Biography

Eric was born in about 1675, probably in Finland (Suomi). By 1696^[1] he had established a homestead in the Uttermåsa-Wäsijärfvi area, and by 1707^[2] had taken the name Fårssman (later Forssman, then Forsman)^[3].

Research Notes

His birth year is estimated from the establishment of his homestead farm (nybyggare, abbreviated nyb.) in 1696.
His death year is estimated from the time he ceased to be listed in the settlement records.
His wife's name was Karin^[1].
Forsman farm was located in Kärjenkoski, a region of Lapväärtti parish that later became part of Isojoki Parish. It also appears under Wesijärvi/Wäsijärvi^[4].
The rippikirja starting in 1724 show the Forsman farm owner as Erich Hendrichsson, rather than Ericsson, and he has a different wife – Elizabeth Rolfsdotter^[5]. Possibly, Erich Erichsson may have had a son Hendrich. Then, the Erich Hendrichsson Forsman after the records gap during the Great Wrath of 1713–1721 was his grandson.
