Joachim Cronman (circa 1640 – March 5, 1703) was an owner of estates in Livonia and a Colonel for the Swedish Empire in the late 17th century. He was the Commandant of the Neumünde fortress.〔〔 ==Biography== Joachim Cronman was the son of Hans Detterman Cronman (1590–c1645). Hans was the war commissar for the Swedish Empire. Hans had been knighted as Lord Cronman by Christina, Queen of Sweden on March 9, 1638. He became Lord of Alatskivi Castle in Swedish Livonia in 1642.〔Genealogisches Handbuch der baltischen Ritterschaften, Teil 2 Estland, Bd. 3, Görlitz, 1930, (s.19 )〕 Joachim's mother was Ursula Kordes (1600–1675), and she was the daughter of Joakim Kordes and Ursula Gantschau.〔〔Gabriel Anrep lists his siblings as: Johan Detterman Cronman (1618–?); Vilhelm Cronman (c1617–1656); Anna Catharine Cronman I (1620–?) who married Colonel Frans von Knorring (1626–1694); Christina Cronman (c1625–1687) who married Joakim George Fredrick von Rohr (c1625–1687) and he died in the Battle of Narva; Elisabeth Cronman (1630–1687); and Fritz Cronman (c1640–?) who was a diplomat.〕 His brother was Fritz Cronman and his sisters were Elisabeth Cronmann who married captain Johann Schulmann, landlord of Nova-Bura in Ingria; and Anna Catharina Cronman I (1620–1685) who married Frans von Knorring (1626–1694).〔Gabriel Anrep incorrectly lists Anna Catharina Cronman I (1620–?) as the wife of Hans Christoffer von Rohr I (1626–1700) because they are the same age. She would be the ''sister'' of Joachim Cronman. Gustaf Elgenstierna corrected the Anrep genealogy around 1925. He has an Anna Catharina Cronman II (c1660–1661) who died young, and Anna Catharina Cronman III as the wife of Hans Christoffer von Rohr I (1626–1700). This makes her the ''daughter'' of Joachim Cronman, which puts her at the proper age for bearing the children of von Rohr. Hans would be about 30 years older than her. This error has been repeated in many online genealogies.〕〔〔 Joachim Cronman attended the University of Tartu. He married Lunetta Makeléer (1639–1693) on August 9, 1657 in Göteborg, Sweden. Lunetta was the daughter of Hans Makeléer, 1st Baronet who was the Lord of Gåsevadholm, and Hageby in Sweden. Together, Cronman and his wife had the following children: *Ursula Cronman (1660–1745), she married Christoffer Fredrik von Grothenhielm (1655–1705).〔 *Anna Catharina Cronman II (c1661–1661), who died as an infant *Johan Cronman (1662–1737), he became Governor of Malmö.〔 *Hedvik Elisabeth Cronman (1663–1699) who married Henrik Aminoff (1653–?).〔 After her husband's death she married Simon von Rohr (c1650–1721). *Anna Catharina Cronman III (c1660–1685) married Captain Hans Christoffer von Rohr (1627-c.1712) and had as their child: Joachim von Rohr (1678–1757), a Lieutenant Colonel and Commandant of the Dalarö fortress. Hans Christoffer von Rohr I was killed in action in the Battle of Narva.〔〔 *Eva Maria Cronman (1675–1706) who married rittmeister Arend Wilhelm von Rehbinder (?–1711), lord of the Jõesse manor in Martna Parish. Cronman became a Colonel on January 23, 1679. He was later stationed at the Narva fortress. On March 10, 1685 he was assigned to the Savolaks and Nyslott regiment.〔〔 He later served as Commandant of the Neumünde fortress.〔〔 He died on March 5, 1703 at Neumünde.〔
