Joseph Angevine was the son of Peter (Piere) Angevine Jr. and wife Abigail Williams Angevine.
His son Capt. Peter Angevine was the father of Allen S. Angevine, father of Saxton Smith Angevine.
Joseph Angevine may have inherited his father's land, described in 1777 as "Peter Angevine's estate" located "near middle of Philipse Patent" in what was then Dutchess County, now Putnam County, New York, and evidently the same property or very near where Joseph resided, Carmel and Putnam Valley (History of Putnam County, New York by William S. Pelletreau, 1886, p.77).
There is a slight possibility this could refer to Joseph's half-brother Peter Angevine III, born 14 September 1752, of whom no further record is found. But more likely it refers to the estate of their first cousin Peter Angevine "The Tory" (1734-1778), whose estate at Carmel was seized by the U.S. government and was tied up a number of years. The Tory fled to Nova Scotia and died there.
MARRIAGE
Joseph Angevine's wife Margaret was left a widow in her 30s with nine children but apparently never remarried, living for over 43 more years until she was buried in the Devoue Bailey family cemetery at Mahopac near Carmel.
Margaret Angevine's marker was transcribed in later years to read:
Sacred to the Memory of
Margaret
Wife of
Joseph Angevine
Died Aug. 21, 1843
Aged 81 years
Buried near Margaret Angevine is her daughter Abigail Angevine Bailey, Mrs. Benjamin Bailey.
Joseph Angevine's wife Margaret is shown by some genealogists as the former Margaret Bailey, probably a sister of Devoue Bailey whose home stood nearby the Bailey cemetery. This is unproven, but if correct then her daughter Abigail married her cousin.

"The Dumb Girl," a short story by James Kirke Paulding, first published in 1830 (reprinted in Tales of the Good Woman, 1836, edited by Washington Irving and William Irving Paulding), tells the story of the two children of a Revolutionary War soldier called "Angevine" … "from the great upper Philipse Patent"… "What was his origin I know not; it was probably French…" The story concerns his widow, his beautiful mute daughter Phoebe Angevine, "the prettiest girl in all the surrounding country, and her brother, Ellee Angevine, "an idiot." An 1851 memorandum by the author states that the story was based on a real girl and many of the details were real but "The name and the sad story are fictitious."
Joseph Angevine's first cousin James Angevine, (1744-1825), son of Lewis Angevine, appears to have been the James Angevine who in 1804, together with Cornelius Ryder (1744-1821), witnessed the will of Founding Father Thomas Paine (1737-1809) ("These Are the Times that Try Men's Souls...."). James Angevine's daughter Phebe Angevine Varian was a sister-in-law of U.S. Vice President Daniel D. Tompkins (1774-1825). James Angevine's brother John Angevine married Phebe Fowler, third cousin of Cornelius Ryder's wife, Abigail Fowler. The executor of Thomas Paine will's was Thomas Addis Emmet (1764-1827), an Irish patriot and New York State Attorney General 1812–1813.
According to The Biographical History of Cloud County, Kansas (1903), by E. F. Hollibaugh, pp. 466-67, a different James Angevine (1777-1874), son of John Angevine Jr. (and thus a second cousin of the James Angevine above, his brothers and their first cousin Joseph) was the James Angevine who was a personal friend of Thomas Paine.
Another first cousin of Joseph, and brother of James and John above, was Peter Angevine (1734-1778), whom some references describe as a Loyalist during the Revolution; at any rate, it is known that his sons were Loyalists and his property in Philipse Patent which his two sons inherited was confiscated and their families forced to move to Canada. It has been thought by some researchers that Joseph Angevine perhaps succeeded in trying to purchase Peter's farm from the state after confiscation since his widow Margaret later lived at Carmel, but there may be some confusion between the Peter Angevine Jr. (son of the immigrant from France) and his nephew Peter "the Tory." Some references say Peter "the Tory" died in the War although it appears he was not actually a Tory but his two sons were, and certainly it was their inherited estate from their father that was attached. One researcher states that Peter the Torey's farm lay east of Carmel or at Southeast, and another describes Joseph's widow Margaret as living southwest of Mahopac which is southwest of Carmel. So these may be separate farms.
