Per my records: Nils Larsson arrived in New Sweden on the SWAN in 1648 and , during the Rising's administration, served as a gevaldiger (policeman). By 1668, he had adopted the name Frande, meaning "kinsman" or "blood relative" in Swedish. In that year, with Olle Rawson and Olle Jonsson, he was granted a permit by the New Jersey governor to buy West Jersey lands from the Indians. His own residence at the time was at Upland, where he continued to live until his death in December 1686.
Cliff, can you send me your documentation of this English Friend line? I will post it on the website with the documentation.
