Hi Bo I found this previously, relating to Nils. Den 2 Maj fick Husaren Nils Lind med dess hustru och 2ne barn sedel till Götheryds sockn. Han född 1782 i Hörja hon född 1781 den 18 Juni i Hästveda sokn. Son Jöns 4 år dtr Magnil 1 år. It says Nils was born in 1782, but 25 Dec 1781 is not far off that. Interesting that Nils LIND was a Hussar. Although we know his father was a merchant, he too might have been a soldier. So perhaps the two fathers in the DDSS records are the same!!
