Four years later, in 1781 he moved again. This time he moved to Alsters parish, Värmlands county, and the farm Bjurerud, to work as a farmhand for the farmer Olof Bengtsson. Anders was at that time 26 years old. At that time a lot of people were living at the farm Bjurerud. One of them was Olof Bengtssons granddaughter Cajsa Jonsdotter, who was eight years old the year Anders started working there. Anders stayed for many years as a farmhand at Bjurerud and later, on December 28 1788, he married Cajsa. Anders was 33 years old at that time and Cajsa was 15.
