Hedenius & Hedenia/Edenia I Pargas/Parainen

[Marco Nurminen]

God kväll, alla! Jag söker ursprung för tre systrar vid efternamn Hedenius som bodde I Pargas under sena 1600-talet ända till mitten av 1700-talet; Det gäller Catharina Henriksdotter Hedenia/Edenia (Ca 1679 - Dec 1742), Anna Henriksdotter Hedenia (Ca 1683 - Nov 1741), och Sara Henriksdotter Hedenia (ca 1688 - ca Oct 1729)

Sara gifte sig 1724 med Fagerkulla bonden, Johan Karlsson, f I Sydänperä 1698; Då nämns hon som änka.

Catharina gifte sig med länsman Johan Thomasson Collander, och de fick tillsammans åtminstone fyra barn; Deras dotter, Anna--till skillnad från hennes systrar--använde Edenia som efternamn Istället för Collandra. Anna gifte sig med Häradsskrivaren Henrik Widberg.
Catharina nämns I dödsboken som "Mademoiselle" eller "Madam"

Anna har jag inga uppgifter om förrutom att hon hade benämningen "Jungfru", och att hon blev begraven I Pargas Kyrkogården i Nov 1741.

Sara & Anna bodde i Skräbböle med Catharina & Johan Collander från och med ca 1708.

Vet någon mer om dessa personer? :) Uppskattar all hjälp!

An update I can now give on this a year later is a decent chunk of info!
One, that Skräbböle Catharina Henriksdotter Hedenia / Edenia's (https://www.geni.com/people/Catharina-Hedenius/6000000127650064074) children often use the Hedenia name themselves, aswell as Collandra.
After her first husband, Johan Collander (https://www.geni.com/people/Johan-Collander/6000000127651111885), died, Catharina Henricsdotter Edenius married sailor Johann Petersohn from Königsberg, ca 1720. (https://www.geni.com/people/Johann/6000000222628116853). He died 1725 and seemingly only had one child together—Anna Johansdotter Edenia(https://www.geni.com/people/Anna-Edenia/6000000174949230275), who would later marry Länsman, Uppbördsskrivare, befallningsman & liquidationscommissary in Pargas, Hendrich Widberg / Wiberg(https://www.geni.com/people/Hindrich-Widberg/6000000055490247845), also of unclear origin despite his success in life, though likely born in Widkulla / Wikulla. He seems to have been of the Finnish speaking families in Pargas.
Anna died of 'jail sickness' in Turku, 1786 after being imprisoned for a grand theft committed with one of her sons.
Her mother died likely Dec 1742 and was buried on the 12th in the 'Finnish church' in Pargas, or the smaller Agricola chapel. After her name and age is written something I cannot see but would assume it may be a birthdate? '63 Ani (years). 7.Meis?: 27: (???). On other bases, it has been estimated to the year 1679.

Clearly, there is a discrepancy in the burials, with some sisters & children buried in the Finnish church and others not.

Her children:
Sara Johansdotter Collandra / Hedenia — married Turku burgher, merchant and sailor Anders Petreii; she died just a year later in child birth, and was buried in Pargas Finnish church. They had one child, who died the same day as Sara; they were buried together.

(https://www.geni.com/people/Anders-Petrei/6000000214995136821?through=6000000214752840831)
Petreii likely remarried though the trail ends for me in 1735, when his old mother in law brought a court case against him regarding 'fordran'.
Likely the same as Anders Josefsson Petrej, also merchant and burgher in Turku, who later moves.

Catharina Johansdotter Collandra / Hedenia (https://www.geni.com/people/Catharina-Collandra/6000000214752768834) — born ca 1705 in Skräbböle Länsmannagård... Later married 18th Mar 1731 with burgher Petter Hartvik / Hartwijk; no children I could find, as she died Apr 20th 1736, just before the birth records start. Hartwik died the 22nd of Feb 1761 from tuberculosis. He was a fireman later in life, and even noted as having been a cornett in younger days... He married twice more and had at least five children—their fates unknown. Petter Hartvijk is estimated to be born ca 1690, and likely related to the other Hartvijk's found in Turku (Jöran, Anders, Jacob).

Maria Johansdotter Collandra (https://www.geni.com/people/Maria-Collandra/6000000222627893006) - born ca 1700, married the brief Eknäs leaseholder Christer Johansson Ulberg or Ullberg(https://www.geni.com/people/Christer-Ullberg/6000000222628176848), brother to Kemiö gårdsfogde / tilavouti Ludvig Johansson Ullberg.
Maria & Christer seemingly only had one child, Johan Christersson born 21st Dec 1723. She died around 1724.

Thomas Johansson Collander (https://www.geni.com/people/Thomas-Collander/6000000127651440874)— March 12th 1701 (that's my birthday!). He became a volunteer in the Turku Pori infantry Regiment, marrying a Maria Mattsdotter (https://www.geni.com/people/Maria/6000000127651285885) who died Apr 1736—origin unknown, and also if they had any children. Thomas died on the 16th of Sep 1742 in Lahnajärvi, Suomusjärvi.

Catharina thus outlived all of her children, siblings, and her two husbands, which must have been downright awful for her :/

Catharina Henriksdotter Hedenia's siblings are all noted as madame / Mademoiselle, and here's current known info on them:

-Anna Hendr Hedenia — did not marry, and was buried 8 Nov 1741 in a 'Swedish church grave'. Second oldest daughter of The three, born Ca 1683, though she may aswell have her birth date written in her death record... Namely 'f / ex 21 deis / dies'
(https://astia.narc.fi/uusiastia//viewer/?fileId=5880302481&aineistoId=1263692536)
Most other people in the death records do not have the extra date written after them.

-Sara Hendr Hedenia (https://www.geni.com/people/Sara-Hedenia/6000000175265024900?) — first married 1712 to Fagerkulla cavalry-steader Henrik Henriksson(https://www.geni.com/people/Henrik/6000000176195240845), who died sometime before 1725; at least three children together, all with unknown fates. His sister, Elisabeth, married cavalry-steader Johan Torstensson Forsskåhl from Sauvo Osmalax.
In second marriage to Johan Carlsson(https://www.geni.com/people/Johan-Carlsson/6000000127589699214), son of Sydänperä (Norrgård), juryman Carl Gustafsson & Margareta Johansdotter, she had three children—Henrik, who died before 1732; Johan, born in 1727 & died same year; Johan, born 8th Oct 1729 with an unknown fate, disappearing after 1763. (https://www.geni.com/people/Johan/6000000175265464821)
Sara died ca Oct 1729 and was buried on second of Nov (22 p. Dominica Trinitatis) in the Swedish church (the larger). After her name is written '41 An. 9 Sep'. Since they didn't write death dates at this time, I can only assume this is when she turned 41? Unless she had been deceased for nearly two months before burial? Which seems much more unlikely... I would assume this means she was important enough to have her birthdate written down, as this little trait occurs for all her sisters, too, yet not for most other people in the records.

Generally, I think the reason this family is so unknown is because most of them sadly died before they could have any children, and most of the children they did have seem to have died. Much more death in a family than typically seen, even back then.

There is said to be a Hedenius priestly family in Finland though I haven't found anything about them. A Henrik Hedenius (or Hodenius) seems to have lived in Vårfrukyrkosocken based on a court record I found.

Vårfrukyrkosocken = Maaria in Finnish (vårfru = our mother/our = the mother of Jesus, Maria)
