Klemet Larsson Porkka

   Another name for Klemet was Klemet Larsson Bork.

  Research Notes:

1. None of the sources or Family trees that I have reviewed note a date death for Klemet Larsson Porkka. Also they do not record name of his wife and only record one son, Johan Klemetsson b abt 1678 and died in 1724. I haven't found any mention of any other children, although it is likely there were more children.


2. "Runnsjön - as it was" by Roland Kihlstadius documents that Klemet was the son of Lars Klemetsson and notes that both Lars Klemetsson and Klemet Larsson likely owned and shared the original farm at Runnsjön from around 1645 or so. This original farm appears to have been divided sometime before 1674, but the date is uncertain.


3. "Mantalslängder, 1653-1750, Fryksände, transcribed"

Klemet Larsson Porkka first appears in the Mantalslängder in 1658. He continues to be recorded until 1671, and likely along side his brothers, Mats, Erik and Olof. However, the Mantal is not clear if "Mats, Erik and Olof" were brothers of Klemet Larsson or if they were sons of Klemet Larsson Porkka. The Mantalslängder does not record the patronomyic name, so they could be sons or brothers of of Klemet

It is not clear what happens to him or to "Mats, Erik, and Olof" in 1672. Either they had to sell part of the farm Runnsjön, but 'worked' for the new owner or they moved elsewhere to work. There is some indication that Mats moved to either Fäbacken or possibly Lekvattnet, but I'm not sure [1 Mar 2020 ]

There was a person named Erik Bork who had moved to Brandval parish in Norway, but that was Erik Klemetsson Porkka, not Erik Larsson.

However, by 1675, Olof Larsson is taxed - this is most likely the son of Lars Klemetsson and brother to Klemet.

Kenneth has copied some court records, but most are not overly helpful in terms of genealogy or establishing family relationships. However,
1666 ht 2: - Klemet Larsson from Runsjön and Mårten Andersson had been hunting and Mårten was accidently shot ... Klemet was not charged, although he had to pay a fine .... but apparently he bought with him: from Runsjön, Mats Larsson, a brother; and Olof Eriksson, a nephew ... and Olof Eriksson brought a boy, Olof Larsson with him [I'm not sure who he is] ^{8559,8706,8707}
