    • Notes:
      1. The marriage documentation for January 5, 1767 is the only one even close to a match for this couple. I checked all Gallstad marriage records from 1740 through 1800. The one on January 5, 1767 is a perfect match in terms of the wife's name, the wife's place of origin (Bentorp), the husband's first name, and the husband's place of origin (Yttre garden, Redslarp). It is also a perfect match in terms of time, since the first of the nine children was born eleven months after their marriage. The only point that does not appear to match is the husband's last name. While it should be Olufsson, the Swedish experts at the Family History Library said the name shown was very unusual and appeared to be Bosensson, Bosenson or Bosensten. I then had them read the words preceding the name. The word Immagan means "farmhand" or unmarried, the word "self" means "and." The next words, something like "Espian Hujuan," were interpreted by the best Swedish expert, who was very knowledgable and from the country, as "drummer." She immediately understood he was a soldier, namely a drummer in the army. She then explained the last name descrepancy. She said under Swedish military custom, if your last name was common, so there were several in the company with it, they changed your name to something else. Often, the individual stuck with that name thereafter. That's almost certainly what happened here she said. She said its very probablethis is the correct marriage record as a result.