Joseph Angevine served in the Revolutionary War in the Dutchess County Militia, 7th New York Regiment, under Colonel Henry Ludington and Lt. David Porter for whom one of Joseph Angevine's grandsons later was named. (History of Dutchess County, New York (1909) by Frank Hasbrouck p. 165; New York in the Revolution (1898) by by James A. Roberts, p.150) This regiment was formed Oct. 17,1775-March 8, 1776 and included many of the same neighbors in the Philipse Patent, indicating that Joseph Angevine was a resident of the area before the War, not just after, when some researchers believe he arrived to purchase his cousin Peter's farm which had been seized from his Loyalist sons (Colonel Henry Ludington: A Memoir [1907] by Willis Fletcher Johnson, p.68). No record of Joseph's purchase of land has been found either, which seems further evidence that the Peter Angevine who died in Philipse Patent 1776-7 was Peter Angevine Jr. rather than his nephew Peter, Joseph's cousin. Was the farm of the Loyalist Peter Angevine family elsewhere in Philipse Patent or was it also in Lot 5?
Titus Travis of Putnam Valley and other Angevine neighbors were also members of the 7th Regiment.
TRAVIS GENEALOGY: DESCENDANTS OF TITUS TRAVIS (http://cptravis.tripod.com/): "Members of the militia were mostly farmers. They were not required to perform military duty continously, but were mustered whenever their community was menaced by the approach of British forces.
"On one of such occasions after the British had sacked and burned Danbury, Conn. where supplies and ammunition were stored for the use of the American forces, a message was sent to Colonel Luddington calling on him to assemble his men and come to the assistance of the Connecticut forces. Colonel Luddington's men were scattered throughout the surrounding country within a radius of 20 miles of his home and extending to the Connectiut State line. At that time the Colonel was wiithout an available messenger to call his men together. His sixteen year old daughter, Sibyl thereupon mounted on horseback rode throughout the district over rough and mountainous roads spreading the news of the attack of the British forces and called her father's men to be mustered. Thus it was that Colonel Ludington mustered his men on that occasion and joined forces with those in Connecticut and as a result the British were overtaken and routed at Ridgefield Conn. Due to her bravery Sibyl Ludington has become known as a "Feminine Paul Revere". The home of Colonel Ludington was located in a small settlement now called Ludingtonville, situated in the northern part of Putnam County, N.Y."
TOWNSHIPS & BOUNDARIES
Frederickstown, Carmel, Philipstown & Putnam Valley:
Originally Philipse Patent
1777: This area shown as "Fredericksburg" on the 1777 tax list of Philipse Patent, where "Peter Angevine estate" is shown (with poll tax of 4); this could refer to Peter Angevine (Jr.), son of the immigrant, who died after 1773 leaving four sons who were over the age of 16 in 1777.
Historical and Genealogical Record, Dutchess and Putnam Counties, New York (Poughkeepsie, NY: Press of A.V. Haight Co., 1912), p.84 containing a transcript of the 1777 tax list says Peter Angevine, not "Peter Angevine's estate," but it is not clear from any other published transcripts whether two Peter Angevines might be listed on the original.
1790: Joseph Angevine listed in Frederickstown, Dutchess County, northeast of New York City. Frederickstown included the southern ½ of Lots 5 & 6 of Philipse Patent. Frederickstown's southern boundary was the Westchester County line and the western boundary was Philipstown (now Putnam Valley). The Angevines lived very near the western boundary of Frederickstown, across the line from the eastern border of Philipstown (now Putnam Valley).
1795: Frederickstown became Carmel, Dutchess County, NY
1800: Margaret Angevine lived in Carmel, Dutchess County, NY
1810: Margaret Angevine lived with son Peter Angevine in Philipstown, Dutchess County. Whether they moved across the line into Philipstown or the line changed is uncertain. If they moved, it wasn't far (a mile or so).
