Andrew emigrated to the USA on July 5, 1863, and his first home in America was in Chicago, IL. On August 22, 1864 he married Mary Anderson/Bowman in Chicago. Mary Anderson/Bowman was born in Mora, Dalarna, Sweden on January 6, 1840 to Andrew and Karin (Mattsdotter) Mattson, whose other Swedish born children were; Martin (1835-????), Karin (1834-????), Anna Peterson (1846-1920), and Andrew (1849-1919).
