Jon had (Georg Hansson, Äspnäs page 4) probably two sons with the same name. The older one lived in Äspnäs and the younger one in Öhn. This seems to be the only possible way to explain some relationships, which are difficult to interpret from a dispute about an inheritance at the autumn district court sessions in Hammerdal 1716 (See also X:123, ID 634). Georg declares that it was not unusual during the 1700s century that two (or even three) sons had the same name. The children got their names after grandparents and other relations according to precise rules, which were exactly followed. Children:
1060 Anders Andersson, XI:37. Born in Äänekoski Savolax Finland. Anders died in Omsjön, Ådalsliden. Occupation: Settler. Residence: Omsjön, Ådalsliden.

He paid for instance all six terms for the ransom of Älfsborg (1613). The Finns in this region tried with no success during two hundred years to be transferred from the Anundsjö parish to the Resele-Liden parish. They pointed out that they had 90 kilometres to the church in Anundsjö and only 50 kilometres to Resele, why they wanted to have to visit the church in Resele and also to pay their charges in Resele.

(Father 2144; Mother 2145) Go to the descendant chart There are a number of documents in which are shown the problems that Jon Olofsson and other Finns had when they moved to Fjällsjö. Some of them are reported below. * On the 26th of February in 1627 the two Finns Joen Olofson and Per Persson got the permission signed by King Gustav Adolf to take up two crofter's holding at Russjön in the parish of Fjällsjö. * In 1629 John Olufsson is for the first time noted in the register of cattle. * In 1630 the earlier inhabitants lodge complaints against the Finns at Russjön. * On the 20th of January 1630 the Finns get a letter from the county governor Johan Mårtensson in which he confirms the permission from the King. He also points out in forcible words to the other farmers that they have to accept the decision by the King. * The county governor Ernest Creutz reaffirms on the 22nd of March 1633 the decision of the King. Now is noted that the Finns and the other farmers have been reconciled since the borders of the farms have been marked out. The Finns are again shielded by the powers. But on the same time the Finns are exhorted to take up a cautious attitude against the other farmers and also the Lapps who have complained against the Finns in Russjön. * In January 1636 we have "The appeal of the country people". The country people in the parishes of Ramsele and Fjällsjö send to the Government a couple of complaints about the Finns. * In the autumn 1636 a strictly decision arrived. This resulted in that the county governor Stellan Möller found it necessary to decide that the Finns had to leave their farms. But it was not realized. * Once more the Finns had to walk the long road to Stockholm to present their situation. They declare that they live on the common land belonging to the Crown 3 mil (18 miles) from the nearest village. They say that they have bought their farms from the farmers for ready money. They have with much toil built a farm with 16 houses and they use 4 tunnor (1 tunna = 147 litres) of sowing on arable land and as much again on burn beaten land. They have further used burn beaten land for sowing of 8 tunnor rye. Finally they have in time paid their taxes and other expenses. * The Finns get a new permission to use their farms on the 16th of December 1636. The Queen Christina confirms that the Finns should be allowed to keep the farms if they fulfil the conditions laid down. Jon Oloufson moves soon after that to Tåsjön. Both he and the Finn Lars Nilsson live in Tåsjö with their children. The households get so big so that the farms used are found to be too small. Many times (in 1646, 1656 and so on) the farmers are examined concerning this fact. The resident Finns are fined because they have living in their farms many loose Finns. The first time this is observed the farmer has to pay 40 marks for each such Finn. The second time he may be hanged. The sons of Jon Olufson got farmers in Vängel 1 (Pål), Vängel 2 (Jon), Tåsjö 2, Nordantjäl and Sandviken in Ramsele (Henrik) and Rudsjö 2 (Olof). Children:
1076 Per Persson Smed, XI:53. Per died after 1638. Occupation: Farmer. Residence: Rudsjö, Fjällsjö. Sources: Agneta Olofsson, Fjällsjö byar och gårdar: Rudsjö 1 Bertil G Johnson Mohlund: Helgums socken del 1 page 52 Rickard Gothe: Finnkolonisationen pages 102-106 Go to the descendant chart Per Persson Smed was a Finn from Gudmundrå. He was farmer 1627-38 on Rudsjö 1 (the eastern farm, 6 sel). In the war against Norway in 1644 the Finns participated in the guard if the border. They were located in a small redoubt near Hammerdal with a garrison of 21 persons. Per Persson's three sons Per, Måns and Zackarias quarrelled a great deal. Måns wanted to shoot the Swedish guard. Per was later on sentenced to death for larceny at some neighbours. He should be decapitated or hanged. But he succeeded - as usual – to escape. He was called Per Persson the Great Smith. Per accused his brother Zackarias of counterfeiting .But Per could not prove his accusation. Zackarias moved first to Ås, Helgum and later to Graninge where he was a settler in Södergraninge. There he got into a dispute with his brother-in-law Knut Påhlsson. Children:

