Wife: Kaisa Andersdaughter Mielty, fka Luoma. Wedded on 29th of June 1692 in Ilmajoki. B. 1664, d. 1st of December 1758 in Isokyrö.
The first written information on Henrik Anderson and Kaisa Andersdaughter is stated on the marriage records of Ilmajoki. The pair was wed on the 29th of June 1692. However, their recidence is not mentioned. After being wed Henrik and Kaisa lived in Ilmajoki at least in the houses of Hannuksela and Kokkola, where Henrik was a farmhand. Their firstborn, Tuomas, was born in Hannuksela and the second child, Simo, in Kokkola. Documentation indicates that Kaisa was the daughter of Antti Partanen of Mylläri. Based on this it is very possible that Henrik and Kaisa settled and founded a new farm in the neighbour of Mylläri.
Census records from 1695 show farmhand Heikki and his wife Kaisa. According to the same records the family moved some time in 1696–1699 to the upstream of Seinäjoki, near the fork that joins to Seinäjärvi, as residents of a new farm. The place is nowadays called Luomankylä of Peräseinäjoki. Henrik’s family could have lived in Mylläri in “Seinäjoki” in 1696–1698 but according to court records the family eventually moved to Luoma’s new farm in 1698.
The move to Isokyrö has been dated to the years after the Battle of Napue. Tuomas, Henrik’s oldest son, stayed as the master of the house in Luoma while the rest of the family moved to Orismala in Isonkyrö to the Mielty house. The people who moved were Henrik Anderson and his wife as well as the boys Simo, Kaarle and Juho – Heikki wasn’t mentioned yet. Henrik’s second oldest son, Simo, married the widow of Isonkyrö’s Mielty whose previous husband Krister Mielty had fallen in the Battle of Napue. It meant that Simo became the next master of the Mielty house. According to church records the move to Isokyrö happened around 1717 because Henrik Anderson and his wife had still went to a Confession in Luoma in the Boxing Day of 1716.
