They are found 1804-1812 at Skrivargården in AD Vartofta-Åsaka AI:3 (1799-1812) Image 93 / page 177 (AID: v44033.b93.s177, NAD: SE/GLA/13616). Jöns Andersson had been last in the list as farmhand, then moved up to become "Åbo" (tenant farmer). She has 3 children, the youngest Gustaf born 9 Dec 1799. His birth is registerad as Gustaf born 9 Dec 1809, parents Nils Andersson and Maria Andersdotter of Kiellegård(?) Bäck.

The oldest child Johannes born 17 Jone 1791, was also born at Bäck Kjällagård, AD Valstad C:2 (1757-1809) Image 235 / page 457b (AID: v58195.b235.s457b, NAD: SE/GLA/13609). So perhaps an address error in the birth record for Maria born 17 Sep 1793? > > I then looked for a death > record for Nils Andersson and found one in 1805 21/5.

But the husband's name seems to be Nils Svensson born Sandhem 1762. Perhaps an error, or this is her 2nd husband, after Nils Andersson and before Jöns Andersson. Probably an error because there is no Nils Svensson in the 1805 death records, only Nils Andersson of Stenhusgård, and he has the correct age for someone born 1762. There is a marriage 23 Nov 1788, Nils Andersson age 27, tenant farmer in Bäck Källagård, and Maria Andersdotter age 22, in AD Valstad C:2 (1757-1809) Image 279 / page 543 (AID: v58195.b279.s543, NAD: SE/GLA/13609). Notice that the parents are recorded, his are Anders Pehrsson and Brita Nilsdotter, her parents are Anders Jonsson/Jönson(?) and Maria Andersdotter. Anders Persson and Brita Nilsdotter, with son Nils born 1762, are at Bäck Källagård, having arrived 1769 from Yllestad.
