Fifth Generation

28. Jacob LARSSON was born on 20 May 1723 in Bäckagården, Hössna, Älvsborgs län, Sweden. He died on 17 February 1805 at the age of 81 in Hössna, Älvsborgs län, Sweden.⁸⁷ He was buried on 3 March 1805 in Hössna, Älvsborgs län, Sweden.⁸⁸ The writing is hard to read, but it appears to say he was a cleric or clerk (klockman or klockarne). The family lived at Bäckagården. Check C:1, 1033.5 for date of birth.

He was 81 when he died. Cause of death is not legible.

The whole family was living at Bäckagården when Jacob Larsson died (Redvåg, F11:17, p. 71). Jacob sold Bäckagården to his son Johannes in 1798.

SE/GLA/11108) Märta Catharina Abrahamsdotter HÖGBERG and Jacob LARSSON were married on 16 June 1754 in Hössna, Älvsborgs län, Sweden.

29. Märta Catharina Abrahamsdotter HÖGBERG⁸⁹ was born on 20 April 1735 in Önnarp, Hössna, Älvsborgs län, Sweden.⁹⁰ She died on 12 March 1809 at the age of 73 in Hössna, Älvsborgs län, Sweden.⁹¹ She was buried on 26 March 1809 in Hössna, Älvsborgs län, Sweden. She was 75 years, 10 months, 3 days old when she died. Cause of death is illegible, as is the farm where she was living when she died.

There's some confusion about Märta Catharina Högberg and her parentage. Some say her father was Abraham Josephsson. His father may have been Joseph Jacobsson who d. 1732 in Hössna. It appears she was the daughter of his first wife. His second wife was Gunnur Hogberg b. 1711 in Od (Od C:1, 644.8). He apparently took the name Hogberg from his second wife. He may have been married to Brita Larsdotter who d. 1755 Hössna (C:1, 1033.5 and LI:1, 1033.8). This needs to be checked out.
