“1695
hörde gården till roten nr 10 Råbock och var taxerad till 442 bdl r j (bandland
reducerad jord)”
= In 1695 the farm belonged to the "rote" No 10 Râbock (Roe-buck) and was assessed to 442 sheaf
land, reduced area.
Up to around 1900
hade been assessed and grouped into entities of about
the same value (rotar = "squads"), each of which
had to recruit a soldier and to ensure part of his
livelihood.
Most soldiers were owners of small farms or farmer's sons. In peacetime
they were called up regularly
for a few weeks for training. For practical reasons
each "rote" was given a number and a name, which
was also given to each soldier serving for that particular
"rote". In many cases the soldier's name was
taken over by the descendants as a farm name.
The result was that two or more families could exist with the same farm
name, emanating from different
soldiers having served for the same "rote".
