Abel von Minden / Abell

Abel von Minden / Abell



This family begins with Henrik Abel von Minden, and the Unintroduced nobility of Sweden has him as a recipient of estates in 1571. He died before 1604 and is said to have married Elin Tomasdotter (Ryting), daughter of Tomas Jönsson Ryting and Karin Gödriksdotter (of the younger Fincke family).

Their son, Johan Abell, died after 1606.

There is another Henrik Abel von Minden mentioned, who was active in 1669. It is possible that he was the son or grandson of Johan Abell or a cadet of some other branch of the family.
