Finn settlements on Älvdalsvägen härads utskogar

The Finnish colonization of North Fryksdalens woodlands carried out during the 1640s from the estates of Fryksände parish western utskogar around Rottnan and Lekvattenssjöarna until the resumption of Rattsjöberget end of the decade. In close connection with this, continues the Finnish bebyggelsrörelsen further north into Älvdalsvägen härads western forest areas with impairments in the south of New parish utskogar in the current Nyskoga.

This is taken up first North Flatåsen or Öjeberget, Southern Flatåsen and Tarn Mountain, all in 1646, quickly followed by settlements around the 1650s input, continued across the vast forest area north to the province's northern tip. The Finnish hemmansbildningen illustrated here continue with accounts of important settlements homestead to homestead in parishes Nyskoga, South and North Finnskoga. This production is based mainly partly excerptmaterial from their own investigations of clerical documents, such as land records, tiondelängd- and census records, court records, etc., and above all in similar material from Brooks Valls Elfdalsarkiv in the Nordic Museum.

Northern Flatåsen or Öjeberget . Manas' lands in Northern New parish utskog (NUV. Nyskoga) occupied the Finns Jacob (with unknown family name) and Skägga Lasse Himainen newbuildings in 1646, which tillöktes 1649, the tax was to ¼ tax homestead 1653. The first bebyggaren Jacob in 1646, but already the following year live two farmers in Northern Flatåsen, Jacob, who pays 6 Quarters rye in the tenth and with him Skägga Lars, who pay 4 Quarters rye listed tenth and apparently been at the time of Jacob. He later appearing on the homestead to 1655, then in his place enters Henrik Matsson and with him a new family, Moijainen. Henry stands remain busy until 1667, and after him his son Nils Henriksson (died 1722), while Jacob after 1655 no further business in North Flatåsen and disappear unknown. Skägga Lars is responsible for its part of the homestead to 1665, when his son Paul takes over the farm, and the death of 80 year old 27/5 1698. Pål Pålsson Himainen takes over after him, and is death in 1712. His son , Anders Palsson born 1694th

[Note: Jacob disappears abt 1655]

Southern Flatåsen (Monkamäki) in Nyskoga. The first bebyggaren Southern Flatåsen called Clemmet Mansson . In soil the book are deported, that Clemmet occupied Core The rock, a task that does not match the register of population (apparently he felförd the Core Mountain, cf. Just below). According earth book is reported to Clemmet in Core Mountains have occupied Southern Flatåsen at Manas' lands as settlers in 1646, received the tillökt 1649, tax added 1/8 homestead 1653. Clemmet Mansson paid tithes in 1647 and remains on the farm to 1656. When things the 20/6 1656 complained that Clemmet in Flatåsen folded over häradsrået and sowed the clearing before he traveled to the Caribbean (ie New Sweden, Delaware). Mattes Nilsson Moijainen is written in the lengths of Southern Flatåsen years 1657-87. Probably he bought Southern Flatåsen then Clemmet went away. - Monkamäki concerns really the associated part of Mangslidberget (Monkamäki).

Pond Mountain (SOV) in Nyskoga, ä. Comm. Core Berg , FinnishKonkari , vrml.fi. Paths . In the book Earth in 1650 and 1652 are Clemmet in Core Bergh as Jacob in Flatåsen for new buildings occupied in 1646, tillökta 1649. This refers rightly Jacob in North Flatåsen and Core's upptagningsår. Clemmet however, is here, as in years 1653 felförd population register; he is the first settler in South Flatåsen. Compare just above.

For Tjärn The mountain stands Finn Paul in the Core Mountaincompletion of census data and tenth lengths from 1652 until 1667 and has been in manpower 3 people in 1652, 7 in 1654 and 6 in 1655. From 1671 to 1677 stands son Henrik in lengths. -Paul Henriksson had sons Henry, Eric, John and Paul. The latter three died respectively. 1701 and 1735, 85 year old, and in 1699, 44 years old.

According to an ancient writing, dated August 24, but the year, found in Core Mountains in the roof of a demolished shed and front shown for the rights of 11/9 1717, had three signed people in Ljusnäs in New parish sold a forest tract, called the Core Mountain, the Paul Henriksson 30 RDR, 6 tr rye and a rågfall, on the woodland he is minded to uppröja, building, and livable and subsequently take firm; the boundaries of the forest area is deserted. (This was written at the request inquantum lawyers registered.) - Message in Brook Valls Elfdalsarkiv, Nord. Museum.

Viggen consists of new buildings occupied in Northern New utskog at Manas' estates 1650, tillökta 1653 and tax added to 1/4 homestead 1657. They reported together until the 1670s, then each one separately as North and South Viggen:

Northern Viggen (Vaissila). The first built there was Anders Palsson Vaissinen , who paid the tenth in 1650 and in 1654 in manpower had 6 people, including 2 own and 4 household. He stands in lengths from 1650 to 1675 and has sons Paul, Thomas, Johan and Anders and daughters Karin, Annika and Marit. Son Pål Andersson's death in 1690, Thomas in 1698 and Johan 1710th

According domboken the 3/5 1680 testified vicar Ericus Nicolai, that "in the last Danish feud time hath the enemy from Norway for the old and miserable man Pål Andersson ruined his kronos cat farm in New parish and from there not only carrying away all his poor estate, death struck his old parents, hvarmedelst ofvanbemälde Paul Anderson of these förledne ofredstider been uti great poverty and stands back with try utlagor for ovanbemälte homestead ". - The same year are resolved Kungl. Majesty of the peasantry individual trouble for Elfdals district, the åborna the Viggen, "whose tax homestead of the enemy sköflat and uppbrändt's and parents slain might eftergifvas three years of outstanding utlagor". After Paul Vaissinen is the son Pål continue to 1680 and his brothers Anders and Tomas.

Southern Viggen (Karvala) was taken at the same time as North Viggen (according to Nordmann, p. 26) by Matt Pöntinen (Peter Nordmann, Finns in central Sweden, Helsinki 1888) and tax was put together with Northern Viggen to ¼ tax homesteads according to land book in 1656. Both settlements recognized in the tenth and register of population together and separately as above only from the mid 1670s.

Mathes Isaksson appearing in tithing and register of population from 1653 until 1663, then Simmon Hiiroinen 1670, 1671 and 1673. The farm's name Karvala arising from the Henry Waltersson Karvainen , who in 1704 married Annika Pålsdotter from Flatåsen, daughter of Skägga -Lasse, settling in Southern Viggen. After their descendants, which were to inhabit hemmansdelen, get this name Karvala.

Mid-Flatåsen (Latasa) in Nyskoga was added tax in 1656 to 1/8 homestead, then it was a new building. Paul in Flatåsen pays 10 kegs rye in the tenth year 1651. The years 1652-71 and 1677's Anders Persson of the family Hartikainen busy on Flatåsen . In 1654 he pays - Priest Anders which he termed - 6 Quarters rye in the tenth, so even 1664. In the population register in 1667 he returns known as Priest Anders, likewise in 1669 and 1671. This name appears to have been due to the vicar of New and Dalby years 1656 -59, which also served as chaplain därstädes, 1637-51 was half Spickebol, on whose lands the Middle Flatåsen included.Per Andersson is in the father's place in the 1663-year population register. During Priest Anders Hartikainens time in the Middle Flatåsen became homestead tax added.

Priest Anders died 100 years old, the 10/1 1732. From his sons Henry, Anders and Mattes came three generations to inhabit Middle-Flatåsen. The last occupied homestead in New parish utskog is Digerberget(SOV) vrml.fi. Rammala (= ramal). Earliest in the lengths listed are: 1655 Lasse 10 f. Rye, Erik ibid. 2 f., 1660 Per Persson 10 f.rye, 1661 Per Persson 16 f. rye. 1661 ml. Per Persson on ljusnässkogen 2 p. 3 household = 5. The same one is in lengths from 1660 to the 1680's; son Eskil first GGN 1671-92, 1695 ff.Per Eskilsson.

