    Chronology of Colonial Swedes on the Delaware 1638-1713 by Dr. Peter Stebbins Craig Fellow, American Society of Genealogists Fellow, Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania Historian, Swedish Colonial Society originally published in Swedish Colonial News, Volume 2, Number 5 (Fall 2001) Although it is commonly known that the Swedes were the first white settlers to successfully colonize the Delaware Valley in 1638, many historians overlook the continuing presence of the Delaware Swedes throughout the colonial period. Some highlights covering the first 75 years (1638-1713) are shown below: New Sweden Era, 1638-1655 1638 - After a 4-month voyage from Gothenburg, Kalmar Nyckel arrives in the Delaware in March. Captain Peter Minuit purchases land on west bank from the Schuylkill River to Bombay Hook, builds Fort Christina at present Wilmington and leaves 24 men, under the command of Lt. Måns Kling, to man the fort and trade with Indians. Kalmar Nyckel returns safely to Sweden, but Minuit dies on return trip in a hurricane in the Caribbean. 1639 - Fogel Grip, which accompanied Kalmal Nyckel, brings a 25th man from St. Kitts, a slave from Angola known as Anthony Swartz. 1640 - Kalmar Nyckel, on its second voyage, brings the first families to New Sweden, including those of Sven Gunnarsson and Lars Svensson. Other new settlers include Peter Rambo, Anders Bonde, Måns Andersson, Johan Schaggen, Anders Dalbo and Dr. Timen Stiddem. Lt. Peter Hollander Ridder, who succeeds Kling as new commanding officer, purchases more land from Indians between Schuylkill and the Falls of the Delaware. 1641 - Kalmar Nyckel, joined by the Charitas, brings 64 men to New Sweden, including the families of Måns Lom, Olof Stille, Christopher Rettel, Hans Månsson, Olof Thorsson and Eskil Larsson.

Titles and other honorifics are omitted; and Descartes will be made to use ‘you’ and ‘your’ where in fact he always used ‘your Highness’ and ‘she’ and ‘her’. Also omitted: the signing-off flourishes—usually (from Descartes) ‘your very humble and very obedient servant’ and (from Elisabeth) ‘Your very affectionate friend at your service’; and also, in some letters, a penultimate sentence whose only role is to lead into the closing flourish.—Place: Elisabeth writes from The Hague in all her letters (with one exception) through vii.1646, from Berlin through 5 xii.1647, and then from Crossen. All of Descartes’ letters are written from Egmond (Holland) except for two from France in vii.1644, one from The Hague in 6.vi.1647, one from Paris vi.1648) and one last letter from Stockholm.

The recipient was ‘the Commissioner in Our General College of Commerce, by Us Beloved, Noble and Wellb[orn] Johan Palmstruch’ and his ‘Company Co-Participants’. The document detailed the terms on which Palmstruch’s company was authorised to practice banking. The first Swedish bank, Stockholms Banco, had been established. Johan Palmstruch was one of the sons of a wealthy Dutch merchant, Reinhold Witmacker, who had fled from the Duke of Alba and settled in Riga in the early 17th century. His wife, Anna Bielska, came from a Ruthe - nian family in Lithuania. Johan was born (and named Hans) in 1611. When the Swedish army captured Riga a decade later, some merchants fled to Poland or Lithuania but Reinhold Witmacker stayed and cooperated with the new rulers. In 1635 he was granted an estate, Klein Jungfernhof, together with the promise of a Swedish title, but death intervened. In his twenties, Hans Witmacker moved from Riga to the Netherlands and became a burgher of Amsterdam in 1635. Four years later he was seized for failing to pay his debts. 1 After some years in the city gaol, he was trans - ferred in October 1642 to the less harsh debtor’s prison at Voorpoort in The The first bank in Sweden, with Dutch an - 1656 Karl X Gustav grants Johan tecedents, is formed as a private company Palmstruch a charter for an exchange under strong government control.

    Chapter 5. Fiscal Statistics for Sweden, 1670–2011

    5. Fiscal statistics for Sweden, 1670–2011* Klas Fregert and Roger Gustafsson 5.1. Introduction This chapter presents data on central government fiscal measures in Sweden, starting in 1670. Annual data on central government debt are presented from 1670, and on expenditures and revenues from 1719. The aim is to construct measures that are broad, meaningful, and widely used. In practice, this means constructing measures according to the principles in Sweden’s current budget system. Sweden is well suited for this attempt. First, it has been territorially and politically stable to an unusual degree since 1719, when a new instrument of government (regeringsform) was adopted with a representative government. Second, annual data are available in printed form for the whole period. We use Simonsson (1918) for the data on debt in 1670–1718. For the period 1719–1809 we use Åmark’s (1961) monumental study based on archival material. For the period 1810-20 we use Raths- man (1855). From 1821 onwards we use government publications.1 The sources are listed in “Data sources” at the end of the chapter. The chapter is organized as follows. Section 2 presents the definitions used in the calculations. Section 3 describes the flow variables (expenditures, revenues and defi- cits), section 4 the construction and evolution of debt for the fiscal branch of the central government. Section 5 presents consolidated measures for the fiscal and monetary branches of the central government, including seigniorage. Section 6 con- cludes. A companion working paper, Fregert and Gustafsson (2005), describes the data in more detail in a series of appendices, as well as the institutional setting.

The royal ”Placat” of 1666, issued by the governing council under the minority of King Charles XI Sweden, has in some circles in Sweden been hailed as ”the first antiquities legislation of the world”. Ironically, this is very much in keeping with theories, entertained by the 17th century academicians particularly at Uppsala University, that Sweden Thomas Adlercreutz itself was also the origin of all civilisation. This extravagant notion has been fuelled both by Sweden`s military has a law degree from Uppsala success in the Thirty Year`s War and by a very imaginative reading of the Old Testament, compared to remains and University (1971). place names in Sweden.

This paper presents and discusses a series of total and per capita harvest production in Sweden within present borders for the period 1665-1820. The series is based on three main indices: grain prices, subjective harvest assessments and tithes. To calculate per capita production the size of population must be known. In this paper, population growth in Sweden during the 17th century is revised downwards compared to recent studies. The basic finding is that per capita harvests stagnated during the studied period. The annual fluctuations were substantial. Another finding is that, in the short-run, grain prices were more affected by domestic harvests than foreign prices.
