Life Sketch from FamilySearch
"Anders Andersson, better known as Anders the Finn, was sent to New Sweden from the fortress of Älvsborg [Elfsborg] in 1642/43 as a punishment. After becoming a freeman, Anders the Finn encountered difficulties with Governor Printz. Anders and his fellow freemen included in their 1653 petition the prayer that Anders the Finn be allowed "to keep the woods that the Lord Governor has judged him in forfeit of so that his wife and children may not starve to death." Printz countered by claiming it was a "legal judgment," but in a second bill of particulars, presented to Governor Rising in 1654 (again signed by Anders), the freemen stated: "As concerns the rye of Anders the Finn, we have considered his great poverty, and we went to the provost marshall Gregorius Van Dyck and asked him to go to the Governor to ask him to be a little lenient with Anders the Finn, as he would become completely impoverished by this. The Governor, however, made this out as a mutiny, which in truth can never be proven. "In 1663, Anders the Finn removed his wife and family to Deer Point, which he owned in common with Sinnick Broer and Walraven Jansen DeVos on a creek west of Christina that would soon be known as Anders the Finn's Creek, now known as Little Mill Creek. He was at this location by 19 January 1667/8 and received his own patent on 1 September 1669. A month later another patent was issued, to Anders Andersson and 19 of his associates, to erect a mill on Anders the Finn's Creek. In 1670 he sent a note (also signed by his son Justa Andersson) warning of the approach of 25 Indians who threatened to attack the English at New Castle."
