Notes (Individual)
Birth: [Age given in the 1865 census was 51 which, if
correct, would indicate that he was born about 1814.]
Burial: [Buried beside his wife in Quaker graveyard south of
the old Stakland Quaker Meeting House.]
General: One of the early Quakers in Tysvær parish, Rogaland, Norway. "Married to Berte (Brita) Sørensdt Stakland (b. 1817, d. 1891) in Skjold. He bought the farm from (his sister Inger's husband) Jens in 1842 for 400 dollars and gave a promise of pension to his father. Anders was mentioned in the tax rolls for 1851 and 1889. In 1875 they fed a horse, 5 cows, 2 heifers, 22 sheep and 6 goats as well as 3 sheep they kept for others. They sold 3 1/2 barrels of oats and 4 barrels of potatoes. Anders was a Quaker and very giving when people came begging at the door. They had the old farmyard on the hill above the houses on today's farm 7. Here you can still see marks after the houses and their kitchen garden and the houses were then moved up to the upper farm yard where farm yard where farm number one now is. Anders and Berte had no children and they gave the farm to the Quakers (Society of Friends) in Stavanger in 1890. For a time they (the Quakers) rented out the farm but in 1900 they sold to Peder from the neighbor farm Vagen. He paid 4,800 kroner and with payments of 320 kroner. - Anders was brought before the law for his Quaker beliefs."
He is listed in
Slogvig,Tysvær, in the 1865 census (#1158) as age 51 along with his wife
"Berthe Sorensd." (#1159). It
appears that at this time he owns 1 horse, 6 cattle, 30 sheep and quantities of
oats and potatoes. Two young female
servants or maids were living with them, Kari Olsdtr., age 18, and Anne R.
Paulsdtr., age 14.
