the very difficult position of Swedish ambassador, until
he received in 1662 the Lord-Lieutenancy of Kopparberg,
in Sweden.1
Two other Duwalls are mentioned at the close of the
XVIIth century : Edward Duwall, who was made a Captain
in 1673, and Albrecht Duwall, Captain in Uplands infantry
regiment, who was tried for the murder of a peasant,
found guilty, and executed in 1682, on the 28th of June.
Space forbids to do much more than mention a few
more names of Scottish officers in Sweden towards the end
of the XVIIth century. There was Captain Andrew
Frizell,2 son of Thomas Frizell, who came across from
Scotland as page to Jacob Spens, the elder; Patrick
Kinnimund, who fell during the siege of Hetsin in 1661 ;
John Laurin, who died as Governor of Marstrand in 1698 ;
Colonel Thos. Livingsteen,3 whose noble birth is attested
by George Fleetwood in 1666; John Orcharton, who
had levied Scottish troops with Baron Cranston, but saw
them quickly melting away during the terrible siege of
Thorn in 1658, and who afterwards, through the
intercession of General Forbus, got the appointment of
Krigsråd;4 Jacob Cahun or Caun, who did excellent
1 Palmskjölds Coll, in the University Library of Upsala. Added to
the above notes written by Gustaf Duwall himself, are English letters
of Will. Macdougall (Edinburgh, 29th March, 1656, and Henry
Macdougall of Mackerstoun, 16th January, 1656), mostly on genealogical
matters. The latter sends a birth-brief from Edinburgh. It appears
that the estate of Mackerstoun was bought by the Earl of Roxburghe.

Duwall and his brother in the same Library.
2 His noble descent is attested by Hugo Hamilton, Thos. Hamilton,
and Jacob Spens, at Stockholm on ist December, 1663.
3 He also was testified as of noble family by W. Barclay and Orcharton,
who append their seals, and state that Livingstone had been a relation of
the Earl of Calendel (?) (see P alms kj’old1 s Geneal. Samml. Upsala Bill.).
