He husband Pål was ill after the crossing and the family relied on charity; in June 1656, Margareta "complained to the Dutch court at Fort Casimir... that Anders the Finn was threatening to take her grain from the field and secured an injunction from the court."[1]

They family moved to Maryland about 1661, although the elder children stayed behind and worked the land at Wild or Indian Point (Skilpot Creek).