On thing 14/5 1657 "Afsades, if Per Persson, who hath sat Neder without praise and memory, nor taketh thence be his nest be burned." But this was not the but instead got Per his croft that has been a new building tax added 1/4 homestead 1665. The 23/6 1686 searched ljusnäsbor the thing say, "that the Finns Per Persson and Eskil Persson Digerberget on Ljusnäs lands might sentenced thence, and that the village must take the croft and estimate for this with the support of lagmansdom 15/5 1657 which condemned the Finns ". This was upheld not, without the landowners in the village would get by was his ägorätt 15 crowns to the 4th floor rye they have already received in 1684, and Digerberget dedicated lands after a few mentioned the men settlement made on the parties. Nordmann writes (p. 25f.): "Esko Rämäinen, cruelly strong, founded Digerberget" and (p. 103) "brought flour only 2 goals.This saved him when he first evening stabbed case, and ate raw arrowhead ". - This is wrong there, it was Esko father reduced in Digerberget. Esko Rämäinen died 26/6 1711 100 years old. Per brother died 21/11 1725 aged 86. Esko had sons Nils, b. 1679 d. 1764, and Per, the daughters Kerstin, Britta, Gertrude and Annika. In Southern Finnskogaare Shall Pelvic 1/4 sk. the first Finn homestead and became occupied in 1647 by Olof Koo (Lehmoinen) on Hjällstads lands, tillökt 1649 tax added 1/4 homestead in 1653. It is also the first listed Finn homestead in Dalby parish. Tithes paid by Olof Matsson Koo already in 1647, iefirst tenth (2 f. rye) is supported by the Finns in Upper Älvdalen in Värmland. On thing 29/11 1652 "concluded that Olof Matsson Koo on Skull Creek in Dalby parish should afdelas as much as he should have at their crofts and new construction from bolbyn Gällstad in the same parish." Olof Matsson Koo stands in assessments and assessment unit from 1647 until 1673rd

Olof Matsson Lehmoinen meet the very first written in Näsrämmen the current Rämmen, including the years 1642, 1644 and 1646, but said in domboken 29/8 1649, when the question is whether the taxes paid for the years 1645-46, to be "pulled" (thus Shall brook). - He is my mother's family's (RB's) ancestor in Sweden.

Next Finn homestead in Southern Finnskoga is Kindsjön busy at Branäs lands in 1649, tillökt 1653 and tax added to ¼ homestead 1656. The interest from Kindsjön and Bjurberget has been allocated to pay for sheriff in Älvdalsvägen District and after the counties CONDUCT OF THE division in 1745 to the Bailiff of the lower things the team.

In Kindsjön lived and paid Marten Staffansson Tenhuinen tenth the first time in 1651 and 1654 have two own and five household domicile. 1658 12 people have been recorded, then reduce the number and then reached again the same figure only in 1718. Mårten in Kindsjön had a son Mattes that during the time he lived in Aspberget was surnamed Thennund (p. 138). Nordmann says, that Anders Tenhuinen from Rautalampi occupied Kindsjön. Now that is true, that Mårten has a son Anders as well as his descendants will take over Kindsjön. If Marten infyttade directly from Finland, most, if not all, of his children were born there.

Marten Staffansson Tenhuinen was a wealthy pimple; myrslogar, which Slättne and Tutstad disputed about 1717, had been förpantade to him. He had nine known children: sons Olof, PAL (moving to Elgsjön), Anders, Mattes, Henry, Staffan and three daughters. - Mattes slew his brother Olof in 1667 and became livdömd; he had occupied half Aspberget and sold it to Mats Mohall and his brother, Henry; Anders Mårtensson stands for Kindsjön 1654-61, 1666-81, and his father Marten 1651-57, 1660-65. Röjden , ¼ called. in Southern Finnskoga, was occupied in 1649, tillökt 1653 and was to have been a settlement tax added 1/4 homestead. It is first in earth books busy as new construction on Transtrands lands, afterwards always Möre lands. From homestead secreted as treasury 1/8 homestead Fall Torp in 1767 andTolgraven 1766 with Röjden unchanged as ¼ homestead. - AHalinen occupied Röjden (Nordmann page 26).

On 20-21 May 1653 waived in the presence of Governor Tönnes Langman that Philippus Mattson at Röjden, after the note he had received from f. governor island hopping Stake, possess their crofts omolesterad, no bolby shall have to protest to him about the birth of money or otherwise, but he shall refrain with its traditionally fish in the water, which belonged to bolbyn.

Philip and Jons pay 1650 4 f. rye listed tenth, likewise in 1651. Philip Matsson was the owner of half Röjden. Except these two pay Lars tenth in 1651. The following year, Philip 2 in manpower and Jons in Röjckgåsen (?)

Philip is most evenly busy until 1676. The years 1677-79 stated "no harvest". Then Röjden spoiled by the enemies. Son of Philip's Olof Filipsson who mortgaged his fourth to Anders Andersson 28/1 1696. The son of Philip Olsson managed to not repatriate hemmansdelen 1706. A son to him lived later in Röjden.Jons, available in lengths of 1650-57 and 1666, may not have left the male heir for himself or have it moved from Röjden.

Bjurberget Southern Finnskoga is busy (at Möre lands) as new construction 1650, tillökt 1653 and the tax added in 1656 to ¼ homestead. Its Finnish name Neuvoila will of the family name Neuvoinen. The first mentioned is Philippus who together with Johan tithe in 1650; one more time, John not mentioned. Philippus then stands alone to 1657. It is the first time registered in the population register in 1652 with 3 people in manpower. His full name is Philip Persson Neuvoinen. - 1658 is Jons Philipson written in length with 2 private and 9 household; it is most domicile to 1745, when they amounted to 12 people. Pilip Persson Neuvoinen had five known sons, Jons, Henry, Peter, Eric, Philip and daughter Britta. Bjurberget was shared between Jons and Philip:

Henrik Filipsson (56 years old in 1715) Henrik Henriksson f. 1736 Tomas Filipssonf. 1679 Filip Tomasson f. 1718 Nils Tomasson f. 1730 Old Filip Persson's heirs have held Bjurberget several segments and branching; inter alia has 6 pieces. sitting in the District Board.

If around the mountain in the Southern Finnskoga notified of Nordmann, p. 26: "Nils and Christopher Havuinen, acc. own task at home from 'Suomen Turusta', had settled, the former in Äppelbo the latter in Kringsbärget ". Around the hill was occupied in 1650 and tillökt then Kringberg July 1, 1653 are allowed to separately disclose as large contracts that can make reasons for ¼ homestead tax added 1/4 homestead 1659. As bolby mentioned Hjällstad 1653, Transtrand 1656, then cook vision is applied between the new building as Per Henriksson Abor and bolbyn Transtrand. In the future (1684-86) stands around the mountain on Benteby Bolstad.

Around the mountain, which was occupied by Per Henriksson , sheriff for the Finns, was sheriff farm during his time. He pays 1 remote. rye in the tenth 1651, and 1652 are husband and wife mantalskrivna, 1657 own two and four household. The 24/3 1670 was told to Per Henriksson, who sold the cottage to Johan Bertilsson in Kringberg, the next thing will let him get a proper bill of sale. Johan Bertilsson Kempe, brother of Erik Bertilson Southern Viggen, gets through this purchase owners around the mountain, which he sold in 1678 to Tomas Henriksson Havuinen , which "et sharp and intelligent people" come to around the mountain.Tomas Henriksson, died in 1693, was the first Finn in Älvdalsvägen District Board (1682-90). His son Christopher Tomasson was born c. 1645 - Per Henriksson's family name is unknown. With Tomas Henriksson came genera Havuinen to around the mountain. If Älgsjön 1/8 sk. Southern Finnskoga stated in the earth's book in 1668: "Elgsjön hast been a settlement but is now tax added 1/4 homestead. The uptake of the Right Honorable Hugo Hamilton's estate. "In domboken 13/6 1668 states:" Once the tax was Elgsjön in Moere Dalby parish 1/4 greater than 2 but mil from bolbyn, and Mr Hamilton's nobility. " In domboken 26/7 1685 announced that Elgsjön been busy at Backa lands: so was affirmed also in 1727 by a judge. 1693 was Elgsjön reduced to 1/8 homestead. Elgsjön occupied by Kindsjöborna 1650, and 1655 pay Paul in Kindsjön tenth of Elgsjön and 1657 are Paul and Mattes mantalskrivna there with 2 in manpower was. Mattes is then written to 1661 and Paul Mårtensson to 1667. 1664-77 stands Erik Eriksson busy in tithing and register of population; He is probably in-law to Paul. 1679 Elgsjön is spoiled by the enemies. 1685 affirmed the Board that the homestead was claimed by the Finn Adam Eriksson sack half, but the second half, as Nils HARELIPPED åbodde, had been deserted from 1675, when he departed from there. This latter part was occupied by Urbanus Matsson Hacken , who has been in the service of Marten Staffansson in Kindsjön, and after him by his son, Adam. Later stood Elgsjön at times desolate and 1728 uppbjöds 1/3 of Lars Andersson from the Mull pond that had bought the ticket by Adam Urbanusson and acquired the property of Urbanus' heirs, then went over to Tomas Henriksson Bjurberget who became the owner of all Elgsjön. Medskogen Southern Finnskoga recorded to be included on Persby 1652, tillökt 1653 and stands as new construction to 1659 when it will be tax added ¼ homestead. On May 20, 1653 were medskogsfinnen Johan Johansson Veteläinen construction bill by governor Tönnes Langman four-year tax exemption for the two years he already enjoyed - tax plant were counted thus with six freedom from taxes from the increase in 1653 - but already in 1650 paid John and Philip, tenth, and 1652 are Johan in Medskogbusy in the population register. If bebyggaren writes M. Axelson (p. 159): " Wäddelainen built Midskogen, " (M. Axelson, Hiking in Wermlands Elfdal and find forests, Stockholm 1852, p. 159.) , and Nordmann (p. 26): "Sharp-Johan Finland occupied the Midtskogen ". In the legends he is called Jo Vedlan (cf. page 122 o. 124), ie Juho Veteläinen . - According to the building permit 20/5 1653 has he enjoyed two years of freedom, so it is reasonable to specify Medskogen as busy 1651, not from the payment of the tenth 1650. In a tale of Segerstedts collections described Johan Vedelainen in Medskogen very rich. He built a house with two floors and are also said to have used the wig as the future lords, why Dalecarlians, then they traveled by with their forgings to the Base Priced market took off their hats to him. He stabbed many cases in the extensive forests around and got much rye, which he partly sold in Bergslagen for 2 plates barrel.

