Hi Elias
I´ve checked the military rolls for Södermanlands Regiment and it seems Adolph Procopé was born in Finand!
The first clip below is from the general muster rolls of 1750, Södermanlands Regemente and the major's company, image A0028114_00113 at SVAR. The previous sergeant was promoted to lieutenant 11 July 1749 and instead Adolph Procopé was promoted to sergeant after having been second corporal of Oppunda company.
The second clip is from the same muster rolls, but the position as second corporal of Oppunda company, image A0028114_00158 at SVAR. The previous coproral had died in 1745 and "on 11 september of the same year was promoted the volonteur #435 who on March 17 1746, by an order of the Colonel, was given the rank of seargent with a corporal's pay Adolph Procopae, who on the 19 August 1749 Was transported to Sergeant of the Major's Company ...."
The third clip is from the general muster roll of 1744, Oppunda Company and soldier #435, image A0028113_00141 at SVAR. The previous soldier Jacob Kullman had died in september 1742 and instead, March 30 1743, the volonteur Adolph Procopeus had been admitted. At the time of the general muster in 1744 he was 21 yeas old, had served 1 year, born in Finland and currently on leave on leave in Stockholm.
As his name is written Procopeus in the earliest roll he might be a descendant of the vicar Henrik Procopaeus in Uskela? Procopaeus seems to have been a wide spread family of priests and officers, and you could find more information in Finnish records.
