Bertil Eskilsson, the first husband of Elisabeth Johansdotter, was a Finn from Värmland who had been sent to New Sweden in 1641 as punishment for forest-burning. By his first wife, he had children Margareta (who married Mårten Mårtensson, Jr., in 1674), Anders Bärtilsson (who moved to Penns Neck by 1685), Gertrude Bärtilsdotter (who married John Archer) and Johan Bärtilsson (who never married). When he married Elisabeth, Bärtil Eskilsson was living on the west side of Stony Run, opposite the cabin of Johan Grelsson. After his eldest daughter married Mårten Mårtensson, Jr., however, Bertil joined the young couple at Calcon Hook. He died there about 1677 and his widow then married Hans Geörgen.
