Anders Angerstein is said to have been born in de:Angerstein (Nörten-Hardenberg), Niedersachsen, Holy Roman Empire, [1] with evidence indicating ultimate family origins in Hungary.

[3] Anders Angerstein was married to Anna Katarina Domb. Among his issue was Johan Angerstein.
With craft production authorisation by the Swedish Board of Mines [3] the holdings were extended, subsequently including Vira bruk, Thurbo, and Bispberg, inter alia, [4] remaining in the family until the 19th century. Anders Angerstein is noted for improvements for charcoal piles during his tenure.

They owned ironworks, while operating wharves, and importing material related to shipbuilding. The Grills benefited from mercantilist policy.
