An illegitimate child, Eric's child that he had with Brita Christoffersdotter in Eriksbo was baptized in Skinnskatteberg 31 March 1640. No patronym or family name is given for Eric, the father. Instead it is explained that he worked for Olof Hising as a merchant's assistant.
The vicar in Skinnskatteberg at this time was Stephanus Olai. In his baptism notes for children born within wedlock only the name of the father is mentioned. For children born out of wedlock he names the father and the mother, both.
