Lars Nyberg, born 1699 and died 19 Oct 1742 [F:1, p. 79; HVIa:2, p. 162 2nd side -- there are many more comments on this page, but handwriting diffifult - looks like he was in Finland in 1720 ... and .... Upsala (Stockholm) and then maybe in 1739 to Finland and .... 20 Sept ... dod

Lars Nyberg - död in Finland, 1742 ** thus, 19 Oct 1742
wife, Karin Jonsdotter
son, Matts Larsson born 1727
son, Jon Larsson - no birth year recorded [ see birth record below, name Jonas b 1735; C:1 1680-1743, page 79, 2nd side 1st ]

- there may be other children, but unlikely. There is close to a 10 year gap between these births, but I couldn't spot another children. Since he was a Soldier, it is possible that he was away alot.

[ 17 May 2018; viewed AI:3, Föne, Lillbyn and Soldator for birth years of the boys, but no record in births]




** NOTE: there are about 15 or so soldiers who died in Finland in 1742; and a couple in 1740, 1741, and 1743 and 1744, so clearly there was some type of battle or major engagement around this time.

1741-1742, War with Russia, "The Russian War of the Hats"
On February 25, 1742 the Russians broke the armistice. A large force of 26,000 men was gathered in Viborg and in June 1742 the force crossed the border into the Swedish Finland. The Swedes had prepared a defensive position at the Mendolax gorge, 20 km southeast of Fredrikshamn. However the force at the gorge retreated when the large Russian army approached. The Swedish army kept on retreating from the advancing Russian army. In August the Swedes had retreated to Helsinki. The Swedish officers were at this point about to raise a mutiny due to the incompetent commanders. On August 24, 1742 the Swedish field army in Finland had to surrender to the Russians. However, the Swedes were allowed to return to Sweden. During the winter of 1742/1743 the Swedes prepared to recapture Finland. On March 15, 1743, Sweden recaptured the islands of Åland and in April the Russians were forced to retreat from Northern Finland.On May 20, 1743 the Swedish Galley Fleet attacked the Russian Galley Fleet at Korpo ström. However, the naval battle ended with a Russian victory.
