• Notes

  Emigrated on the Lyon to Boston; went from there to Salem, and was subsequently one of those banished along with Roger Williams. One of the founders of Providence, Rhode Island. From Wikipedia: Thomas Angell was one of the four men who wintered with Roger Williams at Seekonk, Plymouth Colony in early 1636, and then joined him in founding the settlement of Providence Plantation in what became the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. He was a minor at the time of his arrival, but his name appears on several of the early documents related to the settlement of Providence. In the early 1650s, he became active in the affairs of the town, serving as commissioner, juryman, and constable. In 1658, he began his service as the Providence Town Clerk and held this position for 17 years. [...] Angell Street on Providence's East Side is named for him.
