Our first relatives, Per Andersson and his wife Maria Nilsdotter, came to Fröbbestorp in 1691. When Per Andersson died in 1722, the farm was taken over by one of his sons, Anders Persson (1707-1785). Anders Persson had several children. Two of them, Per Andersson (1738-1790) and Lars Andersson (1746-1798), stayed in Fröbbestorp. The farm was split in two pieces...one piece to Per Andersson and the other piece to Lars Andersson. Per Andersson was succeeded by his daughter and his son-in-law. When they became too old to work the farm, they were succeeded by their son Nils Olofsson (1811-1879). His offspring still owns the farm.
From Per Carlzon, March 2009:
Attached is information about our ancestor M�ns Larsson (b. abt 1615).
M�ns Larsson was called �the state's sawyer�, which might have something to do with the oak forrests in Tj�rekulla where he lived. The state needed the oak to building ships and it was forbidden to cut down or delimbing the oaks. The state was responsible for the logging. M�ns Larsson was a trusted man. He signed the 1670 years Census and was a juryman too and is mentioned in the court records 1669 and 1670. In 1674 the people in Tors�s tried to get Johan Wallerman selected to parson in Tors�s. A letter was sent to the bishop and the church administration in Kalmar. It was undersigned �of some of the parishe's oldest bailies and jurymen, together with some men of honour�. Among them was M�ns Larsson. Their efforts were fruitful. Johan Wallerman was selected. In his youth he was too hot for porridge when he found his soul love Anna Andersdotter. They had to pay 2 Daler for making love before marriage. It took place in 1642. He was an enterprising man. In 1669 he expanded his domains and together with his brother-in-law Per in T�nghult bought a farm in neighbouring village in Björsebo. Anders Olufsson in Bj�rsebo was indigent. Maybe Anders Olufsson was Måns Larsson's father-in-law.
It was not uncommon back then that the farms were deserted. The Danes ravaged at the border. After Gustav II Adolf invaded and burned Kristianopel, the Danes revenged by burning down all farms in Tors�s on Christmas 1611. The same thing happened in 1616. �1616 Tors�s was totally ravaged and burned by the Danes the record says. In 1629 there was 87 farms deserted, in 1631 the figure was 67. In 1644 Swedish forces tried to invade Kristianopel. The border parishes (Danish and Swedish) made own peace agreements. It had happened several times before. It angered the Danish commander of Kristianopel that he sent his troops to Tors�s the same year. Tors�s was once again ravaged with killings and fire. In 1645, there was 137 farms deserted. When Queen Kristina gave the S�dra M�re (where Tors�s belongs to) to Axel Oxenstierna many left their farms. In 1651, 37 farms were deserted in Tors�s. 1653-1655 a severe plague hit Torsås and nearby parishes. Many people died and farms were left deserted. Whole families died. Another war hit Tors�s in 1657. The Danes burned 37 farms in Tors�s. � of Bj�rsebo was deserted in 1658 and in 1659 the whole farm. 1660 and 1661 ½ was deserted again. M�ns Larsson's farm in Bj�rsebo was split between his son Per M�nsson and Sven M�nsson. In 1689 Per M�nsson became in a financial difficult situation. Even though Bj�rsebo was in our relatives' hands for nearly 300 years.
