The cavalry soldiers from Fellingsbro parish belonged to Livregementet till häst; initially to Ryttmästare Liewens Compagnie, later to Fellingsbro Compagnie. This page is not intended as a complete list of the riders for Fellingsbro, it is simply an attempt to keep track of the development in a few villages, where the relationships between ryttare and farmers have been of interest to the genealogy of a few families. There were many soldiers in Fellingsbro and their original patronymic is very rarely mentioned in combination with their soldier name in muster rolls or church records.

The resources from the main sponsor for a soldier were often augmented with a smaller share from some entirely different place - this will not be documented here.

The first roll for this regiment is from 1683. Muster rolls at Riksarkivet

Liewens Compagnie

At this time the units were named after their commanding officer - in this case Reinhold von Liewen.

Renamed to Fellingsbro Compagnie

The third platoon included riders for Rynninge but not for Nybble.[14]

Thanks Eva for your work on this page and for finding evidence that my ancestor Olof Rungren embarked at Rådmansö in 1741!
