In 1302 Brunnsholm was owned by the Riksdag Magnus Gregersson (Läma) and eventually it passed into the possession of the Lilje family.[1] At the end of the 16th century, Brunnsholm was owned by Anna Stengafvel, married to the commander of Värmland, Rikskammerrad Schering Eriksson Arp.[2]
The farm was then inherited by their daughter Margareta, married to the assessor at the Svea Hovrätt Gorgonius Henriksson Gyllenankar in his third marriage. Gyllenankar died in 1628 and estate was inherited by their son, the governor Gabriel Gyllenankar, 1611–1657. He was married to his cousin, their mothers were sisters, Schering Rosenhane's sister-in-law, Maria Sparre af Rossvik, 1613–1657, daughter of the equestrian master, governor and governor Bengt Jöransson Sparre.[2]
The next owner was the son Bengt, 1646–1696. He became auscultant at Svea Hovrätt in 1670, assessor in 1674 and vice-president in 1695. He married in 1681 at Bergshammar in Fogdö parish in Södermanland to Christina Magdalena Sack, 1659–1732, daughter of the county governor Carl Filip Sack.
Their daughter Christina Maria inherited Brunnsholm from her parents. She married in 1711 the governor of Skaraborg County, Baron Peter von Danckwardt 1662–1732, in his second marriage. He was the owner of Normestorp in Slaka parish and Ulljeberg in Viby parish, both in Östergötland.
