Erik was born on July 27th, 1798 in Korsbyn, Varmland, Sweden to unknown parents.

He married Cathrina Pearson on December 26th, 1819 in Varmland when he was twenty one and she was twenty three years old. They had seven children together.

Their first child, Stina, was born on June 8th, 1820 in Sellbodul, Vermland, Sweden.

Erik died in 1830* in Forskog, Silbodal, Varmland, Sweden.

Their sixth child, Gustav, was born on April 15th, 1833 in Forskog, Silbodal, Varmland, Sweden.

Their seventh and last child, Ole, was born on January 30th, 1836 in Forskog, Silbodal, Varmland, Sweden.

I have no other information for him.

*This date is clearly an error.  The last names of their last two children were "Eriksen" which means Erik's sons.
