Subject: [ANGELL] Re Angells of Michigan

Hi,

I have a polite request that the queries posted in this list include first

names whenever possible. It would make it much easier to discern whether

there is a connection. That said, I have some information that may be useful

to some of you.

Some of the Angells who descended from Thomas Angell of Rhode Island (b.1618

in England) settled in Clinton County, NY, and stayed there, while their

siblings and/or children made their way farther west, some into Chautauqua

County, NY, etc., and some into Michigan and elsewhere.

My line settled in Tallmadge Township, Ottawa Co., MI in 1835. GGGrandfather

Daniel Angell and friend Ira H. Maxfield traveled with their families from

New York to Ohio and left their families in Ohio while they went to take up

claims in Tallmadge Twp. in1833. Daniel then relocated his family there in

1835. Several of Daniel’s siblings also ended up there.

Briefly, my line goes like this:

Thomas Angell (b.England)

John (b. Providence, Rhode Island)

Daniel (b. Providence, Rhode Island)

Nedebiah/Nedabiah (b. Providence, Rhode Island)

Eseck (b. Providence, Rhode Island)

Eseck and his family migrated to Berkshire Co., Massachusetts - then

Pownal, Vermont - before finally settling in Clinton Co., New York.

Asa (b. Rhode Island)

Daniel (b. Clinton Co., New York) - (See above for Daniel’s migration)

Some of Daniel’s brothers and sisters also came ‘west’. The eldest,

Richard, ended up in Ohio, but at least one of his sons, George Ransom

Angell, went later to Ottawa Co., Michigan. Daniel’s brother Esek and family

relocated from Ohio to Tallmadge Twp., MI, in 1841. Lucinda (who married Ira

H. Maxfield) and Silas Tanner Angell also ended up in Ottawa Co., MI

(Tallmadge and Robinson townships), while Maria married Lincoln Piper and

ended up in Muskegon, Muskegon Co., MI (not all that far from the rest of the

family).

Daniel and Olive Wheeler’s children were:

Edward A. (b. Clinton Co., New York)

Daniel Moore (b. Clinton Co., New York)

Matilda Sarah (b. Clinton Co., New York)

Seymour L (b. Clinton Co., New York).

Sophronia L. (b. Ottawa Co., Michigan)

Charlotte M. (b. Ottawa Co., Michigan)

Adelaide (my great grandmother) (b. Ottawa Co., Michigan)

There were also Angells in other parts of Michigan, Grand Haven and Spring

Lake, Allendale and Eastmanville in Ottawa County; Luther (don’t know that

county offhand); Grand Rapids and other parts of Kent County; around the

Detroit area, and elsewhere (the names are escaping me at the moment).

If your line travels from Thomas down to the first Daniel, you are also

related to Roger Williams, as this Daniel married Roger Williams’

grandaughter, Hannah Winsor.

Hope this helps someone. If anything connects, please contact me at my email

address, as well as through the list (to make sure I get it) as I have more

information which may be helpful.
