Biography

Birth and Christening

Catharina was born May 12, 1786, at Blackan in the parish of Svennevad, as the daughter of the crofter Anders Nilsson and Catharina (Cajsa) Andersdotter. She was christened May 14 and her godparents were the farmer Anders Olsson and his wife Kierstin Andersdotter at Illvannbo (?), the farmhand Anders Nilsson at Prästgården and the farm maiden Anna Nilsdotter at the Svennevad Village.[1]

When Catharina was four years old the family moved from Blackan to Lyckan where her father first was a lodger but soon became the person who operated the bellows of the church pipe organ.[2] Between 1798 and 1799 Catharina lived at Hjerta.[3] She then lived at home until 1802 when she moved to Stora Glättra to work as a farm maiden.[4] A year later she moves to Åstugan where she stays for two years before moving to the parish of Bo in 1805.[5]

Family

October 21, 1807, Catharina married the farmhand Jonas Jonsson. He was living and working at Torsjö and she as a farm maiden at Tjälltorp, both in the parish of Godegård.[6] In April 1808 Catharina gave birth to her first child, Carl Petter. She and her husband then lived at the croft Edet in the parish of Hällestad.[7] Jonas was working as a day laborer. When their second son, Anders, was born they lived in the village of Dimperö and since the village belonged to Lemneå bruk (iron mill)[8] he most likely worked from day to day at the mill. In 1812 the family moved from Dimperö to a croft called Sandfallet where Jonas was a crofter for a short time. The couple's third son, Jaen, was born there.[9][10] Before 1818 the family moved once again, this time to Österby on the land of the Prästgård (home of the vicar).Jonas is once more a dagkarl but it is now that he starts calling himself Godlund which becomes the family name.[11] From around 1820 the family is living at Österby Mellangård. The last two children, Stina Kajsa and Gustav, were born at Österby.[12] By 1837 all the children had grown up and moved out.[13] In 1846 the son Gustaf moves back home with his wife Anna Lena and their two year old daughter Gustava Mathilda.[14] Gustav moved out to work between 1847 and 1849 but his family stayed at Österby Mellangård and a second child, the son Gustaf was born in 1848. In 1850 Gustav moved again but this time he took his family with him, leaving his parents behind. Jonas and Catharina were then both considered poor.[15] Jonas died in 1853, leaving his wife so poor that she had to receive poor relief from the parish to get by. The son Gustaf returned with his family the following year.[16]