Johan Vedelainen stands alone written in the lengths 1652-57, 1660-67, his son Daniel 1671-1706, Erik alone in the population register in 1658, 1659 and together with Daniel in 1673; Daniel Johansson died in 1707, Johan Danielsson 1720th

If Järpliden Southern Finnskoga announced in Segerstedts collections of Olof Matsson Igel Sjoberg Jacob Vedelainen (= Veteläinen) settled in Järpliden. Someone else, Jacob was not at that time than that occupied Öjeberg and paid tithes already in 1647. Axelson states (p. 159): " Toppo Hongoinen built the first Öfra or Greater Hjerpliden and then Borangen . Heikki [of the family Ilmoisia ] built Nedra Hjerpe Liden c. 100 years [later].Staffan Huskoinen built Husketorp East [s] of Hjerpliden. " In domboken 6/8 1665 states: "The second was found to jerpelundh (!) Be that of herads proof of June 15, 1663 seemingly tax added in 1649 and located on the casing old häfd half Another mil from the farm west towards the Norwegian border ... and utvistes be tax added in 1649 and välb Hugo Hamilton got the first holes to frelse 1651. "The task of tax facility in 1649 is obviously incorrect. Because it is contained in the earth's book in 1659: "jerpeliden hast been a new building and is now 1659 tillökt to ¼ homestead".

1653 pay Mickel tenth of Jerpliden first time and in 1654 is "Mickel wijdh Hjerpe Liden" busy in the population register with 2 private and 2 household, and is busy in lengths of 1653-61, 1665, Christopher Mickelsson 1665-76; Mattes pay tithe 1654. 1677-79 is Järpliden spoierat of enemies and 1680 is penniless.1693 found only smoke in Järpliden, namely Par Mickelsson , except lösfinnar who lived there. - Gottlund (pp. 369, 371) mentions the Järpliden 5 yards 60 people; Most are said to be of the family Honkainen .

Envy ridge in Southern Finnskoga the Finnish name Kymölä , the name Kymöinen . In domboken 15/6 1663 states that Envy sauce is tax imposed on Southern Persbys forest 2 1/3 mil from the farm to the west and the soil guide in 1668, the Envy sauce "hath been a new building and are now tax added ¼ homestead". Välb. Hugo Hamilton "hath vederkänt" because it is busy on his donationshemmans lands, and in domboken 13/6 1668 there is recorded: "Tax Added Afundsåsen during Persbyn, tax added for ¼ and Hamilton's nobility." M. Axelson (p. 159): " Kymmenenbuilt Afundsåsen , hviket also first called Kymelä . "In Segerstedts collections are said to Henry Kymainen took home the Afundsåsen.He Henrik is not included in any tax length and are also not otherwise known. The 11/10 1688 showed Mattes Mattson in Envy sauce governor's remissorial to receive a claim that there is Samuel Henriksson him pretenderade, but the Finn was not consenting, why the matter could not be resolved. He Samuel could perhaps be Henrik Kymainens son.

The first to appear in the records are old Mattes Matsson was born in Gästrikland before Hannibal feud (slightly over 100 years old when he died in Febr. and was buried 14/3 1725). He is listed in the population register the first time in 1658 as "Matz Matesån Affundzåhssen" with 2 private and 2 household in manpower and 1661 Mathes with 2 own and 13 household, the highest antlet mantalsskivna there before 1765. A younger Mats, "dränga Mats" called , for acting out half the homestead, about which were resolved in 1671, trade between Mattes Matsson and his brother-young Mats Matsson would like to buy be determined. - Cf.Mägiste, Varmland Finnish place names, p. 301, Gottlund page.372, SOV XIV, p. 25th Stations Tarn in Southern Finnskoga: SOV Mackar Tarn ¼ tax;Finnish name Nikkarila. Carpenter Lars is the first omnämnde at this location. In the tenth length in 1651 and 1655 are admitted Lars and Mattes. 1657 is the first year when someone is listed in the population register: Mattes, together 3 persons, 1658, 1661 with 2 own and 6 household. 1659 3 people have been recorded: wife, son and daughter. 1660 is Mackar Tarn recorded fate. The population register in 1673 is 10, and 1676 is 2 in manpower.1676 and 1677 were farm spoiled by the enemy. Right from the start living in Mackar Tarn families Joiner Lasse and Mattes of the family "Hyttian", who had relatives in Mullingar Tarn and took half were in Mackar Tarn. Stations Tarn, who has been a settlement, the tax was added in 1656 to ¼ homestead, situated on the Southern Transtrands utägor. Joiner's Lasse had three known children: son Mattes and daughters Lisbet and Kerstin, Mattes had his son Henrik Mattson. Skråckarberget ¼ known. (F. Vilhula ) is the last occupied Finn homestead in Southern Finnskoga. Olof Vilhuinen occupied Skråckeberget (cf. Nordmann p. 26). According domboken 15/6 1663 Skråckeberget oskattlagt and located at Uggenäs properties and 26/9 1665 tax partitioned Skråckeberget Tutstads on lands that were tenant WALB. H. Hamilton, the ¼ homestead and land book in 1665 announced that Skråckeberget been a new building and now are tax added ¼ homesteads occupied by the bailiff Gilius Giliussons builders form the 30/10 1656, which framteddes at häradssyn 1735, given to Olof Henriksson, father then skråckebergsbor. 1654 paid the Olof in Skråckeberg chronograph tenth for the first time, two years before he got the construction bill and eleven years before the homestead tax added. If this was the tenth of the first harvest he had felled stung the first time in 1652, since the tithe betaltes with rye; In 1655, he had the grain harvest. 1654 had Olof Henriksson own 2 and 2 household domicile, and he is in Skråckeberg busy until 1667. His son Anders are then written 1675-93. Nils stands in 1671 alone and 1681 with Anders. 1676-79 Skråckeberget was devastated by the enemies. - Ang. nameVilhula , cf. Mägiste, Varmland Finnish place names, p. 775th

Svedjehamn Finns conquest of Älvdals forests went ahead with astonishing speed and efficiency. In just over a decade from the first reductions in the far south was completed with the settlement on Aspberget the envelope forest around 1660. At this time or possibly slightly earlier got a couple of brothers Lars and Per Hakkare (Hakkarainen), sons Per Hakkarainen at Nain on the eastern Ekshaerad forests (see p. 79), and settled on the shell forest.

Old dwelling house at Larsgården in Aspberget, Northern Finnskoga sn, Värml. Around the same time came a third pimple and settled on Aspberget, Mats Tenhuinen from Kindsjön (cf. p. 130), and with these three inhabitants had pimples on its march through Alvdal forests reached the province's northern tip. Settlements known ascasing forest in the register of population in 1661, 1666 and 1667 but Aspberget in the tenth lengths and for 1667 in all lengths.

The Clements family of Cecil Co. MD descends from a Swedish Finn by the name of Clement Joransson who arrived in New Sweden, Delaware in 1641. He was joined by his son, Anders, in 1654. The family surname of "Clements" actually came from Clement Joransson’s given name. The Swedes and Finns did not commonly have surnames. Their children were given a name and then referred to as the son or daughter of "their father's given name". As an example, the son of Clement Joransson, whose given name was Anders, then became "Anders Clementsson". (Had there been a daughter born, she would have been known by her given name, followed by "Clementsdotter".)

Clement JORANASSON was born in 1600 in Sunne Parish, Finland and died unknown. He had one child, a son named Anders. His wife may have been Cherstin UNKNOWN.

He was one of the earliest settlers in New Sweden, Delaware. His arrivial in Colonial America in 1641 was, however, not of his own choosing. His homeland of Sunne Parish, Finland, had become part of Sweden. He was one of the "Finnish farmers who practiced slash and burn agriculture common in Finland, but not popular in Sweden, whose government had deemed the practice to be a crime, calling it burn-beating." Clement was convicted of "burn-beating" by the Swedish government in 1641 and sentenced to "settlement in New Sweden".

In 1654, thirteen years after Clement was forced to leave his wife and son in Sweden, his son, Anders, joined him in New Sweden.

Anders Clementson, aka. Andrew Clements, arrived in New Sweden in Colonial America in May 1654 on board the ship, "The Orne (Eagle)" to join his father. The ship had sailed from Gothenborg, Sweden in February 1654. Upon his arrival in New Sweden, he served as a soldier at Fort Christina. In 1655, New Sweden was captured by the Dutch and some of the Swedish Finns left the colony and moved to Maryland, including Andrew,his wife, Ingeborg, and two sons, Clement and Andrew.

