He served in the army 31 years and it was probably the reason why Sweden’s king Gustav the third later on(born on the 24th of January 1746 and murdered on the 16th of March 1792) gave Christopher a golden watch manufactured 1781 in Stockholm. The machinery was made by Erik Lindgren and the shell by Petter Strömkvist. The watch can be seen in Porvoo/Borgå citymuseum it is preserved as item number 3937. The testamony to the museum was left after Christopher’s great granddaughter Ida Josefina Federley (1855 - 1912) and included this watch, 2 golden rings a watchchain and an iron and 2 paintings of a Dutch painters. (Source Helsinki Citymuseum yearbook Narinka 1995, article “watches and their bearers” by Merja Herranen at Porvoo Museum.) He lived in Kalvola in Kutisten (Kuttis) kartanossa 1743 - 1745. Source Olli Tiitinen. There lived kihlakunnakirjuri Carl Johann Hindersson Pernovius who most probaly was the one he tought Christopher in his comming profession. C.J. H. Pernovius married to Hevig C. von Schröve. They had a son Carl Adam b. 20 Jan 1740 in Pernå (Pernå-Vius) After that
Christopher lived at the Vialenius family 1746 - 1751 before he married their daughter of the family 4 Oct 1753. His wife’s parents may have helped the couple financially.
As godparents for the first five of Christopher’s children was present Fourier Jonas Ekman (sometimes Eckman) and his wife Christina Aemelea born in Halikko 1 Sep 1710. They were married in Halikko 14 Sept 1731. They lived in Halikko and had 9 children born between 1732 and 1751. Jonas Ekman was born 1699 and baptised in Göteborg Sweden 6 Apr 1699.

A Fourir Jonas Eckman was enrolled into the Savolax regiment 2 Aug 1717. Source Leena Heikelä(Generalmönsterrullam 1720 film 55030. This was not actually the same Jonas Eckman who married Christina Aemelea. Source Wirilander/Olli Tiitinen.
Jonas Ekman (Eckaman Eichman)
Jonas Ekman is more or less the same age as Kristoffer’s father Anton. Jonas Ekman was certainly an armyfriend with Christopher and probably also with Anton Federley.
The working class people in the neighbourhood of Christopher’s wanted to make an official written protest against the feodal masters and Christopher took the mission of do the writing. The outcome was very bad. Many of the people were condemned because of their obstruction.
Kristoffer bought the estate of Pettilä in Uskela 1 May 1782 from Maximilan Carpelan who had bought it 1766 from Maria Eriksdotter the second wife and of Claes Thomasson who owned it since 19.19.1709. In 1799 Christopher gave the Pettilä estate to his daughter Christina Eleanora who married Karl Grönlund. Their youngest son Simon Grönlund inherited then the Pettilä Estate. In 1837 he sold Pettilä to Fil Maist, Ritari Carl Gustav von Bondsdorff. Pettilä became now Karlberg when the new owner bought also other estates in the neighbourhood, Eerikin rälssitila and Akun verotila.
In 1880 Adolf Johan Finne bought Karlberg and sold it in the same year to comtess Marianne Armfelt. She kept it until 1909 when she sold it and from that on it has belonged to the same family. The new owner Herman and Sofia Bock sold main part of Eerikin rälssitila and Akun verotila and kept the rest. The Bock family took the name Pettilä. Pettilä is today owned by Kaarlo Pettilä who celebrated his 60th anniveresry 23.6.2001.

Her unmarrried sister Charlotta Christina Alan b. 1755 d. 7.6.1797 however stayed in Jomala in the estate, Ytterby Hemmanet Nr 8 (Later Hanses) until her death 1797. Anton Christoffer lived in the same quarter and presumably lived together with Charlotta Christina Alan. Charlotta stayed a short time in Utö/Åland but came back to Ytterby in 1787. AC Federley and Charlotta Alan had no children but it is possible that Charlotta Alan gave birth to a child during her temporary stay in Utö. Sources Mantalslängd 1791 page 898 and Mantalalslängd 1792 page 822. Leena Heikelä.

Ytterby hemmanet No 8 in Jomala became the office of the Härdadsskrivare already in 1760. On 23 Oct1794 Kungliga Svenska Kammarkollegiet decide to make Berg in Sund the boställe (home and office) for the Häradsskrivare. in 1799 AC F moved to Berg in Sund. In 1927 the Estate in Berg was transferred to the Åland community. It was never owned by AC Federley.
22 Dec 1795 Kungliga sveska kammarkollegiet decided to sell Ytterby hemmanet Nr 8 to AC F.
The family owned it for 40 years until 15 Dec1835 when they sold it to Johan Petter Pehrson and his wife Catharina Eriksdotter. Lagfart/Lainhuuto was given at Jomala Ting/Käräjät 30 Nov 1836. Source Uppbådsboken i Jomala sida 166 §9. This protokoll is full of extremely interesting details.
AC F kept nearily 20 servants on the fram.

So AC Federley’s family kept the farm until 1835 even if they moved to Turku already in 1807.
On the farm lived during these years the farmer/bonden/talonpoika Henric Hansson and Crofter/Torparen/Torppari Hök.

For a couple of years also Vicehäradshövding Landtman lived there at the time.

I also want to dedicate my best personal thanks to Helena Dahlbom who works in the archive and assisted us in finding the needed sources to investigate this case.

From the estate Berg in Sund AC F’s daughter Clara brought a rocking chair to her and her husband’s Carl Fredrik Avellan’s home in Villilä estate in Nakkila. This rocking chair can still be seen there and one copy has been given to the United States president John F. Kennedy as a present since it is known to be very a very comfortable chair for people with seroius backproblems as was the case with John F. Kennedy.
This rocking chairs has served as a model for rocking chairs allover Finland. Source www.nakkila.fi
