When Per Gunnarsson was born in 1639 in Viby, Arboga, his father, Gunnar, was 39 and his mother, Kerstin, was 44.
He married Kerstin Nilsdotter in 1661 in Arboga landsförsamling. They had nine children in 17 years.
Per lived in Viby, and he probably took over the farm after his father's death in the 1650's and his mother's in the 1660's. In the 1660 taxation record [1] we find "H. Kierstin, Per Gunnars'" and he is not taxed, i.e. he is a soldier. The same in the 1663 taxation record. In the 1665 taxation records[2] he is head of the farm, and probably left the military to keep horses for them as "rusthållare", and and here we have him in the farm with his son Anders, and daughters Ingeborg and Brita in 1692.[3]
He died on October 31, 1709[4] in his hometown at the age of 70.
