The couple had 11 children all born in Barseback between 1690 and 1708. A bubonic plague epidemic struck Barseback in 1712, reaching the coastal village from Copenhagen. Nils Hansson, his wife Matta, and five of their children died at their residence of #5 Barseback in the epidemic between April 16 and July 1, 1712. Nils Nilsson, their second born son (1691-1772), survived the epidemic and became my 6th great-grandfather.
