He and Maria Pettersdotter asked to have the banns published 1866-08-31. Maria's brother Jan Pettersson is the owner of the farm nr. 7 in Kvarnfallet.

In 1885 there's a new maid coming to the farm and she, Anna Lovisa Jansdotter from Fågelvik, will in 1887 be Lars Jansson's new wife and the children's mother. The family was soon further enlarged by 3 children at this time. The plans to emigrate were now slowly emerging and at the summer in 1900 the matter was settled.
