Biography

Hedvig was born in 1692. Hedvig Eurénia . Per West Euren seems to have been her only child. She passed away in 1766. ^[1]

Härnösands stifts Herdaminne.^[1][2]

A rough translation of Herdaminne^[1]: She left her husband to stay with her uncle, who was the pastor in Torsåker. Her husband beat her until she was brown and blue over all her body. She said he often threatened to kill her.

(I would be grateful for an improved translation from someone with better Swedish than mine. TB)

Hade nog så besvärligt i äktenskapet: "....skall nu....och ofta till förne av sin man....vara slagen både brun och blå över alla ledamöter, så att hon nu hos pastorn/ i Torsåker, som var hennes farbror/är sängliggande, fruktande dessutom så mycket mera att begiva sig till mannen, som han ofta hotat att omsider dräpa henne. Hon begär rannsakning för att kunna alldeles skiljas till bo och hemvist, helst som hon eljest för hans ovänskaps skulle med andra aldrig får gå till Herrens Nattvard....." HSH IV:s 286.
