Henrik Larsson Porkka

  Research Notes:

Summary: There is some uncertainity about Henrik Larsson's birth. The age at his death according to the Fryksände parish death/burial book is recorded as '78' - if this was correct then his birth would be close to 1649. However, as Bo Brunzell has noted this is not likely the correct age since this doesn't seem to correspond with the birth of his children.

I don't know if his birth could be proven with better accuracy. Almost all FTs that I found, record his birth as around 1663. This is the date that I have used.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Kenneth Bergman, Bo Brunzell and Tony Östlund (geni.com FT), Michael Östman, Grillenborg
- all record that Henrik Larsson Porkka (son of Lars Matsson Porkka and Annika Henriksdotter Häkkinen)
was born about 1663, although Kenneth Bergman records birth as about 1660

AND that Henrik Larsson's death was at Rattsjöberg on 15 Apr 1727 [ Fryksände, CI:1, p 353 no 9; AID: v6469.b180.s353) ]

However, the Fryksände death/burial records says that he died at age 78, meaning his birth was abt 1649
NOT 1660 or 1633. So, either the age at death, is incorrect resulting with the wrong birth.
But many ages are wrong - see Bo Brunzell's FT and point 4 below

AND IF Annika Henriksdotter Häkkinen's birth of 1641 is correct, (which I believe is correct - see her research notes page),
then this Henrik Larsson's (who died in 1727) mother is someone else. Since Annika wasn't born until 1641.
AND if fact his wife was another person named Annika Henriksdotter b about 1677 - again see point 4

and NOTE: that the death record of 1707 is referring to another person, not a son of Annika Henriksdotter Häkkinen
[ Kenneth Bergman records her death as 1707. The transcribed Fryksände death book has the name "hustru [wife] Annika" as the person who died at Rattsjöberg on 17 Nov 1707 [Fryksände (S) CI:1 (1707-1732) Image 165 / Page 323]. The age at death is recorded as 80 years and 5 months, meaning her birth would have to be about 1627-28. ]

Henrik Larsson Porkka b 1663, died 15 Apr 1729 ?? at Rattsjöberg [not on transcribed deaths - but actual: 15 Apr 1727; age 78, with a calculated birth as 1649 ]; Fryksände (S) CI:1 (1707-1732) Page 353 no 9
married to Annica Henriksdotter, b 1660 (Vitsand) and died 14 May 1734 [ transcribed - no, but 14 Jun 1734, Annika Henriksdotter died at Rattsjöberg, age 67 - this is hard to read; at first glance it looks like '57' but using the image inverse function on Arkivdigital it is clearer to see '67'; it looks like the digit '5' and then likely tried to make it into a '6', thus age '67' -- this would mean her birth was more like 1667 - see Fryksände CI:2, page 275 no 24; AID: v6470.b144.s275 ]; see point 4 below

- this seems to correspond with my information research; Re: Pål Larsson, 1710-1764 and his father as Lars Hindriksson 1684-1748, and then his father Henrik Larsson 1663-1729; but have not seen name

- Annika Hendriksotter abt 1660 at Vitsand and died 14 May 1734 [but actual death was 14 Jun 1734 at age 57 meaning birth would be closer to 1677; see deaths AID: v6470.b144.s275; no 24]
- this Annika Hendriksdotter was married to Henrik Larsson Porkka, b abt 1663 [but more likely b about 1649] and died 15 Apr 1729 - Henrik's father was Lars Matsson Porkka, 1635-1671 and they lived at Rattsjöberg (initially under Fryksände parish, later under Vitsand parish)
- Annika Hendriksdotter and Henrik Larsson Porkka had a son Lars Henriksson Porkka (1683-1748), Rattsjöberg .... and then descendants to Per Pålsson, known in the US at Peter Paulson, b 1834 at Vitsand and died 1919 at Milaca, Mille Lacs Co, MN
[ the above information is not noted in the Ancestry FT from above - at least it is not recorded there on 12 Nov 2021 link, https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/26851149/person/26881640678/facts ]
but Per Pålsson b 16 Aug 1834 [Vitsand births, CI:1 image 19 no 38] and is recorded on Vitsand parish
household records, AI:2, page 37 at Rattsjöberg - parents Pål Hindriksson, b 1793 and Kari Persdotter, b 1803
- moving to Fryksände household records, AI:12 (1790-1803) page 188, Rattsjöberg
Hindrick Pålsson, b 1750 (11 Feb) and Maria Olsdotter b 1757 family
... children and then son Pål b 1793 - this Pål Henriksson had a son named Per Pålsson, b 1834 and it is this Per Pålsson/Paulson that the above comment - apparently he was known as Peter Paulson. In fact all of Per Pålsson's family emigrated to the US and settled in Mille Lacs Co, MN

