Biography

Born 1784 in Lungsund (S). Died 16 June 1856 in Ämterud, Lungsund (S). Buried 22 June 1856 in Lungsund (S). Lena is not to be found in the birth register of Lungsund. This may depend on the fact that she was born in Fogdehyttan, Färnebo, where her parents moved in 1781. But it seems to be a fact that Katarina and even Olof Hindriksson moved back and forth between Kungsbotorp and Färnebo. In 1783 it is reported that Katarina Månsdotter moved from Kungsbotorp to Färnebo and in 1786 that Olof Hindriksson and Katarina Månsdotter moved from Kungsbotorp to Färnebo. According to notes in some of the church books Lena was born in Lungsund, which seems to be difficult to prove. Lena got a child out of wedlock in 1806. His name was Anders Andersson and he became stepson in the family when Lena got married to Lars Jansson. It may be noted that Lena's son Jan (Larsson) later on got married to his cousin Kajsa Bengtsdotter, the daughter of Lena's sister Anna Olsdotter.
