SWEDENBORG’S ANCESTRY.
was traced by Secretary Palmschöld from Fale Bure, the
avenger of Saint Ericus’ death, you can probably get from
Chamberlain von Walcker ; for he, with the Cronstedts, also
descends from Mårten Hanson. *
But to return to the Behms. Isac Behm lies buried in
Rörstel church in Roslagen, where he was possessed of an
estate in fee; upon his tomb there is almost the same coat
of-arms which is upon the tomb of our maternal grand-father
in Salberget. He had two sons. The name of the eldest I
do not remember : he had a son in that war who was captain
of horse in the East-Gothland regiment. This was the same
who in the time of Charles XI looked after so much hidden
treasure (rösen ). The name of the other was Michael Behm ;
he was an officer at the court of Queen Christina, the mother
of Gustavus Adolphus, who had Gefle for her jointure. His
* According to Anrep48 the relation between the Behm family, and the
Palmsköld, Cronstedt, and von Walcker families, was not through Mårten
Hanson, but through his wife Ingrid Pedersdotter. In Vol. I, p. 422,
this author makes the following statement respecting Peder Hansson, the
ancestor of the family “Cedersköld;" "Peder Hansson," citizen and member
of the council in Gefle, died in 1612. He was married to Ingrid Pedersdotter
(born 1574), daughter of Peder Pedersson from Helsingland, citizen and
merchant in Gefle. Ingrid Pedersdotter was afterwards married to Mårten
Hansson Rödbeck, councillor in the same town."
By her marriage with Peder Hansson, Ingrid Pedersdotter had two
sons: 1. Elias Pedersson Gavelius, burgomaster of Gefle: one of whose
sons- in -law was Sigfrid Wolker, the father of Chamberlain von Walcker,
and another was Eric Larsson Palmsköld, the father of Secretary Palms
köld; his son Petrus Elias Gavelius was ennobled , and assumed the name
“ Cedersköld ;" 2. Dr. Peder Pedersson Gavelius, who was the ancestor of
the noble family of “Cronstedt."
By her marriage with Mårten Hansson Rödbeck, Ingrid Pedersdotter
had one daughter, Anna Mårtensdotter Rödbäck, who was married to the
burgomaster Johan Eskilsson in Söderhamn; their daughter Catharina
Johansdotter was married to Assessor Albrecht Behm, the maternal grand
father of Emanuel Swedenborg and of Peter Schönström (see " Anrep"48
Vol. I, p. 134, and also our Document 9, B) ; while another daughter
Ingrid Johansdotter was married to Abraham Momma, ennobled under the
name of Reenstierna, a patriotic merchant and banker in Stockholm , who
instituted many manufactures and iron-works in Sweden, and advanced
money to the government. Their daughter Anna Maria Reenstierna was
the second wife of Peter Schönström , brother of Bishop Swedberg, see
" Anrep," Vol. III, p. 318.