Andrew was granted "denization" by the government of Maryland on July 29, 1661. A 400 acre tract of land on the south side of the Elk River was surveyed for "Andrew Clemerson" on July 29, 1662. Andrew's plantation, called "Clemerson" was located in Cecil Co. MD. He became a naturalized citizen in Maryland on June 6, 1674. On his naturalization papers,he was described as a Swede, formerly of New Amstel, Delaware.

Andrew's name is mentioned in the Maryland Deed Book on August 3, 1668 regarding a land transaction of Hendrick Hendrickson. It reads as follows: "Hendrick Hendrickson, planter, and wife Junibar, for 1200 pounds of tobacco, conveying to William Howard, planter, the tracts "Hendrick" and "Hendrickson" of 50 acres each, on the south side and at the mouth of Elk River, one tract adjoining land formerly taken up by Andrew Clements."

Andrew's will was written July 30, 1685 and proven October 11, 1687 in Cecil Co. MD. A summary of that will is recorded in the Maryland Callendar of Wills. It reads as follows: "To son Andrese, 150 A., To sons Crales (this could be either Clement or Cornelius, as the names of neither of these sons are mentioned elsewhere in the will; however, it is more likely that it is Cornelius because it was a common practice among early colonists to omit the name of the eldest son from their will because they generally received the major portion of the estate and the rest of the sons would be named, giving the portion of the estate that they would receive) and John and to 3 young. sons, viz., Henry, Michael, and Matthew, each 50 A, To wife (her name is not given), extx., dower rights. Test: Richard Daggett, Gisbert Coxe, Hewe Rice, Henry Riggs, Ann Hewes, Mary Beadle.

Anders CLEMENTSON was born in 1640 in prob. Sunne Parish, Varmland, Sweden. Anders died in Cecil Co. MD on 11 Oct 1687, he was 47. Anders married Ingeborg UNKNOWN. They had the following children, all born in Cecil Co. MD: i. Clement (~1660-~1704) ii. Andrew (1662-~1704) iii. Cornelius (~1664-1714) iv. John (~1667-1709) v. Henry (~1672-1709) vi. Michael (1680-~1726) vii. Jacob (~1674-1709) viii. Matthias (1682-1709)

See the Copy of the 1685 Will from the Cecil County Courthouse

The most researched "band" of Cecil Co. MD Clements are descendants of three brothers, Andrew, Joseph, and Cornelius Clements, sons of Gabriel Clements (proven grandson of Anders Clementsson) and Sarah who were residents of Cecil Co. MD in the very early 1700s and their five children are listed in the birth register of St. Stephens Parish. Gabriel died leaving four sons and a daughter, all minors.

Apparently, Andrew, Joseph and their brother, Cornelius decided to leave their native Cecil Co. MD in the company of Andrew's father-in-law, Edward Brown, and join the large group of Americans who were venturing south into Virginia and further into North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. Colonial records of Georgia and South Carolina have placed Andrew, Joseph, and Cornelius in those states dating from 1749.

Research from: Kaye Lanier, Todd Priest, Dr. Peter Craig, and many others. Clement was born about 1600. Clement Jöranasson ... He passed away after 1648.

GEDCOM Note

Notes for Clement J

Clement JORANASSON was born in 1600 in Sunne Parish, Finland and died unknown. He had one child, a son named Anders. His wife may have been Cherstin UNKNOWN. (see note below)
----------------------------------------------------

The Clements family of Cecil Co. MD descends from a Swedish Finn by the name of Olof Seppa; the name "Seppa" is the actual "Farm" that the Family lived and worked on.

Olof Seppa was born in 1490 ; in Punkalaidun, a municipality of Finland. It is located in the province of Western Finland and is part of the Pirkanmaa region. He as well as his son's and grandsons all the way down to Clement Joransson were listed as "Talollinen" which translate to mean: The Farmer himself, Master, An Independant Lodger who paid taxes for the farm he inheirited, or paid to live on the farm or in the cottage, often a craftsman or retired soldier. I cannot find any more information on him except for what is added under "stories".

Clement Jorransson was one of the earliest settlers in New Sweden, Delaware. His arrivial in Colonial America in 1641 was, however, not of his own choosing. His homeland of Sunne Parish, Finland had been part of the kingdom of Sweden since the 12th century.The Swedes occupied the southern part of the Scandinavian peninsula along with the Norwegians who were of identical stock as the Swedes. Finland was located in the northern part of the peninsula.The Finns were a branch of the Finno-Ugrians, a division of the Ural Altaic family which lived in the Ural Mountains. Other Europeans from this same family stock included the Magyars of Hungary, many of the Russian racial groups, the Estonians, the Latvians, and others.These Finno-Ugrians were basically nomads and great hunters who dwelt in the forests rather than on the plains. They were unwarlike and had little desire for political organization. Their nomadic tendency had brought many of them into Sweden where there was an abundance of forest land. There they cleared the land by burning the trees, a method deemed "extravagant and promiscuous" by the Swedes.By the 17th century Sweden was considered to be one of the "great, political powers" in Europe and one of the major military powers during the Thirty Years' War. It encompassed part of Norway, all of Finland, parts of present-day Russia, Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, and Germany.When the other European Powers of England, France, Spain, and Potugal began colonizing the American continent, Sweden, perhaps imspired by the riches gathered by their European neighbors from the over seas colonies, decided to "extend its influence to the New World also. In 1637, Swedish, German, and Dutch stockholders formed the New Sweden Company to trade for furs and tobacco in North America."The first expedition sailed from Sweden later that year in two ships and reached Delaware Bay in March 1638. The settlers began building a fort at the site of present-day Wilmington, Delaware and named it Fort Christina in honor of Sweden's twelve-year-old queen. It was the first permanent European settlement in the Delaware Valley.The land was heavily forested and the Swedish government, thought that the Swedish Finns would be "well-qualified" as potential settlers who would quickly tame the forrests and turn them into "producing farms", after all, there was an unlimited supply of wild animals for hunting and plenty of forests to burn.Word was sent out, offering the Swedish-Finns inducement to emigrate to the New Sweden Colony "voluntarily", but if enough did not do so, then the government would "capture the forest-destroyers", charge them with a crime, and sentence them to banishment to the New Sweden Colony.Clement Joransson was one of the "Finnish farmers who practiced slash and burn agriculture" and was also one of the citizens who was captured by the Swedish government, convicted of "burn-beating" and sentenced to "settlement in New Sweden" in 1641. He was one of twenty-seven people who set sail from Gothenburg, Sweden aboard the "Kalmer Nyckel " in July, 1641, and arrived at New Sweden on November 7, 1641.His wife and son were left behind in Sweden. NOTE: This writer found a record on the internet, part of it in Swedish where "Clemet Joransson and his wife Cherstin were the parents of a son, Anders Clementsson born in Sund, Nordingra per Andersson Bonde fran 1608 til 1643. I don't know if this is our Anders Clementson, or not, but decided to record it here so as to "keep the record".New Sweden colonial records show that Clement is listed as a laborer in the cultivation of tobacco on the Plantation at Upland in1644. In 1648, he is listed as a "freeman" and had been given land farther north in some of the "untamed wilderness" of the colony.Thirteen years after Clement was forced to leave his wife and son in Sweden, his son, Anders, joined him in New Sweden.Joe Clement, a descendant of Clement who is a DNA match with my uncle's DNA test, and, lke me, is still searching for his "unknown" link to this Clements family line, corresponded with a member of the Delaware Valley Finnish Society to see if they had any information on Clement or his son, Anders. He was sent the following story regarding an incident between Clement and the Governor of the Colony in 1654. Some of the colonists had lodged a complaint against Gov. Johan Printz over the treatment of the colonists, saying "thus we have been treated more against law than according to law. For example, Clement the Finn had a hand-mill, together with Anders, Johan, and Mans the Finn(s). Clement bought the mill from the other Finns, and when he had got the mill, he goes for it and fetches it home to his house. When this was done he immediately told the Governor about it. Afterwards, when Clement came to church on a general day of prayer, the Governor called Clement to him before the sermon, asks why he has taken the mill. Clement answered, 'The mill is mine. ' Then the Governor said, 'Well you rascal, take the mill without asking me about it?' He then seized Clement and struck him, first in the hall and followed him with blows until he fell down, and he struck him further on the ground so that he lost his health from it. In addition, he threw him into the church, and on the day after he caused him to be taken to Christina, to the prison, where he lay for 8 days. When he had recovered somewhat, he took him out and let him work for some few weeks." This is the last official record we have for Clement.Between1637 and 1655, Sweden sent 13 passenger ships to New Sweden colony with 800 prospective settlers. Of these, about 400 of the immigrants became permanent settlers.The New Sweden colony was unique among the American colonies in that they insisted on purchasing rights to share the land with the native Indians, who were not excluded from the land, but continued to live among the Swedes. The lands purchased by New Sweden extended from the Falls of the Delaware, near present-day Trenton, down to the mouth of the Delaware Bay at Cape May.Because of their fair treatment of the Indians, the Swedish settlers on the Delaware, were the only ones in all of North America who never had any wars with Native Indians.
The Swedish flag flew over the Delaware region for 17 years. The end of the colony came in1655 when it was overtaken by the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam. After the Dutch took over the colony, many of the settlers returned to their native land of Sweden. However, a large group of the settlers stayed in the area. The Dutch quickly recognized the Finn's ability to survive in the wilderness and encouraged them to stay, including Clement Joransson and his son, Anders.The family surname of "Clements" actually came from Clement's given name. The Swedes and Finns did not commonly have surnames. Their children were given a name and then referred to as the son or daughter of "their father's given name". As an example, a male child of Clement Joransson whose given name was Anders then became "Anders Clementsson". (Had there been a daughter born, she would have been known by her given name, followed by "Clementsdotter".)

