Anders Eriksen Lysgaard was born in the village of Tretten (in the present-day Øyer Municipality) in Oppland county, Norway. He was the youngest of seven children born into a farming family in the traditional region of Gudbrandsdal. His family lived on the farm Jevne in Øyer.

Anders Lysgaard was married in 1786 with Ingeborg Larsdatter Svennes (1771-1858) and took over Svennes, a sizable farm near the village of Biri.

He represented Christians amt (now Oppland) at the Norwegian Constituent Assembly at Eidsvoll Manor in 1814 where he favored the independence party (Selvstendighetspartiet). He was later a member of the Parliament of Norway.