Occupation: Vicar. Residence: Mo, Hammerdal.Sources: Lennart Bygdén; Härnösands stifts herdaminne 1, page 301 Bertil Hasselberg; Supplement till Härnösands stifts herdaminne för pastoraten i Jämtland och Härjedalen, page 108. Georg Hansson, Häfte 4 Rättelser och tillägg, page 23. Sven Lundkvist (Father 2180) Go to the descendant chart Sven Lundkvist has thoroughly studied the documents that exist about the clergymen Sparf in Hammerdal (ID 1090 and 2180). Parts of these documents are shown in the person sheets for the two clergymen. Sven has also noticed that Erik Jonae Sparf probably was married only once and then with Seborg Pedersdotter. The parish includes Hammerdal and Ström. The vicar officiates two consecutive Sundays in Hammerdal and the third Sunday in Ström. He officiates every third Christmas, Easter and Whit sun in Ström. In Hammerdal there were 14 villages and 79 farmers and in Ström 10 villages and 34 farmers, that is totally in the parish 24 villages and 113 farmers. The yearly rent of the vicar amounts to 69 tunnor (1 tunna = 147 litres) of corn, 1 tunna butter, 2 tunnor and 4 pund (1 pund = 8,5 kilo) fish and shoulders depending on the good luck in hunting. On the vicars two farms they could sow 20 tunnor corn and keep 20 cows and 6 heifers. In the diocesan annals is among others written: "Erik Jonae Sparf [1588 – 1607], son to vicar Jon Er. Sparf n.5. During his time the church in Hammerdal was destroyed by fire. For the purpose of rebuilding the church the congregation was allowed by the county governor Christ. Fries and by the cathedral chapter in Trondheim to sell the farm Vallen (Wolden), that from time immemorial had belonged to the church. The sales price was 5 1/2 daler and the church was rebuilt within the nearest years. Erik took part on the 3rd of May 1591 in the selection of clergymen who had to honour King Chistian IV in Oslo on the 8th of July 1591. Erik is said to have been in Hammerdal during 40 years. But he cannot have been clergyman so long time. He owned a farm in Moen (Mo) in the parish of Hammerdal and he was still alive on the 28th of February 1607. Tunaeus says that Erik was married with Seborg, who was the daughter of a vicar from Norway. This is possible. But in that case he has been married twice. The second wife was then from Söre in the parish of Lit. He had here three brothers in law, namely assistant vicar Erik Andersson in Oviken-Berg, Ivar Pederssen in Bye and Peder Pedersson in Söre." Bertil Hasselberg writes among others the following: Sparf got the farm Haraldsgården as pledge for a loan to Gunder Olsson in Sikås. Legal disputes of this pledge occurred in 1627 and 1628. A letter of 28th of February 1607 shows that the wife of Erik was from Söre in the parish of Lit. The name of the wife was Persdotter and she is probably daughter to Per Eriksson in Söre, who is mentioned as lay assessor and county sheriff in Jämtland in the decades of 1560 and 1570. She got remarried with the county sheriff Anders Kristensson in Mo, Hammerdal. He is mentioned as late as 1628. Known children: Gabriel Eriksson, mentioned in 1627 and 1628 when the right of possession of Haraldsgården for he and his mother was denied at the district court sessions in Hammerdal. Nils Eriksson, who probably was farmer in Åsen, Hammerdal. A person named Erik Nilsson is in the Judgement Book 1674 said to be grandson to Erik Sparf. Anna Eriksdotter married with Sten Pedersson in Grötom, Häggenås. He was county sheriff and lay assessor. He died in 1655. According to Georg Hansson there are two more daughters, namely: Ingeborg Eriksdotter married with Olof Jonsson, Öhn, Ström. Karin Eriksdotter married with Jöran Svensson, Tullingsås, Ström. About 1585 Erik married Seborg Persdotter, XI:68. They had the following children:
