Life story

A Dragoon of the Smålands Regiment

Sven Nilsson was born December 12, 1792, in Mellby Parish, Jönköping County, Sweden, and served briefly, from October 1815 to November 1816, as a light cavalryman in the Mellby Squadron of the Smålands Light Dragoon Regiment, riding a brown mare born around 1803. He spent the rest of his life moving among small farms and crofts across Höreda, Hult, Nävelsjö, and Björkö parishes in Jönköping County, typical of the itinerant tenant-farming life common to rural Sweden in the era. Sven died November 1, 1864, in Björkö Parish.
