- Karin Olofsdotter born 1755 in Jun. Father was factorie Smed in Söderhamn Olof Olofsson [?]* Stålhammar [the name is a bit hard to read, but this is likely correct) and mother, Karin Olofsdotter .... baptised ... morbror (mother's brother) church priest ..?? Anders .... in Hogdal. Age 20 years <1775>, married to (bonde) Halvar Rolfsson, farmer at Kårböle ....... ?? [there is more written, but very hard to read .... something about children ... 2 sons and 4 daughters ... also something about son och dotter dod- likely at birth or very young ????. ...30 yrs ago ?? - old [mors] died? <1707>? [1707 is when her husband died .... 19 years ago? blind ....? ] ... died 19 May 1737 at age 82 years
* as indicated, writing is difficult but it's possible that the name is Olof Eriksson Stålhammar - BUT all the other researchers use the name of Olof Olofsson Stålhammar, and going through the Söderhamn parish records, I no evidence that there was a person named Olof Eriksson Stålhammar. Torbjörn Nas in 1999 and in 2003 posts does record the name Olof Eriksson Stålhammar, but by 2004 he uses the name, Olof Olofsson Stålhammar
** 22 Oct 2018; I tried to rework the translation (Torbjörn Näs had posted a transcription of this on Anbytarforum - see the document below, point 2)
The widow of Kårböle's erl. [?] was wife Karin Olofsdotter, a pious and religious woman. She was born in 1655 in June. Her father was a smith at the "gun factory" in Söderhamn, Olof Eriksson Stålhammare and her mother was Karin Olofsdotter, baptized, [wäluptucktad ??]. She was able to read in a book and understand her Christianity [teachings] very well and cherished her Christianity [wackert=pretty, handsome, beautiful, cherish]. In her youth she was with [or maybe learned] her uncle [morbror=mother's brother) who was a church priest [with the army?] Anders in Hodal [Andreas Olai Arbroensis in Ytterhogdal Esee above geni.com link].
In her 20th year [about 1675], she married Halvar Rolfsson, bonde [farmer] in K with whom she was married for 32 years. They had six children, 2 sons and 4 daughters. One son and one daughter is dead [likely both were born before 1680] (Dhe) other now coming true. Thirty years ago her husband died, [about 1707] and 19 years ago she has been blind. She bears her life with Christian patience, good behavior and honesty. She was sick and bedridden for 4½ weeks, during which time she contemplated and prepared for her death and the Lord summoned her a blissful last moment. She had her Christian burial on May 19. She lived to the age of 82, and less than one month.
