Nils worked as a "mönsterskrivare" in the army. He was munstered in 1686 to Närke-Värmlands regemente, Kapten Örnströms kompani, in 1693, 1694 to Jösse Härads kompani and in 1711 in Örebro kompani, where he was discharged. Looking at the historical records it appears like he would not have participated in any major battles during his time in the army. [1]
Nils married Kristina Dunder (bef.1675-) as soon as she was of a legal age to marry, and they had ten children.
After his time in the army he worked as a postmaster in Eda Skans. He passed away in Ny when he was 59 years old,
