Biography

Johannes Laurentzson Westman, also known as Jan Lorenzson, was christened on 15 Jan 1727 in Jakob och Johannes Parish, Stockholm, Sweden.[1]

His parents were Laurentz Eriksson Westman and Magdalena Lütkeschwager/Lutkenvogel/Leutkonvyst, who had married in 1718. It is believed that Magdalena's father was Joachim/Jochim Lütkeschwager, who died in 1711, and her mother - Catharina Jonsdotter Garp - then married the brewer Antoni Lorentz in 1713, with Magdalena adding Lorentz to her name. Her brother, Anders Lütkeschwager Lorentz (1710-1775), was also a brewer.[2]

Johannes Laurentzson had a number of siblings, christened on the following dates in Jakob och Johannes Kommun in Stockholm:

  • Christina Westman (23 Jan 1719)[3]
  • Laurentz Westman (3 Mar 1720)[4]
  • Catharina Westman (9 Jul 1721)[5]
  • Magdalena Westman (17 Jun 1722)[6]
  • Abraham Westman (25 Jan 1724) [7]
  • Johannes Laurentzson Westman (15 Jan 1727)[8]
  • Sara Westman (3 Jun 1728)[9]
  • Margareta Westman (20 Jun 1730) [10]

He also had two younger siblings from his mother's second marriage to brewer Anders Söderman (5 Dec 1694 - 12 Apr 1736)[11]:

  • Maria Elisabet Söderman, christened 16 Apr 1733 [12]
  • Andreas Andersson Söderman, christened 10 Jul 1734 and died 19 Mar 1736 [13]

Johannes Laurentzson was the youngest son of his father's children, and just like his father and two elder brothers - he became a brewer. Only one of his brothers, Erik, left the family trade and became a baker when he married into a wealthy baking family and took over their business.[14]

In the middle of the 1750s Johannes Laurentzson was listed as the holder of his own brewery, located in the same block as his father in the Vargen area of Stockholm on Repslagaregatan (now Olovsgatan 6). This started quite small, with only two farmhands, but by 1760 had five farmhands and three maids.[15]

On 10 Apr 1759, he married Anna Elisabet Blom, the daughter of brewer Israel Blom (deceased 1740) and Margaretha Forssteen/Torsten.[16]

Johannes and Anna had a large number of children, but only Johan, Abraham and Anna Margareta lived to adulthood:

  • Brita Catharina Westman (11 Nov 1758) [17]
  • Johan Johansson Westman (8 Jan 1760) [18]
  • Anna Margareta Westman (23 Apr 1761), [19] married supreme court registrar Göran Schröderheim
  • Magdalena Westman (10 Dec 1762) [20]
  • Sara Greta Westman (1764)[21]
  • Lorenz Westman (16 Jun 1765) [22]
  • Abraham Johansson Westman (19 Dec 1767), [23] married Ulrica Carolina Palmgren
  • Erik Westman (18 Apr 1770) [24]
  • Christina Westman

The expansion of the brewing industry meant Johannes Laurentzson became a wealthy man. During the end of the 1700s he owned a farm in Vargen with stone and wooden houses built on plots on Holländaregatan addresses in the Tranhuvudet och Svärdfisken areas of Stockholm.