1812: This part of Dutchess Co. became Putnam County
1820: Peter Angevine in Philipstown, Putnam County
1839: East half of Philipstown was incorporated as a separate town, Quincy
1840: Quincy (Philipstown) changed name to Putnam Valley
1861: A small part of the NW tip of Carmel Township was added to Putnam Valley
Joseph Angevine is not shown among the original purchasers in Philipse Patent, but in the 1777 list is shown "Peter Angevine's estate" near Jonathan, Thomas, Silas and David Paddock, Elijah Tompkins. In the 1790 census Joseph Angevine (son of Peter Angevine and Abigail Williams) was a neighbor of Peter Badeau, Thomas Kirkum and his brother Zebedee's widow Lydia Kirkum, shown as Thomas and Zebedee Kirkland in the 1788 list of purchasers of the land of Mary Philipse Lot 5. Peter Badeau was also an original purchaser and married Catherine Coutant of New Rochelle. Their son John married Rachel Kirkum/Kirkham, whose daughter married Zabud Lounsbury, (see also History of Westchester County, New York (1886), by John Thomas Scharf, vol. 2,pp. 454-55, which states "the barn of David Valentine" stands on the foundation of Thomas Kirkham's house.) "Preaching services were held in the house of Peter Badeau near the Red Mills, (Mahopac Falls) in 1761, by Rev. Samuel Sacket of the Yorktown (Presbyterian) church, and religious services were held at an early day in the loft of the old Red Mill, but a church building was not erected until 1784 on the site of the present Presbyterian church. April 5, 1895."(ref., [Carmel, N.Y.] Putnam County Currier, April 5, 1895.)
1790 census: (3 Jan 1791) #453 Joseph Angevine (1-3-3-0-0) lived in Frederickstown (Carmel after 1795), Dutchess Co. (Putnam Co. after 1812), New York.
#498 was Deveraux (Devoue) Bailey, second largest slave owner in the area and father of Benjamin Bailey who married Joseph Angevine's daughter Abigail.
In 1790 #453 Joseph Angevine was next door to William Porter and Peter Badeau, Thomas & Lydia Kirkum(widow of Zebedee Kirkum), Smiths, John Devereaux, Isaac Lounsbury, Daniel & Benj. Knap, James & Charles Sovine Sr & Jr.
Settlers of the Beekman Patent (2010) by F.J.Doherty, p.515: "The Porter family came to (Old) Dutchess County by Feb. 1741 when Nathaniel Porter was on the tax roll in South Precinct. Joseph Porter arrived there one year later. The presence of this family in Beekman is very limited; David Porter was taxed in 1778, Sarah Porter was a customer at a general store and William Porter was on the census for Beekman 1790-1810. ...William Porter was on the Frederickstown census in I790 (3-0-3) between James Cock and Joseph Angevine. He married Mabel, daughter of Ebenezer Stephens of Danbury and New Fairfield, Connecticut about I753."
#877 Nathan Conklin also lived in the Frederickstown district, shown some distance away in 1790 though later censuses show him closer, perhaps owing to the route of the census taker. These are later in Putnam Valley near its eastern boundary and so may have been in Frederickstown near its western boundary or just over the line.
Isaac Lounsbury was a great-grandson of Louis Guion, cousin of the first wife of Joseph Angevine's grandfather Pierre Angevine. The Lounsburys were also related to Smiths and Knapps.
In 1790, Nathan Lane, Abraham Smith, Titus Travis, Joshua Tompkins(Sr & Jr), James, Cornelius, & Stephen Tompkins were shown at Phillips (now Putnam Valley). Titus Travis had lived there since before the Revolutionary War.
Lydia Kirkum, neighbor of Joseph Angevine in 1790, is buried at the Wood Street Cemetery at Putnam Valley, called Kirkum Burial Plot (Angevine Gen. by Clyde Angevine, p. 62; also called Kirkum Plot, Wood St. Cemetery in a Curry Family Tree) and sometimes Wood Cemetery, and where Joseph's daughter-in-law is buried, near the Kirkum, Angevine, and Abraham Smith homes. Her husband Zebedee Kirkum, who died in 1788, was buried there. These facts lend credence to the supposition that Joseph Angevine may be buried there also.

