  Marriage Notes:

It seems that Zachris and Marta were connected before they were even born. Zachris' grandparents and Marta's great-grandparents were both married in the parish of Urshult on September 21st, 1750. It was a small community and the families must have known each other. Zachris was the son of Ingrid Nilsdotter and Pär Gummesson, while Marta was the daughter of Johan Jonasson and Catharina Carlsdotter. Marta's mother died when she was 10, while Zachris' father died when Zachris was 17 years old. Their surviving parents married a little over a year later and the two families moved in together. Five years later, in 1829, Zachris and Marta married and had three children, Johanna (1829-1900), Johannes (1832-1834), and Catrina (1835-).
