'Gideon was married in North Providence in 1771. It was known to Lemuel Angell, a nephew of Gideon' . . . 'that Gideon Angell married Sarah Young, in 1771, and moved from North Providence to Savile, N. H., in 1779, for the purpose of making a settlement in that comparatively unsettled town; that two brothers, Solomon and Eber, accompanied him for the same purpose. The two brothers soon returned, discouraged—the country was too rough and wild to suit their views. A few years after, Benjamin, Gideon's youngest brother, visited him for the purpose of making a home in that country, and worked one or two seasons with Gideon, and took his pay in wild land. But on returning to North Providence, Benjamin decided not to go back again, and sold his land without going to see it any more. ' . . . [In] '1865, when John Angell, in answer to a letter from the author, proves to be a grandson of Gideon. ' . . . 'I use his own language as far as circumstances permit: ''Gideon Angell, my grandfather married Sarah Young in 1771. He, with his two brothers (Solomon and Eber), came to make a settlement in the town of Savile. N. H. The two brothers returned to North Providence, finding the country too rough and wild to suit their taste. Gideon purchased between four and five hundred acres of land ; built a log house, and commenced farming. He cleared land and planted an orchard around his house. These trees were planted about eighty or ninety years ago, some of which are now standing and yield considerable fruit. These trees have furnished fruit for four generations. Two old pear trees are yet quite fruitful. In a few years he built a frame house. The only vestige of the first log house, now remaining, is the large square flat stone in the old orchard, that once formed the back of the chimney to the early home of the emigrant. When his sons, David and Smith, were old enough, and prepared to do business for themselves, he gave each of them land enough to make a good farm. John remained with his father and had about two hundred and twenty-five acres left in his farm. Not far from the time John became an active man of business, a new road was cut through this farm, and passed half a mile from the house. Then John and his father built a new and better house on the road.["] ['] A son of this John Angell, and of the same name, is the present occupant of this farm and house, and to whom we are indebted for this narrative. The name of this town (Savile) has been twice changed since the settlement of Gideon Angell. April 4th, 1781, the town was incorporated and took the name of "Wendell; " and in 1854 it received the name of Sunapee. This John married, first, Elizabeth Titus; after her death, he married Hannah Sawyer. His farm is now having a railroad cut through it. . . .'
'Smith Angell, Gideon's youngest son married Betsey Clapp. They had three sons and three daughters. His oldest son, George, married first Betsey Chandler. His second wife was Hepzibeth Dodge. Smith's second son, Gideon, married Mary Young. The third son, Richmond, married Charlotte Elliott. Sally the oldest daughter, married Asa Dickerson ; the second daughter Rachel, married Peter Crowell. They live in New port, N. H. The Youngest daughter, Irene, died young.
Lydi, the youngest child of Gideon, "was married quite young, to Robert Lane. She had twelve children. She had thirty-three grand-children. . .'