BUT I haven't found a FT that records the above family, other than Hindrik Pålsson b 1750 and his father Pål Larsson, but nothing further on ancestry FT
maybe further FTs to research: [reviewed the first 4 - nothing]
https://www.ancestry.com/search/categories/42/?name=P%C3%A5l+Larsson_Porkka&birth=1710_fryksande-varmland-sweden_1656261&death=1764&birth_x=0-0-0&child=Lars+Henriksson_Porkka&defaultFacets=PRIMARY_YEAR.PRIMARY_NPLACE&father=Lars+Matsson_Porkka&mother=Annika+Henriksdotter_H%C3%A4kkinen&searchType=t&spouse=Annika_Henriksdotter&treePerson=26851149_26881640791


The problem with the above Annika Hendriksdotter (b abt 1677) is: she CANNOT be the mother of Lars Hendriksson b abt 1683-84 since she would only have been only about age 7 at his birth
THUS:
Henrik Larsson Porkka may have been married twice.

ALTHOUGH: if the age death of Annika H was wrong and she was born closer to 1667, then in 1684 she would have been 17 yrs, and although this is generally a fairly young to be married and have a child, but is possible [see point 4]

= posted a summary of Court Records: [ mostly a google translation ]

Born around 1663 in Rattsjöberget, Vitsand (S).
In F17 v98 [fall of 1717], Henrik and his sister inherit land. "Upb 1/4 in Rattsjöberg for Henrik Larsson ib [from the same place, ie, Rattsjöberg] and his sister Maria Larsdotter ib. Henrik has inherited 2/3 of it and his sister 1/3, according to F08 v64." "The house owner, Henrik Larsson in Rattsjöberg and his sister the widow Maria Larsdotter claim to be allowed to take over their permanent inheritance from mother Annika Henriksdotter, half of 1/2 Rattsjöberg, which half-brother Tomas Mattsson owns, and the loose inheritance after the father. Tomas presents his mother's will, approved at F99, Marit Persdotter in Åskagsberget, who was married to Tomas' half-brother Lars Larsson, also demands hereditary inheritance which he bequeathed to her before he was killed for his wrongdoings, as Henrik and Maria have the same inheritance rights after their mother as Tomas and his co-sister Annika Matsdotter and as the land was inheritance land, the plaintiffs may take over their lotteries. Shortly before his death, Henrik and his wife Annika arranged for their old age according to F27 v85: "Henrik Larsson and his wife Annika Henriksdotter in Rattsjöberg promised their son Lars Henriksson in 1722 to own half of their estate and still inherit their share of it. second half ".
Died 1727-04-15 in Rattsjöberget, Vitsand (S) [2].

" With regard to Henrik Larsson's stated age in the death register to 78 years, he would have been born in 1649. However, this does not seem reasonable why I state an estimated time of birth with regard to the wife and siblings' stated year of birth "

RE: Henrik Larsson; Died 1727-04-15 in Rattsjöberget, Vitsand (S) [2] - this is referring to source Fryksände deaths, CI:1, p 353
and is part to the last sentence above
Annika Henriksdotter: Bo Brunzell records her birth as about 1667 and references source Fryksände deaths, CI:2, page 275


BUT there is no placename of "Rattsjöberg" recorded in Vol AI:2 or AI:3, Fryksände parish household records