In 1800 at Carmel, Dutchess County (now Putnam County): Joseph Angevine's widow Margaret Angevine lived near the same neighbors, Thomas & Isaac Lounsbury, Caleb Secord, Alvah Trowbridge, Josiah Falkner, Abel Smith Sr., & II, James Sorine (Surine), Charles Sorine Sr, Wm Sorine, Caleb Secord, Nathan Conklin, Timothy Oakley, Wm Faulkner, and others.
In 1803 the eldest son Peter Angevine married Sarah Conklin. He was listed as the head of the household in 1810 and later served in the War of 1812.
In 1809, Abigail Angevine married Benjamin Bailey at Somers, NY. ('Political Barometer' Wed Jun 1809 - On Monday 12th inst., by the Rev. Mr. Dodd, Mr. Benjamin
BAILEY to Miss Abigail ANGEVINE, both of Somers twp.") Her uncle Benjamin Angevine (who later died at Carmel, NY) lived at Somers. Perhaps she lived with his family.
In 1810, widow Margaret Angevine was living with her son Peter Angevine and his wife Sarah Conklin in Philipstown (now Putnam Valley). Next door neighbors included David Knapp and James Cronkright, and other neighbors John Smith, Isaac Post (1762-1842), Abraham Post, Titus Travis, Peter Bonker, Abraham Smith (father of Saxton Smith ), James and Nehemiah Tompkins, James Serine (Sorine,Surine), Nathan Lane Sr & Jr, Nathan Laine, Elijah Nelson, Amos Conklin, John Barger, Nehemiah Barger, Cornelius Van Catt, Jeremiah Conklin, James & John Serine (Sorine, Suvine). In 1822 Peter Angevine purchased land adjoining Nathan Lane for $4,340, and in 1829 his son George purchased more land from Nathan Lane's estate adjoining his father Peter.
Peter Angevine lived near Abraham Smith at Phillipstown (Putnam Valley), near the intersection of Bryant Pond Rd./Secor Rd. and Wood Street, very near the Wood Street Cemetery where Peter Angevine's wife was buried in 1823.
After the War of 1812, Philipse Patent land was confiscated from the Philipse family. Tenants and purchasers of land in Philipse Patent had to prove they had purchased the land from the Philipse family and/or the Native Americans. Peter Angevine testified in one of the hearings that all Tenants "bought their peace" with the Indians, prior to the going off to war (ref.,OLD DUTCHESS FOREVER, THE STORY OF AN AMERICAN COUNTY by HENRY B. MACCRACKEN, p.295).
Peter Angevine was among those who bought his land in Philipse Patent from the Indians. A story nationally syndicated in 1959 depicted the original purchasers in Putnam Valley as pioneer frontiersmen and "cowboys." (The Sacramento Bee (Sacramento, California), Oct. 14, 1959, page F9; "We All Know They Went Thataway, But Where Did They Leave From," in the San Mateo (California) TIMES, August 5, 1959, p.92; "They Went Thataway...But Where Did They Leave From?" in the (East Las Vegas, NM) Las Vegas Daily Optic, August 20, 1959, p.27; and numerous other newspapers.)
In 1820, Peter Angevine lived next door to Joshua Lounsbury and David Knapp, and other neighbors included Thomas Tompkins, Elijah Nelson, Jeremiah Conklin & Amos Conklin, Lockwood, John Barger, & Samuel Barger, Ananias Tompkins, Samuel & Copper Smith, Hortons, Henry Van Tassell, John & Isaac Van Tassell, Charles Smith, John Lounsbury, Nathaniel Surine (Sorine, Serine), Joshua Purdy, John Wood, James Warren, Joseph Ferris, Justice Warren, other Sorines.
