Nicholas Minn/Mynn first appears in Swedish service as a captain in James Ramsay's [SSNE 6657 OR 3315] regiment in 1631. He was a captain in David Drummond's regiment in 1635. He was still in service in 1637 at which point he appears to have returned to England to levy for the Swedish army. He notes his six years' service under Sir David Drummond [SSNE 2396], whom he calls "General-Major to the Queen of Sweden", and seeks permission to travel to Germany with 80 men to complete his colonel's and his own company. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stockholm Krigsarkiv, Muster Roll, 1631/16-18; 1632/22; 1635/33,35,36; 1636/16-22; 1637/13-17; 1638/21,22.
