Mårten Andersson is according to the Judgement book of 1670 claimed to pay share of an inheritance after Olof to his "relations" Nils Eriksson in Näset (ID:512) and Jöns Arvidsson in Hallen and their joint heirs and heiresses. Olof is probably a son to Mårten Andersson and Kerstin, the wife of Jöns Arvidsson, is his sister. Mårten married Märeta Olofsdotter, X:10. They had the following children:
521 Märeta Olofsdotter, X:10. Born about 1615. Residence: Öhn, Ström. Sources: Georg Hansson, Öhn 20 Georg Hansson; Familjer i Ström 1500-1820; Familj 513 Go to the descendant chart Probably married with Mårten Andersson. She is mentioned in the register of population 1645 among domestic servants. 522 Olof Persson, X:11. Occupation: Farmer. Residence: Gärde, Ström.Sources: Georg Hansson, Gärde 11 (Father 1044; Mother 1045) Go to the descendant chart Olof Persson used the farm between the years 1658 and 1677. Child:
524 Jon Jenssen (Jönsson), X:13. Born in Äspnäs, Ström. Jon died after 1679 in Äspnäs, Ström. Occupation: Farmer. Residence: Äspnäs, Ström.Sources: Strömsboken, Äspnäs 3 Georg Hansson, Äspnäs 1 Ströms Hembygdsförenings årsskrift 1932, page 11 (Father 1048) Go to the descendant chart Jon Jensson was the owner of the farm from 1636 to about 1675. The years around 1660 were very difficult for many farmers in Ström. In the 1659 register of tithes is written that 12 of the 33 farmers in the parish of Ström were "miserably poor and wretched". Mentioned here is also Jon Jensson in Äspnäs. At an inspection in 1666 of the ground of the Crown in Ström it was established that Jon Jonsson in Äspnäs carried on fishing on the territory of the Crown without paying any charge. For that reason Jon Jonsson and another farmer in Äspnäs promised to pay to the Crown an annual rent of one lispund (= 8,5 kg) of dried pike or 24 öre in silver coins. Jon married Mareta Jörgensdotter, X:14. They had the following children:
525 Mareta Jörgensdotter, X:14. Mareta died in Äspnäs, Ström. Residence: Äspnäs, Ström.Sources: Strömsboken, Äspnäs 3 Georg Hansson, Äspnäs 1 (Father 1050) Go to the descendant chart 528 Zakris Larsson, X:17. Born in 1620 in Hassela. Zakris died in 1668 in Lungsjön, Ramsele. Occupation: Farmer. Residence: Lungsjön, Ramsele. Sources: Gothe, Finnkolonisationen page 99; Menker Lungsjön 3 Mikael Wikman; Rötter, svar #2406 Go to the descendant chart The Finns Zakarias Larsson and Per Månsson have probably bought ground at Lyngsjön from the farmers living in Sel. Several Finns, among them Zakarias Larsson, were noted living near Lyngsjön at a hearing in 1648. Zakarias Larsson seems to have moved from the Hasselaforest (Kölsjön) where he was given notice to quit as a Finnish servant. Maybe he then came to know the region of Ramsele from the great hunter Israel Pedersson, who made several excursions to this area. Soon the Finns at Lungsjön bought more ground from the farmers. In the 1651 register of lands is noted that Larsson has 6 selands (1 sel = about 3500 square metres), with the addition that he has added to 3 1/2 seland. "The Finns at Sel", as they were normally called, got into much trouble because of the visiting Finnish hunting parties. These were ordered to pay high fine. Once when Israel Pedersson had visited Sel with his great hunting party they went home with nine loaded carts with for instance elk meat, elk skins and beaver pelts. The farmer thought rightly that this was a ruthless exploitation. They complained at the county council several times about Israel. Finally he had to pay so high fine in Ångermanland that he must leave his farm and pawn his articles of value. Zakris married Karin Larsdotter, X:18. They had the following children:
