Biography

Nils Lundqvist was born in 1731 (calculated from age in death record). He was a turner (sv. svarvare) in the town of Strömstad in Göteborg och bohus län, Sweden.

Nils married Christina Jönsdotter on January 11, 1760 in Strömstad. Their oldest son Daniel was born less than a month later. If Catharina's age in her death record is correct, she was born in 1746, and thus only 15 years old when she married Nils who was 29.

Nils and Christina had five children of which three reached adulthood:

1. Daniel b. 1760^[1]
2. Jöns b. 1762.^[2] Died 2 months old.
3. Anna b. 1766. Died 7 years old in 1773.
4. Katarina b. 1769.
5. Jöns b. 1774.

Nils passed away on November 16, 1799 in Strömstad parish and was buried on November 22, 1799. He died of old age, aged 68 years.^[3]
