Charles was born between 1729 and 1736, parents unknown. He passed away about 1776. [1]
Charles Angel and Sybella Cummings were married from most saying in 1756. New information has turned up saying 1751. There is no citation which would prove either one at this time.
Charles Angell, a planter in Surry Co., NC, left a will probated in Surry Co., NC May Court, 1776. In 1777, the will was read. [2]
Origins: The origins of Charles Angel, planter in Surrey County, are unknown at this time. ** Samuel Angel and Jane Schulenbeck have been detached as parents, are likely fictional people, and should not be reattached absent primary source documentation. One merged profile said he was born in Rhode Island, the other in Virginia, but his origins are unknown.
The Thomas Angell immigrants all went to Rhode Island. The majority stayed fairly close, although some went to other states to live. None went so far South as where Charles Angel lived. Apart from one who did a stint in Florida during a war. My deepest feeling is that my Charles Angel [he is my 6th great-grandfather] is either a wider family cousin to the Thomas Angell lot and is not in the Descendants book or he is from some other Angel line. For a while I suspected he might have come over from England not long before meeting Sybella but try hard as I might, I can not find any trace of him from there. Mind, I may take a crack at Wales yet.
Therefore, if I can root around and find a good far-ranging Thomas Angell genealogy online or in a book, I might get somewhere.
NEW Charles Angell [From Genealogy of the Descendants of Thomas Angell]
Page 17 [16] Stephen Angell [died 1772] and his wife, Martha Olney of Providence, Rhode Island had their fourth child and fourth son, Charles Angell on 12 January 1732. . He is marked number 42 in the book. **I have seen other genealogy sites for this Charles Angell/Angel using this birthdate and the one above. Whilst it does not "prove" anything, I do think it is a case of people using dates which suit them sometimes.
Page 54 [42] Charles Angell married Jemima Taft. They had five children, John, Avis, Lydia, Charles, and Christopher.
“Charles Angell received of his father the farm now cultivated by Lorenzo Angell of Smithfield [RI] We are told that Jemima was his second wife' – that he had an enterprising family of children that did credit to themselves and their parents. We have not been able to learn much of their history.'
This is proof enough for me that this Charles Angell is not the Charles Angell most of us thought he was. Our Charles Angel predeceased his wife, Sybella, so he certainly did not marry a second time. The profile we have with us here is completely incorrect and is NOT in any way our ancestor. He very well could be a cousin. He never left Smithfield, Rhode Island.
There was a family of Angell's [with the two L's who went to Rhode Island in the great migration period and whom have collectively stayed in the same area since, albeit, by now they are all over the US, I am sure. Many think that this Charles was one of them but let me assure you, having a book which is about all descendants of the Thomas Angell from London who went to America as a young lad, is not one of them. I have pored through this book and made notations and many bookmarks and the entire family of Thomas Angell seems to be a one-off from our Angel's. I do believe they are related but not in direct line. Somewhere in England is the answer, most likely. [3]
For now, I recommend keeping some information but expelling the redundant and unnecessary, which I am going to do today. Any viewpoints of forward thinking would be welcomed.
Census: There was a Charles & Charles Jr. listed in the 1820 census in Stokes Co., N.C. [These would have had to be Charles the elder's son and grandson and probably will remove this as it does not pertain to Charles, the elder because he had died before 1820.]
I found The origins of Charles Angel, planter in Surrey County, are unknown at this time. See research notes for possible avenues of exploration. One merged profile said he was born in Rhode Island, the other in Virginia, but his origins are unknown. **I am believing less every day that he was born in either place. I think he was probably born in NC or even in Virginia but by the time he was born, the Angells who came to the Colonies early days had already begun to spread in different directions. **
The connection to Rhode Island seems to appear only at Ancestry where it is often repeated but questioned by a number of users as the source of this information cannot be found (the cited book does not appear to exist). It has been seen in some discussion that this Charles Angell is the son of a **Nicholas Angell of Northumberland County, Virginia but this currently lacks documentation. The surname Angell is found in Northumberland County in the appropriate time period. ** If you wrote down any information about this could you look into it, please? Charles had a father, we must find him**

It is worth noting that the third great grandson of this Charles Angell, also named Charles "Charlie" Angell (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Angell-1448) invented the one-way plow which many believe greatly contributed to the Dust Bowl. Charlie is a distant cousin but I am not related to the subject of this profile. Descendants of these two Charlies are my neighbors (and the surname here is spelt Angell).
I'll propose the merge again.
It should be noted many of the descendants did not drop the last 'L' in the surname and it today remains Angell. Dropping the last 'L' in the surnames of all children is not appropriate according to WikiTree guides.
This has created an unmerged match.