Finnbosättningar på Älvdals härads utskogar http://www.nordvarmland.com/istid/page.php?id=939 http://www.nordvarmland.com/istid/page.php?id=939

Den finska kolonisationen av Norra Fryksdalens skogsbygder genomföres under 1640-talet från och med bebyggelserna i Fryksände sockens västra utskogar kring Rottnan och Lekvattenssjöarna till och med upptagandet av Rattsjöberget före årtiondets slut. I omedelbar anslutning härtill fortsätter den finska bebyggelsrörelsen vidare norrut in på Älvdals härads västliga skogsområden med nedsättningar i söder på Ny sockens utskogar i det nuvarande Nyskoga. Här upptages först Norra Flatåsen eller Öjeberget, Södra Flatåsen och Tjärnberget, alla 1646, snabbt följda av bosättningar kring 1650-talets ingång, fortsatta över hela det vidsträckta skogsområdet norrut till landskapets nordspets. Den finska hemmansbildningen illustreras här i fortsättningen med redogörelser för viktigare bosättningar hemman för hemman i socknarna Nyskoga, Södra och Norra Finnskoga. Denna framställning är baserad huvudsakligen dels på excerptmaterial från egna undersökningar av kamerala handlingar, såsom jordeböcker, tiondelängd- och mantalslängder, domböcker m.m., dels och framför allt på likartat material ur Bäckvalls Elfdalsarkiv i Nordiska museet. Norra Flatåsen eller Öjeberget. På Månäs' ägor i Norra Ny sockens utskog (nuv. Nyskoga) upptog finnarna Jacob (med okänt släktnamn) och Skägga Lasse Himainen nybyggen 1646, som tillöktes 1649 och skattlades för ¼ skattehemman 1653. Den förste bebyggaren är Jacob 1646, men redan följande år bor två bönder i Norra Flatåsen, Jacob, som erlägger 6 fjärdingar råg i tionde och jämte honom Skägga Lars, som betalar 4 fjärdingar råg i kronotionde och tydligen varit på platsen samtidigt med Jacob. Denne senare står upptagen på hemmanet till 1655, då i hans ställe inträder Henrik Matsson och med honom en ny släkt,Moijainen. Henrik står i fortsättningen upptagen till 1667 och efter honom sonen Nils Henriksson (död 1722), medan Jacob efter 1655 ej vidare förekommer i Norra Flatåsen och försvinner till okänd ort. Skägga Lars står för sin del av hemmanet till 1665, då hans son Pål övertager gården, och avlider 80 år gammal 27/5 1698. Pål Pålsson Himainen tager vid efter honom och är död 1712. Dennes son Anders Pålsson är född 1694. Södra Flatåsen (Monkamäki) i Nyskoga. Den första bebyggaren i Södra Flatåsen heter Clemmet Månsson. I jordeboken uppgives, att Clemmet upptagit Kärnberget, en uppgift som inte stämmer med mantalslängderna (tydligen är han felförd på Kärnberget, jfr. strax nedan). Enligt jordeboken uppgives Clemmet i Kärnberg ha upptagit Södra Flatåsen på Månäs' ägor som nybyggare 1646, fått det tillökt 1649 och skattlagt till 1/8 hemman 1653. Clemmet Månsson betalade tionde 1647 och står kvar på hemmanet till 1656. Vid ting den 20/6 1656 klagades över att Clemmet i Flatåsen fällt över häradsrået och sått sveden, innan han reste till Västindien (dvs. Nya Sverige, Delaware). Mattes Nilsson Moijainenstår skriven i längderna för Södra Flatåsen åren 1657-87. Troligen köpte han Södra Flatåsen då Clemmet reste bort. - Monkamäki avser egentligen den tillhörande delen på

