Nils Hansson Bargren

[Art Berggreen]

I hope you don't mind questions in English.
I'm trying to find information about Nils Hansson Bargren who was a member of the Svea livgardes grenadjärbataljons in Stockholm.  Around 1728-1730 he was a member of Captain Wrangel's company.  I believe I have found him in the 1728 Generalmönsterrullor (#83, page 1095). I think that entry indicates he enrolled in 1719.  Any help transcribing and translating that entry would be welcome.
Several years ago another forum member said that he had died 18 Feb 1742 in Fredrikshamn (Finland), but I never got a source citation.  The Generalmönsterrullors seem to end about 1740.  What became of the regiments after that year?  Could some have become Finska regiments?

Thanks for any help,

You will find him in the roll for 1721 under no 65 (page 1038) in captain Wrangel's company. (Generalmönsterrullor, Arkiv med löpande volymnumrering, SE/KrA/0023/0/1122 (1721), bildid: A0029179_00527). He was enlisted on October 25, 1719 and was 33 years old in 1921 and born in Skåne.

And no, the rolls do not end in 1740, but the company got a new commanding officer, captain Redeken. You will find Nils Bargren in the roll for 1741 at page 534 (Generalmönsterrullor, Arkiv med löpande volymnumrering, SE/KrA/0023/0/1132 (1741), bildid: A0029190_00275) and in the roll for 1745 at page 654 (Generalmönsterrullor, Arkiv med löpande volymnumrering, SE/KrA/0023/0/1133 (1745), bildid: A0029191_00333). The latter roll reports his death at Fredrikshamn on February 18, 1742.

Many thanks Bertil!

I assume there is no more detailed information about his origin than Skåne län.

On Arkivdigital the Svea livgardes grenadjäinrbataljons parish records end in 1741 so that confused me.

Is there any mention about cause of death?

Best regards,

Hello Art

No I'm sorry. It only says: dead at Fredrikshamn, so it was probably some kind of illness. If he had fallen in battle or died because of wounds, I believe that would have been stated in the note.

Thanks for your effort.  It looked like a lot of that company died at Fredrikshamn.