529 Karin Larsdotter, X:18. Residence: Lungsjön, Ramsele. Sources: Mikael Wikman; Rötter, svar #2406 Go to the descendant chart 530 Påhl Andersson, X:19. Born in Omsjön, Ådalsliden. Påhl died in Södergård, Nätra. Occupation: Settler. Residence: Omsjön, Anundsjö.Sources: Rune Edström, Rötter Ådalsliden 15 July 2000 (Father 1060) Go to the descendant chart Påhl Andersson is mentioned 1637-39 and 1647-48. He is called Finn. He was married to the widow of Henrik Påhlsson. They had among others the son Matts Pålsson, born about 1655. He was a deaf and dumb settler in Hälla the year 1683. "Mattis the deaf mute from Sörgård in Nätra" Georg Wallin the younger spent the night at his travel to Åsele 1715 at Matts "a deaf mute but kind and pious person who had many children and relatives". Later generations now live in Hälla. They have the second name Hällestrand. Children:
532 Per (Great-Per) Eriksson, X:21. Born about 1610 in Näset, Fjällsjö. Occupation: Farmer. Residence: Näset, Fjällsjö.Sources: Agneta Olofsson; Fjällsjö byar och gårdar, Näset 1. Karl-Erik Ström enligt Rötter Fjällsjö 19 juli 2000 Bertil Johnson Rötter, Tåsjö 12/3 2003 and Familj F 7 Roland Forssén (Father 1064) Go to the descendant chart Per Eriksson was farmer on Näset number 1 in Fjällsjö. The first time we find Per in the Judgement book is in the year 1662. Per has a violent discussion with the neighbour Christoffer Persson. He then goes to his farm and beats both the wife of Christoffer and his maid so they get "blue and blood-stained". The great witch-processes start the same year. The maid (Sara Persdotter), who was badly treated by Per, is the principal accused. Per adds to the suspicions by declaring that she, by means of witchcraft, is responsible for the fact that he has had no advantage of his domestic animals. A sentence related to the maltreatment could not be settled before the sentences concerning the accusations for witchcraft was ready. After two years the court had acquitted all accused except Sara Persdotter. As they could not decide whether Sara was guilty or not guilty the court decided that the judgement should be placed "in the hands of God" Per (Great-Per) married Maria Olofsdotter, X:22. They had the following children:
533 Maria Olofsdotter, X:22. Born about 1620 in Jansjö, Fjällsjö.Sources: Rötter, Fjällsjö Per Näsström 6 jan 2001 KarL-Erik Ström enligt Rötter, Fjällsjö 19 juli 2000. Bertil Johnson; Familj F 7 (Father 1066) Go to the descendant chart 534 Kristoffer Pålsson, X:23. Born about 1615 in Orrnäs, Fjällsjö. Kristoffer died about 1689 in Sunnansjö, Fjällsjö. Occupation: Farmer and lay assessor. Residence: Sunnansjö, Fjällsjö.Sources: Agneta Olofsson: Fjällsjö byar och gårdar Sil 1 and Sunnansjö 1 Karl-Erik Ström enligt Rötter Fjällsjö 19 juli 2000 Roland Forssén (Father 1068, Mother 1069) Go to the descendant chart Kristoffer Påhlsson lived his first years in Orrnäs. He got lay assessor in 1649. Kristoffer moved before 1649 to Sil and finally in the year 1651 to Sunnansjö number 1. This farm was reported as deserted in 1689. The reason was that Kristoffer was poor and old. Kristoffer had caused a summons to be issued against his neighbour Per Hansson at the district court sessions in 1674. The reason was that Per had "cursed the arable lands so that they did not work normally". Earlier there had been a fight in the parish hall. Kristoffer had accused Per of the same things. Hans Kristoffersson had, with a chair, beaten Per so there was bloodshed. As Kristoffer could not prove his accusation the court fined him 40 marks for false accusation (The 1950 Chronicle of Fjällsjö). Children:
