Mentioned in 18390216BJS_WHS1: "He decides further that no assingment of the mortge by Nedabiah Angell can be made to for Plumb without a full development of the facts & proprieties of the case are is first laid before the Board." In the "Michigan Historical Collections" we find a bit about the Angell family: "Lucinda Angell was born in Silver Creek, N. Y., September 17, 1818, and removed to Battle Creek with her father, Nedabiah Angell and family, in 1833, she being then 14 years of age. They came here with a party of colonists from the same place, Hanover, N. Y., the party consisting of Mr. Angell and family, Ezra Convis and family, John DeGroat and family, Nathan Darling and Ezra Waters, the two latter young men. ...Nedabiah Angell was a prominent citizen in his day. He was for many years justice of the peace and postmaster." Even though Nedabiah removed to Michigan in 1833, the fact that he lived in Silver Springs makes him the likely subject of the 1839 BJS letter. There were no other Angells living near Westfield at this time, to the best of my knowledge.
