LINDSAY, WILLIAM [SSNE 802]
Text source
William Lindsay became a burgess in Stockholm on 28 April 1649 and paid 30 daler for the privilege. The same year he wrote a letter in German to Jakob Momma-Reenstierna from Västerås and was also involved in a case with James Gregor [SSNE 7350], a fellow Stockholm burgess. William was perhaps a relative of the two Lindsay brothers in Gothenburg, Hans [SSNE 4685] and Jacob [SSNE 4838]. By 1652 he was still trading with the Momma-Reenstierna family and his accounts survive.
