Alice (—) Ashton

John Anderson Brayton, “The Wrong James and Alice (—) Ashton, Alas!” The New England Historical and Genealogical Register (160[2006]:60): “Therefore, the chapter on the James Ashton family of Providence in The Ancestry of Emily Jane Angell is still the definitive work on the family.”

For the best research on Thomas and Alice (Ashton) Angell and their descendants, see the Angell and Ashton chapters in Dean Crawford Smith (Author) and Melinde Lutz Sanborn (Editor), The Ancestry of Emily Jane Angell, 1844–1910 (Boston: New England Historic Genealogical Society, 1992); Angell begins at page 107 and Ashton begins at page 185.

Disconnected as daughter of Roger Honeychurch

Thank you for the rapid response! How do we clone you? :)

As a corollary question, how valid is the parentage of Alice's sister Mary, wife of James Angell? Since she is right up my direct line, I'm curious. Thanks, Everett Angell

Mary Angell & James Angell were not the parents of Thomas Angell "the Immigrant" - that’s been disproved.
