Matts Carlsson Modig 1747-1789 and Anna Persdotter 1749-1789 were my 4th great grandparents on my father's side of the family. They lived in Kälviä, Finland, and Matts was a soldier.
15 January of 1789, Anna died of magref (stomach complaint), and Matts died four days later, also of magref (stomach complaint). Matts and Anna were both buried the same day, 25 Jan 1789.
Matts and Anna were married almost 19 years, and had 9 children together, plus Matts had a daughter with his first wife Maria Samuelsdotter. Maria died in 1769.
Four of Matts and Anna's children died in infancy, two lived what could be considered a normal lifespan, and the other children I have been unable to find information on their deaths.
Their 5th child, Magdlena, was my 3rd great grandmother.
