He is found with 2nd wife and family at äby in [F = Jönköping county] Säby AI:5ab (1803-1808) Image 1960 / page 182 (AID: v48937a.b1960.s182, NAD: SE/VALA/00361). Here recorded as born 1728 Nässjö, and died 1803 Before that as Anders Nilsson born 1728 Nässjö, had come 1792/1793 from Kjällås in [F] Säby AI:4b (1799-1802) Image 74 / page 62 (AID: v22034.b74.s62, NAD: SE/VALA/00361).

Unfortunately there are no moving-out records for Nässjö 1772, and there is a gap in the birth records 1728-1731. Marriage 2 Nov 1762, bachelor Anders Nilsson (no address) and maid Margareta Bengtsdotter from Träslunda. [F] Nässjö CI:2 (1732-1774) Image 83 / page 159 (AID: v35864.b83.s159, NAD: SE/VALA/00283). Birth of Nils 14 Sep 1763, parents Anders Nilsson and Margareta Bengtsdotter in Risabo. [F] Nässjö CI:2 (1732-1774) Image 86 / page 165 (AID: v35864.b86.s165, NAD: SE/VALA/00283). Birth of Johan 12 Apr 1767, parents Anders Nilsson and Margareta Bengtsdotter in Risabo. [F] Nässjö CI:2 (1732-1774) Image 97 / page 187 (AID: v35864.b97.s187, NAD: SE/VALA/00283). Found at Risabo as Anders born 1729 and wife Margareta born 1741, in the 1763-1770 section in [F] Nässjö AI:1 (1748-1770) Image 185 / page 355 (AID: v21333.b185.s355, NAD: SE/VALA/00283). Anders not found at Risabo in the 1754-1762(?) section in [F] Nässjö AI:1 (1748-1770) Image 118 / page 221 (AID: v21333.b118.s221, NAD: SE/VALA/00283). Also not found at Risabo in the 1771-1778 section in [F] Nässjö AI:2 (1771-1781) Image 21 / page 29 (AID: v21334.b21.s29, NAD: SE/VALA/00283). So, not much help here... And his parents are not mentioned in his death record 16 Oct 1803, in [F] Säby C:5 (1784-1803) Image 221 / page 452 (AID: v36241.b221.s452, NAD: SE/VALA/00361). Perhaps you can try tracing his children's baptism witnesses with surname Nilsson and Nilsdotter? They MIGHT be his brothers or sisters. Or not related... // Bo Johansson
