  Notes	Reference Angell Genealogy by Avery F. Angell-Greene 1872, "Eber Angell with Solomon and Gideon went to New Hampshire in early life to make a settlement. Gideon staid, but the other two returned. Gideon is heard from a few years later as a prosperous farmer in Wendall, New Hampshire. Solomon returns and settles in his native town. Here we loose sight of Eber. He was married in Rhode Island and the author found but 2 individuals who knew the name of his wife. One said he had no children, the other knew nothing of this. On my inwquiring of a minister from New Hampshire, if he knew anybody by the name of Angell in his State, he replied that one Ira Angell lived in Bridgewater, Vermont. On writing to him he proves to be the son of Abner and Grandson of Eber Angell who has not been heard from in Rhode Island probably for nearly 100 years. Ira has given information of his grandfather's family and those of some of the next two generations. Whatever we know of the descendants of Eber comes from Ira." "Ira says Eber was married Aug 20, 1762 and settled in Wendall, New Hampshire about the year 1770. The statements I have made in relation to Eber, Solomon and Gideon in regard to their going to New Hampshire were given me by Lemuel Angell of North Providence two or three years ago. Ira says he has part of the record. Eber wrote while in Smithfield, Rhode Island which is badly worn. He says he is the son of Abner and has no father, mother, brother or sister or children living. He has long been a trader in produce and West India goods. His place of busines is Bridgewater, Windsor County, Vermont." According to some records Benjamin also accompanied his 3 brothers to Wendall, he must have returned befefore the birth of his children, for there are none recorded in Wendell. I have not found ( as of March 1995 ) any death record for Eber or Jerusha, nor any indication that he was made a freeman in Bridgewater, Vermont where were many of his sons and grandsons. Possibly they died shortly after arrival and are buried in one of the many unmarked graves in the Agell Cemetery in Bridgewater Hollow. Maybe they returned to Rhode Island for there is no record of his or Jerusha dying in Wendell and there is no mention of their graves in that area. There is some evidence that his father- in law, Eliphalet Eddy was in Clarendon, Vermont in the 1790's with his blacksmith son, Thomas Eddy, half brother to Jerusa.
