LETTER FROM PETER SCHÖNSTRÖM .
and afterwards, he says, he was the commander opposed
,
to the fleet which Flemming sent from Finland, in which
was the young de Wijk, the handsomest man in Sweden,
whom Isac Behm ordered to be put to death in a very cruel
manner. This Isac Behm married a Wernstedt, whose father
was a colonel, who had married Lucretia, the natural
daughter of duke Magnus.* From her and Colonel von
Wernstedt descended, by one of their daughters,* the
Ribbings of Walstad. She and her husband, with many of the
Ribbings, have their vault in Upsal, a vault older even
than that of the Counts Dona. Blixencronat was married to
one of these Ribbings, and lies buried in the same vault.
His daughter, who is still living, was married to Secretary
Palmschöld ; this Palmschöld is also related to us on our
mother’s side, not through the Behms, but through Mårten
Hanson, whom the people in Helsingland called the father
of the land. The wife or mother -in -law of this Mårten Hanson
was a Rålamb. Our late maternal grandmother also was
third cousin to the old Councillor of State Clas. Rålamb.
Johan Eschilson, our grandmother’s father, who, in the Russian
war, at the time of Count Jacob de la Gardie, was lieutenant
in the cavalry, in Evert Horn’s regiment (the same who was
field-marshal, and fell before Pleschow in 1617), was married
to the daughter of Mårten Hanson. Subsequently he was
burgomaster and factor in Söderhamn. His second wife was
an admiral’s widow, whose name I have forgotten. He lies
buried in Störala church, and has his coat-of-arms upon
his tomb. The genealogical register of Mårten Hanson, which
* Peter Schönström, the writer of this letter, confounds here two
Wernstedts. The elder Wernstedt, Christoffer von Warenstedt, married
Lucretia, daughter of Duke Magnus, one of the sons of Gustavus Wasa.
The younger Wernstedt, Johan von Warenstedt, the son of Christoffer,
who was a colonel, had a daughter Lucretia, who was married to her
step-brother Seved Ribbing - see "Anrep’s Ättartaflor":48 Vol. IV , p. 589.
Moreover, the younger Warenstedt was a colonel, while his father was
governor of the northern part of Sweden.
+ Gustav Blixencrona, who died in 1701, was married to Metta, daughter
of Seved Ribbing. Their daughter Catharina Magdalena, who died in 1745,
was married to Secretary Elias Palmsköld, who died in 1719—see “ Anrep’48
Vol. I, p. 223.
