Lucy Angell was my great, great, great grandmother. I am uncertain if she was born in America or in Crowhurst, Surrey. I am interested in knowing more about the Crowhurst time. I have heard rumors of the family being Swiss or Savoie Mercenaries in the pay of Henry VII.

Thank you very much.

David Baker.

There appear to have been no Angel(l)s in Crowhurst since densuses began in 1841.

Familysearch has 2, the earliest 1631.

David, John Angell was MP [minister of Parliament] for Rye in Crowhurst. He and Elizabeth Edolph had 14 children all born in Crowhurst and several lived there all their lives but some moved elsewhere in England as well. I read some said Elizabeth Edolph had no children. Oh, but she did.

Roger Angelli, shortened to Angell was a "Swizer" according to Genealogy of Descendants of Thomas Angell but I looked at some maps and as I suspected,  Switzerland was not named so in 1500 therefore he was likely Italian. And, there are no towns called Angelli now. He could have come from Italy or from anywhere within the Holy Roman Empire which covered all of what we know as Germany, Switzerland, and more.
