Person:Olaf Thomasson (1)

Acout Olaf Thomasson

From "Thomas Jacobsson the Finn and his Thompson Descendants", by Dr. Peter Stebbins Craig:

Olof Thomasson, the second son, was also born in Sweden. As presumably the eldest son of Thomas Jacobsson, he inherited his father’s 200-acre plantation at “Bread and Cheese Island.” In 1689 he added 200 acres more, half of which he sold to Bengt Pålsson (son of Pål Persson) in 1697.

Illness struck in 1699. Olof Thomasson wrote his will on 4 November 1699, by which he left one of his plantations at Bread & Cheese Island to his eldest son Peter, his plantation on Mill Creek to his second son Paul Thomasson, and his home plantation on Bread & Cheese Island to his youngest son Olle Thomasson. He died before 1701, when his widow was listed owner of his properties. His widow Helena was still living in 1704 when she was granted £4 by John Hans Steel­man, but she died soon thereafter.