Mangslidberget (Monkamäki). Tjärnberget (SOV) i Nyskoga, ä. skr. Kärnberg, finskt Konkari, vrml.fi. Gångar. I jordeboken 1650 och 1652 står Clemmet i Kärnbergh liksom Jacob i Flatåsen för nybyggen upptagna 1646, tillökta 1649. Härmed avses helt riktigt Jacob i Norra Flatåsen samt Kärnbergs upptagningsår. Clemmet däremot är här liksom i 1653 års mantalslängd felförd; han är förste bebyggare i Södra Flatåsen. Jämför strax ovan. För Tjärnberget står finnen Påvel i Kärnberg förd i mantals- och tiondelängderna från 1652, till och med 1667 och har i mantal 3 personer år 1652, 7 1654 och 6 1655. Från 1671 till 1677 står sonen Henrik i längderna. - Pål Henriksson hade sönerna Henrik, Erik, Johan och Pål. De tre sistnämnda avled resp. 1701 och 1735, 85 år gamla, och 1699, 44 år gammal. Enligt en gammal skrift, daterad 24 augusti utan årtal, hittad i Kärnberg i taket på en nedriven bod och framvisad för rätten 11/9 1717, hade tre underskrivna personer i Ljusnäs i Ny socken försålt en skogstrakt, kallad Kärnberget, till Påvel Henriksson för 30 rdr, 6 tr råg samt ett rågfall, på vilken skogstrakt han är sinnad att uppröja, bygga och bebo och därpå taga fasta; gränserna för skogstrakten är givna. (Denna skrift blev efter begäran inquantum juris antecknad.) - Meddelande i Bäckvalls Elfdalsarkiv, Nord. Museet. Viggen utgöres av nybyggen upptagna i Norra Ny utskog på Månäs' ägor 1650, tillökta 1653 och skattlagda till 1/4 hemman 1657. De redovisas tillhopa fram till 1670-talet, därefter vart och ett för sig som Norra och Södra Viggen: Norra Viggen (Vaissila). Den förste som byggde där var Anders Pålsson Vaissinen, som erlade tionde 1650 och år 1654 i mantal hade 6 personer, varav 2 egna och 4 husfolk. Han står i längderna från 1650 till 1675 och har sönerna Pål, Tomas, Johan och Anders samt döttrarna Karin, Annika och Marit. Sonen Pål Andersson är död 1690, Tomas 1698 och Johan 1710. Enligt domboken den 3/5 1680 vittnade kyrkoherde Ericus Nicolai, att ”i den sista danska fejdetiden hafver fienden från Norge för den gamle och eländige mannen Pål Andersson förstört hans kronoskattehemman i Ny socken och därifrån icke allenast bortfört all hans fattiga egendom, ihjälslagit hans gamla föräldrar, hvarmedelst ofvanbemälde Påvel Andersson i dessa förledne ofredstider suttit uti stor fattigdom och står tillbaka med try utlagor för ovanbemälte hemman”. - Samma år resolverade Kungl. Maj:t på allmogens enskilda besvär för Elfdals härad, att åborna i Viggen, ”hvars skattehemman af fienden sköflat och uppbrändt är och föräldrarna ihjälslagna måtte eftergifvas tre års innestående utlagor”. Efter Pål Vaissinen står sonen Pål i fortsättningen till 1680 och dennes bröder Anders och Tomas. Södra Viggen (Karvala) upptogs vid samma tid som Norra Viggen (enligt Nordmann sid. 26) av Matts Pöntinen (Petrus Nordmann, Finnarne i mellersta Sverige, Helsingfors 1888.) och skattlades tillhopa med Norra Viggen till ¼ skattehemman enligt jordeboken 1656. Bägge bebyggelserna redovisas i tionde- och mantalslängderna tillsammans och var för sig enligt ovan först från och med mitten av 1670-talet. Mathes Isaksson står upptagen i tionde- och mantalslängderna från 1653 till och med 1663, därefter Simmon Hiiroinen 1670, 1671 och 1673. Gårdens namn Karvala uppkommer till följd av attHenrik Ersson Karvainen, som 1704 gift sig med Annika Pålsdotter från Flatåsen, dotter till Skägga-Lasse, slår sig ned i Södra Viggen. Efter deras efterkommande, som framdeles bebor hemmansdelen, får denna namnet Karvala. Mellan-Flatåsen (Latåsa) i Nyskoga blev skattlagt 1656 till 1/8 hemman, sedan det varit ett nybygge. Påvel i Flatåsen erlägger 10 fjärdingar råg i tionde år 1651. Åren 1652-71 och 1677 ärAnders Persson av släkten Hartikainen upptagen på Flatåsen. År 1654 betalar denne - Präst Anders som han benämnes - 6 fjärdingar råg i tionde, så även 1664. I mantalslängden 1667 återkommer han under benämningen Präst Anders, likaså 1669 och 1671. Denna benämning synes ha berott på att kyrkoherden för Ny och Dalby åren 1656-59, som även varit kaplan därstädes, 1637-51 ägde halva Spickebol, på vars ägor Mellan-Flatåsen upptagits. Per Andersson står i faderns ställe i 1663 års mantalslängd. Under Präst Anders Hartikainens tid i Mellan-Flatåsen blev hemmanet skattlagt. Präst Anders avled 100 år gammal den 10/1 1732. Från hans söner Henrik, Anders och Mattes kom tre släktled att bebo Mellan-Flatåsen. Det sist upptagna hemmanet på Ny sockens utskog ärDigerberget (SOV) , vrml.fi. Rammala (=Rämälä). Tidigast i längderna uppförda står: 1655 Lasse 10 fj. Råg, Erik ibid. 2 fj., 1660 Per Persson 10 fj. råg, 1661 Per Persson 16 fj. råg. 1661 ml. Per Persson på ljusnässkogen 2 p. 3 husfolk = 5. Densamme står i längderna från 1660-talet till in på 1680-talet; son Eskil 1:a ggn 1671-92, 1695 ff. Per Eskilsson. På ting 14/5 1657 ”Afsades, att om Per Persson, som hafver satt sig neder utan lof och minne, icke drager dädan skall hans näste uppbrännas”. Men detta blev ej av utan i stället fick Per sitt torp som har varit ett nybygge skattlagt till 1/4 hemman 1665. Den 23/6 1686 sökte ljusnäsbor vid tinget påstå, ”att finnarna Per Persson och Eskil Persson i Digerberget å Ljusnäs ägor måtte dömas dädan samt att de i byn får taga torpet och skatta för detta med stöd av lagmansdom 15/5 1657 som dömde ut finnarna”. Detta bifölls ej, utan jordägarna i byn skulle få efter var sin ägorätt 15 rdr till de 4 tr råg de redan 1684 fått, och Digerberget tillägnades ägor efter några nämndemäns förlikning gjord å parterna. Nordmann skriver (sid. 25f.): ”Esko Rämäinen, grymt stark, anlade Digerberget” och (sid. 103) ”medförde mjöl blott till 2 mål. Detta sparade han, då han första kvällen högg fall, och åt råa pilblad”. - Detta är oriktigt däri, att det var Eskos far som nedsatte sig i Digerberget. Esko Rämäinen avled 26/6 1711 100 år gammal. Brodern Per dog 21/11 1725 86 år gammal. Esko hade sönerna Nils, f. 1679 d. 1764, och Per, döttrarna Kerstin, Britta, Gertrud och Annika. Inom Södra Finnskoga är Skallbäcken 1/4 sk. det första finnhemmanet och blev upptaget 1647 av Olof Koo (Lehmoinen)på Hjällstads ägor, tillökt 1649, skattlagt till 1/4 hemman 1653. Det är också det först upptagna finnhemmanet inom Dalby socken. Tionde betalas av Olof Matsson Koo redan 1647, dvs. första gången tionde (2 fj. råg) uppbäres av finnarna i Övre Älvdalen i Värmland. På tinget 29/11 1652 ”slöts att Olof Matsson Koo på Skallbäck i Dalby socken skall afdelas så mycket han bör hafva till sitt torp och nybygge från bolbyn Gällstad i samma socken”. Olof Matsson Koo står i skattlängder och mantal från 1647 till och med 1673. Olof Matsson Lehmoinen träffas allra först skriven i Näsrämmen i nuvarande Rämmen, bl.a. åren 1642, 1644 och 1646, men säges i domboken 29/8 1649, då fråga är om erlagda skatter för åren 1645-46, vara ”bortdragen” (sålunda till Skallbäcken). - Han är min morssläkts (R.B.:s) stamfader i Sverige. Nästa finnhemmanet i Södra Finnskoga är Kindsjön upptaget på Branäs ägor 1649, tillökt 1653 och skattlagt till ¼ hemman 1656. Räntan från Kindsjön och Bjurberget har varit anslagen till lön åt länsmannen i Älvdals härad och efter häradets delning 1745 till länsmannen i det nedre tingslaget. I Kindsjön bodde och betalade Mårten Staffansson Tenhuinentionde första gången 1651 och har 1654 två egna och fem husfolk mantalsskrivna. 1658 är 12 personer mantalsskrivna, sedan minskar antalet och därefter uppnås åter samma siffra först 1718. Mårten i Kindsjön hade en son Mattes som under den tid han bodde i Aspberget hade tillnamnet Thennund (sid. 138). Nordmann uppger, att Anders Tenhuinen från Rautalampi upptagit Kindsjön. Nu förhåller det sig så, att Mårten har en son Anders som liksom hans efterkommande övertar Kindsjön. Ifall Mårten infyttade direkt från Finland var de flesta, om ej alla, hans barn födda där. Mårten Staffansson Tenhuinen var en förmögen finne; myrslogar, som Slättne och Tutstad tvistade om 1717, hade varit förpantade till honom. Han hade nio kända barn: sönerna Olof, Pål (som flyttar till Elgsjön), Anders, Mattes, Henrik, Staffan och tre döttrar. - Mattes dräpte sin broder Olof 1667 och blev livdömd; han hade upptagit halva Aspberget och sålt det till Mats Mohall och hans bror Henrik; Anders Mårtensson står för Kindsjön 1654-61, 1666-81 och hans fader Mårten 1651-57, 1660-65. Röjden, ¼ sk. inom Södra Finnskoga, blev upptaget 1649, tillökt 1653 och blev efter att ha varit ett nybygge skattlagt till 1/4 hemman. Det står först i jordeböckerna upptaget som nybygge på Transtrands ägor, sedermera alltid på Möres ägor. Ur hemmanet avsöndrades som egna 1/8 hemman Falltorp 1767 ochTolgraven 1766 med Röjden oförändrat som ¼ hemman. - EnHalinen upptog Röjden (Nordmann sid 26). Den 20-21 maj 1653 avsades i närvaro av landshövding Tönnes Langman att Philippus Mattson vid Röjden skall, efter den sedel han fått av f. landshövdingen Oluff Stake, besitta sitt torp omolesterad, ingen bolby skall hava att protestera på honom om bördspenningar eller annat, men han skall avstå med sin hävd i fiskevattnet, som hörde bolbyn till. Filippus och Jöns betalar 1650 4 fj. råg i kronotionde, likaså 1651. Filip Matsson var ägare till halva Röjden. Utom dessa två betalar Lars tionde 1651. Följande år har Filippus 2 i mantal och Jöns i Röjckgåsen (?) (eller Ruggåsen?) 2 i mantal, män och hustrur. 1657 har Filippus 4 egna och 5 husfolk och Jöns 2 egna och 4 husfolk mantalskrivna, 1658 och 1659 står Lars Larsson ensam i mantalslängderna i Röjden med 2 egna och 13 husfolk. Filippus står jämnast upptagen ända fram till 1676. Åren 1677-79 anges ”ingen skörd”. Då är Röjden spolierat av fienderna. Son till Filip är Olof Filipsson som pantsatte sin fjärdedel till Anders Andersson 28/1 1696. Sonen Filip Olsson lyckades icke återbörda hemmansdelen 1706. En son till honom bodde senare i Röjden. Jöns, som finns i längderna 1650-57 och 1666, måtte icke ha lämnat manlig arvinge efter sig eller också har denne flyttat från Röjden. Bjurberget i Södra Finnskoga är upptaget (på Möres ägor) som nybygge 1650, tillökt 1653 och skattlagt 1656 till ¼ hemman. Dess finsk namn Neuvoila kommer av släktnamnet Neuvoinen. Den förste nämnde är Philippus som tillika med Johan ger tionde 1650; någon mer gång är Johan icke nämnd. Philippus står sedan ensam till 1657 och är första gången upptagen i mantalslängden 1652 med 3 personer i mantal. Hans fullständiga namn är Filip Persson Neuvoinen. - 1658 står Jöns Philipson skriven i längden med 2 egna och 9 husfolk; det är de flesta mantalsskrivna till 1745, då de uppgick till 12 personer. Pilip Persson Neuvoinen hade fem kända söner: Jöns, Henrik, Per, Erik, Filippus och dottern Britta. Bjurberget blev delat mellan Jöns och Filip:

I

Jöns Filipsson Neuvoinen Henrik Jönsson † 14/1 1740 80 år gammal. Anders Henriksson f. 1689, nämndeman 1745-50. Gården delas mellan barnen Olof och Malin. Olof Andersson f. 1722 Henrik Olsson nämndeman 1790-92 Malin Andersdtr. f. 1713 g.m. Lars Andersson f. 1717 II

Filip Filipsson Neuvoinen g.m. Marit Tomasdtr. † 1733 92 år gammal; 12 barn. Henrik Filipsson (56 år gammal 1715) Henrik Henriksson f. 1736 Tomas Filipsson f. 1679 Filip Tomasson f. 1718 Nils Tomasson f. 1730 Gamle Filip Perssons arvingar har innehaft Bjurberget i många led och förgreningar; bl.a. har 6 st. suttit i häradsnämnden.

