Ian Waterstone is noted as being prosecuted in Vadstena in 1579 for illegal commerce where he claimed to be a burgher of Linköping. In 1582 he was a merchant, and possibly a burgher of Stockholm. In the 1590s he was an officer in Livonia and by 1608 he had forfeited an estate in Vadstena. Source: J.Berg and B.Lagercrantz, Scots in Sweden, (Stockholm, 1962), p.23
