Notes - He was a soldier. He might have been the Sven Jonsson, born 20 December 1719 at Kullstugan in Dalhem, and christened 27 December 1719, son of Jonas Svensson and Kerstin Svensdotter. He came to Kullstugan from Westansjö at the time of his marriage in 1744. The earliest reference I find for the surname Wåhlstrand is the 1749 christening record for his son Anders.

"I believe, from everything I have learned, that Sven Jonsson Höckert was in the military and took the name Höckert. I can't find or figure out where the name Wåhlstrand comes from though. Sven Jonsson Wåhlstrand was born December 20, 1719 in Westansjö, Dalhem, Kalmar, Sweden. He was christened December 27, 1719, son of Jonas Svensson and Kerstin Svensdotter. He came to Kullstugan from Westansjö at the time of his marriage in 1744. The earliest reference found for the surname Wåhlstrand is the 1749 christening record for his son Anders.

Wåhlstrand is most definitely a military name which Sven acquired when joining the army sometime around 1740. Before that he was just known as Sven Jonsson (=Jon's son). His father's name must have been Jon or Jonas. There was a Sven born in Dalhem parish on Dec 20, 1719 - son of Jonas Svensson in Domra and his wife Kerstin Svensdotter. This might be our Sven, but there is no real evidence so this is just my assumption.

Duwall Family in Sweden
The Macdowalls of Makerston descend from Sir Dougal MacDowall, younger son of Sir Dougal, 2nd of Garthland. Of this line, Tobias Albert Macdowall of Makerston (abt 1541-1641) emigrated from Scotland to Mecklenburg, and much later, about 1594, settled in Sweden. In 1626 he was Baliff of Örbyhus and Tierp in Uppsala län. He died in 1641, nearly 100 years old, having outlived seven of his nine sons - all of whom were officers in the Swedish army. His son Jakob Albrektsson Duwall (1589-1634) had a distinguished military career and was posthumously created a Baron in 1674.
Baron Sven Johan Duwall (1746-1819), a descendant of Jakob Duwall, had an estate at Tyllinge in Dalhem. His bailiff (befallningsman or betjänt) was Jonas Svensson Wåhlstrand (1747-1800), an ancestor of the Svanström family.
1. Sven Jonsson Wåhlstrand (1719-1778), Soldier at Kullstugan in Dalhem. He married Anna Andersdotter.
2. Jonas Svensson Wåhlstrand (1747-1800), Baliff of Tyllinge in Dalhem. He married Helena (Lena) Persdotter.
3. Anna Ingrid Wåhlstrand (1782-1850). She married Peder Jönsson Honnett (1780-1831), a cavalry soldier at Börsebo in Gärdserum. He fought in the Napoleonic Wars, was taken prisoner in 1805 and never returned. He is thought to have died at a prison camp in Russia, with others of his unit.
4. Inga Lena Honnett (1803-1870). She married Jonas Svanström (1794-1881), a tailor at Landsberg u Broddebo in Gärdserum.