Om Kringsberget i Södra Finnskoga meddelas hos Nordmann, sid. 26: ”Nils och Kristoffer Havuinen, enl. egen uppgift hemma från 'Suomen turusta', hade bosatt sig, den förre i Äppelbo den senare i Kringsbärget”. Kringsberget blev upptaget 1650 och tillökt då Kringsberg den 1 juli 1653 får tillstånd att för sig röja så stor trakt att det kan göra skäl för ¼ hemman, skattlagt till 1/4 hemman 1659. Som bolby nämndes Hjällstad 1653, Transtrand 1656, då laga syn lägges mellan nybygget som Per Henriksson åbor och bolbyn Transtrand. Längre fram i tiden (1684-86) står Kringsberget på Benteby bolstad. Kringsberget, som upptogs av Per Henriksson, länsman för finnarna, var länsmansgård under hans tid. Han betalar 1 fj. råg i tionde 1651, och 1652 är man och hustru mantalskrivna, 1657 två egna och fyra husfolk. Den 24/3 1670 tillsades att Per Henriksson, som sålt torpet till Johan Bertilsson i Kringsberg, vid nästa ting skall låta denne få ett riktigt köpebrev. Johan Bertilsson Kempe, bror till Erik Bertilson i Södra Viggen, blir genom detta köp ägare till Kringsberget, som han 1678 säljer till Tomas Henriksson Havuinen, varmed ”et kraftigt och intelligent folk” kommer till Kringsberget. Tomas Henriksson, död 1693, var den förste finnen i Älvdals häradsnämnd (1682-90). Hans son Kristoffer Tomasson var född omkr. 1645. - Per Henrikssons släktnamn är okänt. Med Tomas Henriksson kom släkten Havuinen till Kringsberget. Om Älgsjön 1/8 sk. i Södra Finnskoga uppges i jordeboken 1668: ”Elgsjön hafver varit ett nybygge men är nu skattelagt till 1/4 hemman. Upptaget på Välborne Hugo Hamiltons ägor.” I domboken 13/6 1668 står: ”Än skattlades Elgsjön under Möre i Dalby socken för 1/4 å 2 mil från bolbyn, och herr Hamiltons frälse”. I domboken 26/7 1685 meddelas att Elgsjön varit upptaget på Backa ägor: så intygades även 1727 av en domare. 1693 blev Elgsjön sänkt till 1/8 hemman. Elgsjön är upptaget av Kindsjöborna 1650, och 1655 betalar Påvel i Kindsjön tionde för Elgsjön och 1657 står Påvel och Mattes mantalskrivna där med 2 i mantal var. Mattes står sedan skriven till 1661 och Påvel Mårtensson till 1667. 1664-77 står Erik Eriksson upptagen i tionde- och mantalslängderna; han är troligen svåger till Påvel. 1679 är Elgsjön spolierat av fienderna. 1685 intygade nämnden att hemmanet hävdades av finnenAdam Eriksson Såck till hälften, men den andra hälften, som Nils Harmynt åbodde, hade legat öde alltifrån 1675, då han därifrån avreste. Denna senare del blev upptagen av Urbanus Matsson Håcken, som varit i tjänst hos Mårten Staffansson i Kindsjön, och efter honom av sonen Adam. Senare stod Elgsjön tidvis öde och 1728 uppbjöds 1/3 av Lars Andersson från Mulltjärn som tillhandlat sig lotten av Adam Urbanusson och förvärvade sig egendomen av Urbanus' arvingar, varefter den övergick till Tomas Henriksson i Bjurberget som blev ägare till hela Elgsjön. Medskogen i Södra Finnskoga antecknas vara upptaget på Persby 1652, tillökt 1653 och står som nybygge till 1659 då det blir skattlagt till ¼ hemman. Den 20 maj 1653 fick medskogsfinnenJohan Johansson Veteläinen byggnadssedel av landshövdingen Tönnes Langman med fyra års skattefrihet till de två år han redan åtnjutit - skattläggningen räknades sålunda med sex frihetsår från tillökningen 1653 - men redan 1650 betalade Johan och Filippus tionde, och 1652 står Johan i Medskog upptagen i mantalslängden. Om bebyggaren skriver M. Axelson (sid. 159): ”Wäddelainen byggde Midskogen,” (M. Axelson, Vandring i Wermlands Elfdal och finnskogar, Stockholm 1852, sid. 159.) och Nordmann (sid. 26): ”Skarp-Johan från Finland upptog Midtskogen”. I sägnerna kallas han Jo Vedlan (jfr. sid 122 o. 124), dvs. Juho Veteläinen. - Enligt byggnadslovet 20/5 1653 har han då åtnjutit 2 års frihet, varför det är rimligt att ange Medskogen såsom upptaget 1651, ej från betalningen av tionde 1650. I en sägen i Segerstedts samlingar beskrives Johan Vedelainen i Medskogen som mycket rik. Han byggde ett hus med två våningar och säges också ha begagnat peruk som den tidens herremän, varför dalkarlarna, då de reste förbi med sina smiden till Grundsätts marknad tog av sig mössorna för honom. Han högg många fall i de stora skogarna omkring och fick mycken råg, som han delvis sålde i Bergslagen för 2 plåtar tunnan. Johan Vedelainen står ensam skriven i längderna 1652-57, 1660-67, hans son Daniel 1671-1706, Erik ensam i mantalslängden 1658, 1659 och tillsammans med Daniel 1673; Daniel Johansson dog 1707, Johan Danielsson 1720. Om Järpliden i Södra Finnskoga meddelas i Segerstedts samlingar av Olof Matsson i Igelsjöberg att Jacob Vedelainen (=Veteläinen) bosatte sig i Järpliden. Någon annan Jacob fanns ej vid den tiden än den som upptog Öjeberg och betalade tionde redan 1647. Axelson uppger (sid. 159): ”Toppo Hongoinen byggde först Öfra eller Stor-Hjerpliden samt därefter Borangen. Heikki [av släktenIlmoisia] byggde Nedra Hjerpeliden omkr. 100 år [senare]. Staffan Huskoinen byggde Husketorp öst[er] om Hjerpliden.” I domboken 6/8 1665 heter det: ”Näst befans jerpelundh (!) vara som av herads beviset af 15 juni 1663 synes skattlagt 1649 och beläget på Höljes gamla häfd halfannan mil från gården väster ut mot norska gränsen …, och utvistes vara skattlagt 1649 och välb Hugo Hamilton fick först Höles till frelse 1651.” Uppgiften om skattläggningen 1649 är uppenbarligen felaktig. Det heter nämligen i jordeboken 1659: ”jerpeliden hafver varit ett nybygge och är nu 1659 tillökt till ¼ hemman”. 1653 betalar Mickel tionde från Jerpliden första gången och 1654 står ”Mickel wijdh Hjerpeliden” upptagen i mantalslängden med 2 egna och 2 husfolk och är upptagen i längderna 1653-61, 1665, Kristoffer Mickelsson 1665-76; Mattes betalar tiondet 1654. 1677-79 är Järpliden spoierat av fienderna och 1680 är det utfattigt. 1693 finnes endast en rök i Järpliden, nämligen Pär Mickelsson, utom lösfinnar som bodde där. - Gottlund (sid. 369, 371) nämner för Järpliden 5 gårdar 60 personer; de flesta sägs vara av släkten Honkainen. Avundsåsen i Södra Finnskoga har finskt namn Kymölä, av namnetKymöinen. I domboken 15/6 1663 står att Avundsåsen är skattlagt på Södra Persbys skog 2 1/3 mil från gården västerut och i jordeboken 1668, att Avundsåsen ”hafver varit ett nybygge och är nu skattlagt till ¼ hemman”. Välb. Hugo Hamilton ”hafver vederkänt”, emedan det är upptaget på hans donationshemmans ägor, och i domboken 13/6 1668 finnes antecknat: ”Skattlades Afundsåsen under Persbyn, skattlades för ¼ och har Hamiltons frälse.” M. Axelson (sid. 159): ”Kymmenen byggde Afundsåsen, hviket också först kallades Kymelä.” I Segerstedts samlingar säges att Henrik Kymainen tog hem i Afundsåsen. Denne Henrik finns ej upptagen i någon skattlängd och är ej heller annorledes känd. Den 11/10 1688 visade Mattes Mattson i Avundsåsen landshövdingens remissorial att upptaga en fordran som finnes Samuel Henriksson av honom pretenderade, men finnen kom ej tillstädes, varför ärendet ej kunde avgöras. Denne Samuel kunde måhända vara Henrik Kymainens son. Den förste som förekommer i längderna är gamle Mattes Matssonfödd i Gästrikland före Hannibalsfejden (något över 100 år gammal då han dog i febr. och begravdes 14/3 1725). Han står upptagen i mantalslängden första gången 1658 som ”Matz Matesån Affundzåhssen” med 2 egna och 2 husfolk i mantal, och 1661 Mathes med 2 egna och 13 husfolk, det högsta antlet mantalsskivna där före 1765. En yngre Mats, ”dränga Mats” kallad, tillhandlade sig halva hemmanet, varom resolverades 1671, att handeln mellan Mattes Matsson och hans svåger unge Mats Matsson skulle som köp bli bestämt. - Jfr. Mägiste, Värmlandsfinska ortsnamn, sid. 301, Gottlund sid. 372, SOV XIV sid. 25. Mackartjärn i Södra Finnskoga: SOV Mackaretjärn ¼ skatte; finskt namn Nikkarila. Snickar Lars är den förste omnämnde på denna plats. I tiondelängden 1651 och 1655 är upptagna Lars och Mattes. 1657 är första året, då någon är upptagen i mantalslängden: Mattes, tillsammans 3 personer, 1658, 1661 med 2 egna och 6 husfolk. 1659 är 3 personer mantalsskrivna: hustru, son och dotter. 1660 är Mackartjärn antecknat öde. I mantalslängden 1673 står 10 och 1676 står 2 i mantal. 1676 och 1677 låg gården spolierad av fienden. Redan från början bor i Mackartjärn släkterna Snickar Lasse och Mattes av släkten ”Hyttian”, som hade anhöriga i Mulltjärn och ägde hälften var i Mackartjärn. Mackartjärn, som varit ett nybygge, skattlades 1656 till ¼ hemman, beläget på Södra Transtrands utägor. Snickar Lasse hade tre kända barn: sonen Mattes och döttrarna Lisbet och Kerstin, Mattes hade sonen Henrik Mattson. Skråckarberget ¼ sk. (fi. Vilhula) är det sista upptagna finnhemmanet i Södra Finnskoga. Olof Vilhuinen upptog Skråckeberget (jfr. Nordmann sid. 26). Enligt domboken 15/6 1663 är Skråckeberget oskattlagt och beläget på Uggenäs ägor och 26/9 1665 skattlades Skråckeberget på Tutstads ägor, som var frälse Wälb. H. Hamiltons, för ¼ hemman och i jordeboken 1665 meddelas att Skråckeberget varit ett nybygge och nu är skattlagt till ¼ hemman, upptaget efter befallningsmannen Gilius Giliussons byggningssedel den 30/10 1656, som framteddes vid häradssyn 1735, given till Olof Henriksson, fader till dåvarande skråckebergsbor. 1654 betalde Olof i Skråckeberg kronotionde för första gången, således två år innan han fick byggnadssedeln och elva år innan hemmanet skattlades. Om detta var tionde av den första skörden hade han fällt sved första gången år 1652, eftersom tiondet betaltes med råg; 1655 hade han kornskörd. 1654 hade Olof Henriksson 2 egna och 2 husfolk mantalsskrivna, och han står i Skråckeberg upptagen till 1667. Hans son Anders står sedan skriven 1675-93. Nils står 1671 ensam och 1681 tillsammans med Anders. 1676-79 var Skråckeberget skövlat av fienderna. - Ang. namnet Vilhula, jfr Mägiste, Värmlandsfinska ortnamn, sid. 775. Svedjefinnarnas erövring av älvdalsskogarna gick framåt med förvånande snabbhet och effektivitet. På endast drygt ett decennium från de första nedsättningarna längst i söder var den fullbordad i och med bosättningen på Aspberget i höljesskogen omkring 1660. Vid denna tid eller möjligen något tidigare kom ett par bröder Lars och Per Hakkare (Hakkarainen), söner till Per Hakkarainen vid Nain på de östliga ekshäradsskogarna (jfr sid. 79), och slog sig ned på höljesskogen.

