Jakob Johansson Ryttare, (Farmer and soldier).

 

Jakob Johansson Ryttare, (Farmer and soldier).

Jakob Johansson is my grandfathers grandfathers grandfathers father, and my grandmothers grandfathers grandfathers grandfather (farfars, morfars, farfars far. Men även min farmors farfars, farfars, farfar).

Or in another way the male line 5 generations back from Anders Hägglund (b 1862).

Johansson is his patronymikon, and Ryttare his soldier name (handle). Ryttare means Rider. He must, however, been infantry at Skellefte companie of Västerbotten infantry regiment. Rote 43 in the hamlet of Fahlmark. Rote 43 consist of 3 farms, Fahlmark 5 (a farm that he owned 1708 to 1739), Fahlmark 15 and Fahlmark 20. He was soldier in a very difficult time, called stora ofreden, “the big unpeace”, starting in 1699 and ending in 1719, When Sweden (including Finland, Estonia and parts of present Latvia, Lituania and northern Germany) was in war with an alliance between Denmark/Norway, Russia and Poland/Prussia. It is so far unclear if Jacob participated that much in the fights, his regiment was, however, involved in most of the battles. The reason, that he maybe was lucky, is that we can read that he was at home on his “rote” during the period 1712-1713 and was exchanged as a solider on his rote 1714, as he was the only farmer left on those 3 farms. The farms that was supposed to support the soldier. During the period most of the regiment was killed off, several times, and the region and the country was running out of men. One time was at the battle of Poltava, Ukraine, 1709, when the regiment as a whole was totally wiped out. The regimental flag from that battle is still in St Petersburg, in the church of the Peter Paul fortress. I have seen it myself. Jakob must have been very lucky! It was not common generally that a “rote-farmer” as in this case, also was the solider of the rote. This was only the case during this difficult period, when there was an enormous lack of men.

Jakob was sentenced in 1737 for beating his wife! He was before that elected or selected as “sexman” (sex means six and has nothing with the other kind of sex to do), a kind of local politician (one of six in the parish, hence sex) and police, for the period 1722 to 1724.

Below follows the more formal data and references, in Swedish mostly.
