Since he was referred to as a "volunteer" when he married in 1797, I figured that he must have done some kind of military service before 1808. A "volonteer" in this context means someone recruited for a limited time period. I found him in the second "amiralitetsvolontärregimentet" (admirality recruited regiment?), as number 32. He was recruited on May 26, 1795. The contract was for 12 years (i.e. until 1807). It is stated that he was 22 years old at the time of recruitment and that he was born in Kronobergs län (county). His patronymic surname was "Hansson". In the first muster roll from 1796 we find that he served on a ship named "Manligheten".