Gamla boningshuset vid Larsgården i Aspberget, Norra Finnskoga sn, Värml. Ungefär samtidigt kom en tredje finne och bosatte sig på Aspberget, Mats Tenhuinen från Kindsjön (jfr sid. 130), och med dessa tre bebyggare hade finnarna på sin frammarsch genom älvdalsskogarna nått landskapets nordspets. Bebyggelserna går under benämningen Höljesskogen i mantalslängderna 1661, 1666 och 1667 men Aspberget i tiondelängder och efter 1667 i alla längder. I mantalet 1661 står Lars med 2 egna och 2 husfolk fram till och med 1667 och Mats Tenhuinen till och med 1676. Per (Pekka) Hakkarainen uppges i traditionen först ha byggt på södra sluttningen av Vattahåberget på en plats som även kallatsPekkalavaln. Lars byggde en halv mil sydväst om Aspberget påLåbbekhå. På båda ställena har man sett spår och märken efter hustomter. Lars flyttade snart därifrån, efter det åskan slagit ihjäl hans kreatur, och byggde Jorsla i Aspberget. Den del som han hade upptagit av skogroten, sålde han till Sigfrid Matsson och Daniel Larsson. Mats Tenhuinen, som på Höljes' åbors tillstånd slagit sig ned och börjat röja ägor, sålde sitt nedlagda arbete till Mats Mårtensson Mohall och dennes broder Henrik Mårtensson. Mats' efternamn skrives vanligen Mohall, ibland även Muhal m.m., men släktnamnets rätta lydelse är oklar. Möjligen kan det tolkas som Muhan av Muhoinen, ett släktnamn som är rätt ofta förekommande i Aspberget under 1700-talet. I domboken 15/6 1663 står, att Aspberget är oskattlagt på Höljes' hävd, och enligt domboken 10/7 1668 skattlades nybygget Aspberget under Höljes i Dalby socken för 1/4. Detsamma utsäges i 1668 års jordebok. Efter 1667 försvinner Lars Hakkarainen ur längderna; därefter står Mårten 1671-76. 1677-79 är Aspberget spolierat av fienderna.

Uthusbyggnad vid Larsgården, Aspberget, Norra Finnskoga sn, Värml. Lars Hakkarainen hade sönerna Henrik, Pål och Bengt. Staffan Waiken var hans måg och han bosatte sig i Aspberget. Om Bengt Larsson Hakkare anföres i ett mål från 1703, att han farit till främmande land. Pål Larsson Hakkare sökte den 20/3 1693 återbörda 1/3 i skattehemmanet Aspberget, som hans fader Lars Hakkare sålt till Daniel Larsson, vilket också lyckades. Den 23/9 1691 tilltalade Josef Persson Hakkare i Aspberget sin broder Henrik Persson i Nain om arv efter sin fader Per Hakkare, jämväl bl.a. om att få sätta sig ned på 1/8 Nain, där hans fader bott, varemot Henrik föregav, att intet var efter hans fader, som blivit på sin höga ålderdom underhållen av sina barn. - Tidigare, den 15/5 1671, sökte Henrik Larsson Hakkare igenlösa det torp Aspberget, som hans fader sålt till Seffre Matsson, och den 15/12 1671 dömdes, att Henrik skulle med sina syskon igenlösa sin faders jord, som denne sålt i deras omyndiga år till Seffre Matsson för 34 rdr, och giva honom för hus och röjning 14 rdr. Josef Persson Hakkare hade en son Josef Josefsson och sonsonen Josef f. 1706, vidare dennes son Josef f. 1739 och ännu en Josef Josefsson f. 1767, d. 1825, samt dennes bror Erik Josefsson f. 1783, d. 1880, 97 år gammal och den siste i Aspberget som kunde tala finska.

Bastuknappen (Saunannuppi), Aspberget, Norra Finnskoga sn,Värml. Mats Thennund och Mats Mohall. Den 1/9 1704 sökte Mårten Matsson i Kindsjön att få i börd inlösa dess salige faders upptagna hemman eller torpställe halva Aspberget, som fadern för mer än 30 år sedan bortsålt till framledne finnen Mats Mohall och dennes broder Henrik Mårtensson frambjudande därtill 40 rdr courant. Vid denna begäran anfördes: ”Mats Mohalls barn Mats och Mickel Matssöner som med sina bröder besitta hälften därav samtMårten Staffansson som andra hälften åbor, som hans morfaderden hafver inlöst.” Härpå svarades att torpstället var ringa och hade uppodlats så att det blivit skattlagt för 1/8 hemman, vilken skatt de utdragit i 30 år. Mårten Matssons fader Mats Thennund ägde ingen arvsrätt på Höljes' ägor: sitt där nedlagda arbete hade han sålt, varför rätten ej kan finna någon återgång utan erkännes svarandes sak. Mats Mohall och Mats Thennunds barn och arvingar ”bliva vid deras förfäders köp maintinerade och få sin därigenom förvärvade jord i Aspberget oqualt och fritt för käranden Mårten Matsson behålla och besitta”.

Följande utgårdar och torp ligger under Aspberget: Badstuknappen. Den förste som byggde i Bastuknappen hette Olof Arnesson, en norsk finne, som först bott på Furuåsen, ett torp öster om Aspberget, men inte fått fred där för elaka grannar. Hans flyttning skedde 1882; han livnärde sig till en början på bark, mossa, mjölk och fisk. - I förteckning över bebyggare har Bäckvalls Elfdalsarkiv: torp. Olof Andersson f. 1768.
