Text source

George William Fleetwood was the son of George Fleetwood [SSNE 2208]. He was registered as a student at Uppsala in 1684. He is probably the same as the George William Fleetwood registered as a student at Lund university in 1685.This is further presumably the same man who joined Jönköping regiment in 1688 as "förare" and became an ensign there in 1689. He became a lieutenant in 1694. In 1698 he became regimental quartermaster and two years later he was a captain. On 30/4 he was major with Göran Gyllenstierna's regiment
