Tracing Military Ancestor - Bohus dragonregemente

Classification: Query
Surnames: Alsing, Dahlman
Johan Benedikt Alsing, born 1691 in Bohuslän, son of Sten Alsing ("kaptenlöjtnant" at Bohusläns kavalleriregemente, d.1712,Gadebusch)
Johan Benedkit Alsing, was "löjtnant" in 1742 of the Bohus dragonregemente. He was dismissed in 1748. He died in 1763. According to Adam Lewenhaupt's "Karl XII's Officere", Johan Benedikt Alsing was married and had children.

I have tried to locate household examination rolls for his family, but I don't have a clear idea of where he would have lived throughout his military career, except for the brief time he lived in Hålta. I do know that two of his children were born in Hålta, in 1745 & 1746. I'd really like to find a probate record for Johan Benedikt, but don't think the records exist. I am trying to establish a connection between Johan Benedikt and Sten Carl Alsing b. 28 Jan 1744. d.22 Nov 1808, Naverstad. His marriage record (g. m.Anna Märta Dahlman in 1776 in Nössemark, Älvsborg) and death record do not indicate his place of birth.
Can anyone suggest where I might look to find more about Johan Alsing? Or where I might be able to find out Sten Carl's parentage?
