Probate Record Translation - Maja Stina Nilsdotter, wife of Eric Johansson

G Haux

I believe this is the probate record for Maja Stina Nilsdotter who is the daughter of Nils Adamsson and the wife of Eric Johansson. Since there is a gap in the clerical records I am attempting to piece together the records. I have not been able to determine if they had any children. Does this record state anything about children? It does look like the word Barn is used. Are there any other clues as their life?

The probate makes mention that she has 2 children-a son who has already died and a 3 week old daughter.

The daughter is Brita Maja and her birth record on October 9, 1788 is here: https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0017123_00039#?c=&m=&s=&cv=38&xywh=4116%2C1393%2C2454%2C1317.

I believe this is their marriage record (30 Dec 1784): https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0017124_00029#?c=&m=&s=&cv=28&xywh=2976%2C1245%2C3207%2C1722.

I looked for a son to be born to them between 1784 and 1788, but did not find him.
