Timeline history found here.
New Sweden (Swedish: Nya Sverige, Finnish: Uusi Ruotsi) was a Swedish colony along the lower reaches of Delaware River in North America from 1638 to 1655 in the present-day American Mid-Atlantic states of Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Fort Christina, now in Wilmington, Delaware, was the first settlement. Along with Swedes and Finns, a number of the settlers were Dutch. New Sweden was conquered by the Dutch in 1655, during the Second Northern War, and incorporated into New Netherland.

- #62 John Mattson (Great Mantau Creek, 200 acres): Sometimes known as John Dalbo (after his stepfather), John Mattsson was probably older than his brother Peter, although no reference to his age survives. He married by 1672 Maria Lom, daughter of Mans Svensson Lom and step=daughter of Lars Andersson Collinus, who married Lom's widow. Lars Andersson Collinus arranged for him to have a quarter interest in the plantation owned at Moyamensing with Anders Bengtsson (#14) and Olof Stille (see #39). John and Maria Mattsson sold this land on 25 Sept. 1684 and were described s being "late of Philadelphia County but now of Great Mantaes Creek" when the deed was acknowledged on 6 Dec. 1684. Although John Mattsson's household had eleven persons in the 1693 census, several of these were nephews and nieces, children of Lars Lock and Beata Lom (see #68). John and Maria Mattsson's known children were three sons, Matthias, Mans and Anders, and at least four daughters, including Anna (married Stephen Jones in 1693, see #59), Gertrude (see #59), and Maria. Maria and other daughters (unnamed) may have been born after 1693. John Mattsson died in 1701; his wife predeceased him.
