Text source

Per/Peter Leijel was the son of David Leijel of Arbroath [SSNE 824] who had arrived in Sweden in 1638 with his brothers James [SSNE 4934] and Henry [SSNE 3614]. His mother was Catharina Honnon [SSNE 7572] of the Dunfermline family of that name. 'Per' was baptised in Nikolai Kyrka in Stockholm on 11 December 1661. After graduating from Uppsala, Peter became involved in the family business in Alvkarle around 1678. His brothers included David [SSNE 3622] and John [SSNE 1277] while his cousins were Adam Jacobsson[SSNE 836] and Adam Henriksson [SSNE 3772].
