Strömsborg

Strömsborg by Per Lundqvist
Strömsborg är ett torp som ligger på Sundets västra kant, precis utmed gränsen till Korsbo. Det är från början byggt som undantagsstuga till knekten, när han pensionerades från sin tjänst. Men när man sålde av Sundet från frälset 1911 följde Strömsborg med i affären, men styckades 1929 ? av och blev ett eget torp (Ekvik 3:11). Knekten Svanström hade dock rätt enligt ensittarlagen att bo kvar där under sin och hustruns livstid. Det består av ett hus av normal torpstorlek med en lagård för två stycken nötkreatur, en bod samt en jordkällare. Åke Rickard byggde under sin tid där till det, så att det idag ser ut som Southfork i Dallas. Första gången jag har hittat någon skriven där är 1877 och familjen kommer från Sundet:
Avskedade knekten Karl Johan Svanström f. 1823, hustrun Anna Sofia Jonsdotter f. 1826 de hade under tiden i Sundet fått barnen Karl Oskar f. 1848 (1872-76 skriven som Karl Oskar Hylen nr 72 vid livgrenadjärerna), Johan August f. 1851, Sofia Matilda f. 1856 (senare till Räfshult), Charlotte Eleonora f. 1858 (senare till Ljusne), Adolf Ferdinand f. 1862, Frans Evald f. 1865, Hilma Ottilia f. 1868, de yngsta bör ha flyttat med.
Nästa jag hittat är arbetarkarlen Axel Valdemar Johansson och hustrun Alida Sofia Andersson som 1912-07-09 får dottern Dagmar Margareta.
Hämtat ur Sveriges bebyggelse från år 1959 är den som vi nog mest har i minnet, sågverksarbetaren David Lundgren och hustrun Emmy de har barnen Maj och Britta. Torpet övertogs på 1970-talet som sommarstuga av Britta med maken Åke Rickardsson samt barnen Donald, Dag, Urban, Bo, Margareta samt Ted. I början var de bosatta hos Brodds i Broddebo, och när Urban föddes sa Ebba “jag förstår inte hur de kan hitta på namn till alla barn”.

Name Choice
“Sancho Panza by name is my own self, if I was not changed in my cradle.” — Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547-1616), Don Quixote
Name Choice
“Name Choice Freedom is not a new concept; it’s just that few people exercise or realize that they have such freedom. The result is that nearly every woman gives up her name at marriage and nearly every child is given the surname of fathers.“
The Lucy Stone League is dedicated to:
- Equal rights for women and men to retain, modify and create their names, because a person’s name is fundamental to her / his existence.
- Equal actual frequency of name retention, modification and creation between men and women at marriage and throughout life.
- Equality of patrilineal / matrilineal name distribution for children.

Barnett Cemetery
I received the following from a Barnett researcher, but I’ve forgotten who it was. If you recognize this write-up, please let me know.
Barnett Cemetery is located on what was the original land bought by John I. Barnett in Barnett Township Section 34 and registered in 1831. It is off the road perhaps about 1/4 mile. This cemetery was deeded to the township October 27, 1953 and accepted on April 5, 1955. It is recorded in deed book 80 page 133. The Township is supposed to care for this cemetery and a strip of land given as right of way. Instead, Barnett is a cemetery forgotten by the powers that be, as you can see in the picture below.
To get this picture I had to cross through about an acre of corn. This only being possible because a very kind neighbor of the cemetery guided me through the corn. She said that until the present owners of the land next to her moved in there was at least a path to the cemetery. This cemetery not only holds the remains of some of the oldest pioneers in the County, they were also soldiers in several wars. Buried there is John Barnett, a soldier in the war of 1812. I am listing below a list of people buried there that was received by my mother from Oscar Cromwell 1959.

Horne
According to tradition, the first Horne in America was Dutch. His father died in London, his pregnant mother made the rest of the trip to America alone, and delivered her baby in Baltimore. I have not been able to identify this unknown ancestor.
The earliest proven ancestor of this family was John Horne (1736-1840), a physician educated at the University of Edinburgh, who came from Carlisle in Cumberland to America about 1800. The family was first documented in North Carolina, but might have previously lived in Delaware. One branch of George’s descendants moved to Georgia, then in the late 1850s to Indiana.
William S. Horne (1833-1896) of Madison County, Indiana served in the Union Army as a drummer. He was kicked in the head by a mule at the Battle of Palmetto Ranch (11 May 1865, in Texas), and discharged as disabled . . . one of the last casualties of the Civil War. After the war, William moved to Missouri, where he married Rachel Roberson, a Cherokee who had been a Confederate sympathizer. His pension application shows that the family was destitute and moved frequently. Their house burned in 1896, and William died a few months later.
William’s son George Rufus Redmond Horn (1876-1969) worked as a railroad fireman in Nebraska. He was the first to spell the name without the final e. Many of his descendants have maintained the tradition of working for the railroad. George’s daughter Evelyn Horn married Dudley Howery.
