Dr. Timen Stiddem was probably born at Hammel in Skanderbo rg, Denmark (near
Arhus), or the Netherlands (or possibly Sweden). He was li ving in Gothenburg,
Sweden in the 1630s. He was no doubt anxious to learn abou t the new world
being colonized by the Swedish, known as "New Sweden" (pres ent day Delaware).
Dr. Stiddem signed on as a ship's barber-surgeon for a voya ge to New Sweden.
Dr. Stiddem sailed three times for North America (arrivin g twice). He went
to New Sweden the first time in 1638 aboard the ship calle d the "KALMAR
NYCKEL", the first of Sweden's attempts to establish a colo ny in New Sweden.
The "KALMAR NYCKEL" landed at the "Rocks" or Fort Christin a (present day
Wilmington, Delaware) on March 29, 1638. Dr. Stiddem firs t married in
Sweden. His first wife and children were murdered near Pue rto Rico in 1649
during the ill-fated Swedish voyage to America aboard the " KATT." He returned
to Sweden to remarry and sail again with his wife on Sweden 's Tenth Expedition
aboard the "ORN" (Eagle), which arrived in New Sweden on Ma y 22, 1654. This
was Dr. Timen Stiddem's last trip from his homeland, Sweden . He stayed and
settled in New Sweden at Fort Christina, or what was to bec ome Wilmington,
Delaware. In 1680, following his second wife's death, he m arried Christina
Ollesdotter, the widow of Wallraven Janssen de Vos. Christ ina was a daughter
of Olof (Olle) and Elice Thorsson. (Olof came to New Swede n as a midshipman
on a Swedish ship, the "KALMAR NYCKEL," in 1641. (Ref: Ama ndus Johnson,
