Published Genealogical Information

1872:

• Secondary Source, Avery Angell, Genealogy of the descendants of Thomas Angell, ^[1] Data Extract:

1. ) Angell Genealogy; Page 20; JAMES ANGELL (8), son of John, was born in 1684 and died in 1742. He married first Susanna Wilkinson, who was born 27 April 1688 at Providence, RI; and he married second, Mary____. All the children were by the first wife.

   James Angell lived in Providence. It appears by the Colonial Records, that he was admitted freeman of Providence, May 4, 1708. He was again admitted free on the last Wednesday in October, 1720, and his son, James, was admitted free on the same day.
   
   His first wife was Susannah, daughter of Samuel Wilkinson. This Samuel was a son of Lawrence Wilkinson, who came from England and settled in Providence, and connected with those of the same name in Pawtucket.
   
   Susannah, wife of James Angell, was sister to Ruth, who was the mother of (1) Stephen and (2) Eseck Hopkins. [See Genealogy of the Wilkinsons.] There is some ground to believe that during his absence from Providence, James lived in Warwick, as William and Mary were married there, and for a time resided in that town. By minutes taken from the North Burying Ground by Eliza Angell, about 1820, it appears that Martha Angell, daughter of James and Susannah, died March 27, 1738, in the 20th year of her age. We have no date of the death of his first wife, or of the marriage of the second. I find it stated that he died in 1742, and that his widow, Mary, died in 1749.

   • Memoirs of the Wilkinson Family in America, Page 63: VI. Susannah {Wilkinson}, the second of the name, and the youngest daughter of Lawrence, married a Boss of Rehoboth, Mass. All knowledge of this family and their descendants is lost. The name of Boss appears frequently in this Genealogy. Sarah Wilder married Jeremiah Boss, and "Senator" Wilkinson of Minnesota, married Sally Boss, but whether they were descendants of this family is problematical.