On Jan. 1, 1822, a year before Sarah Angevine's death, Allen B. Secor of Phillips Twp sold land to Peter Angevine for $4,340.00, near Abraham Smith, Nathan Lane, and others (Putnam Co. Deed Book A, pp.453-56). Allen Blair Secor (1791-1826), father of Saxton Secor (1821-1891), was a great-grandson of Jacques Sicard who came from La Rochelle, France to New Rochelle, N.Y. with the Angevines. In 1829, Peter and Sarah Angevine's son, 25-year-old George L. Angevine, purchased a tract of land adjoining his father's land from the estate of Nathan Lane for $1,816.20, witnessed by Abraham Smith (Putnam Co. Deed Book E, pp.369-72). The 1830 census shows George L. next door to his father Peter Angevine.
This area was in the vicinity of Secor Road and Wood Street in what became Putnam Valley, Putnam County, near Secor Lake.
1830 census shows Peter Angevine and son George lived next to Saxton Smith's brother Allen Blair Smith (1796-1834), and other neighbors were Joshua Lounsbury, Salah Knapp, John Knapp, Abraham Smith, Hiram Purdy, Joseph Barger. Five households away the other direction was Jeremiah Conklin, Moses Tompkins, George Lane, Amos Conklin, Thomas Tompkins, David Barger, John Barger, & Samuel Barger.
Rev. Allen Blair, a native of Ireland, taught school at Red Mills and was supply pastor of the Red Mills Presbyterian Church. He was minister at Gilead Presbyterian Church at Carmel 1812-13.
Margaret was not living with son Peter at Putnam Valley in 1820. She evidently went to live with other children and in 1840 was back at Mahopac where her daughter Abigail Angevine Bailey lived near the Bailey cemetery.
It would seem possible that Joseph Angevine could be buried beside his wife at the Bailey Cemetery, but if he was, there is no extant marker and it was long gone before the first transcriptions were made. He died 1796-99, and his wife Margaret never remarried. The 1840 census shows her living near Carmel where several Angevines and Baileys were neighbors. Margaret later lived with her daughter Abigail who married Benjamin Bailey, thought to be her cousin. The son of Devoue Bailey and Elizabeth Smith Bailey, he was a first cousin of Hachaliah Bailey , (1775-1845) who owned the first circus elephant, "Old Bet," and was a forerunner of the Barnum and Bailey Circus.
Joseph Angevine's nephew Caleb Sutton Angevine (1795-1859) was co-owner of the June, Titus & Angevine Circus, with John J. June and Lewis Brown Titus .
A study of the neighbors of Joseph Angevine and his son Peter Angevine 1790-1830 shows them buried in numerous cemeteries within a 5-mile radius, most of them at the Presbyterian Cemetery, but it is most probable that Joseph Angevine was buried in the Wood Street Cemetery nearest his home at Putnam Valley and where his daughter-in-law Sarah Conklyn Angevine was buried later. Since he lived by the Kirkums in 1790, as did his son Peter, the logical conclusion is that Joseph was buried there in the Kirkum/Wood Cemetery and that his son Peter later buried his wife there by his father in 1823. By the time Peter's mother Margaret died in 1843, Peter had moved to Michigan. As Margaret was living with her daughter Abigail Bailey at the time of her death, Abigail buried her mother in the nearby Bailey cemetery near her husband Benjamin Bailey.
The Wood Street Cemetery at Putnam Valley is 7 miles west of the Bailey Cemetery at Mahopac. Wood Street Cemetery was also called the Kirkum Cemetery in some references and Wood Cemetery in others. One of Joseph Angevine's grandsons married into the Wood family.
The names of only four of the nine children of Joseph and Margaret Angevine are known:
1. Peter Angevine 1779-1852
2. Son bc1780-85
3. Lavina 1783-1873 (unmarried)
4. son c1785 (bef 1790)
5. Abigail 1788-1851 (m. Benjamin Bailey)
6. son c1790
7. dau 1792
8. dau 1794
9. Sarah 1798-1856 (m. Samuel Brundage, said to be half owner, with Hachaliah Bailey, of "Old Bet," the famed circus elephant)
It is possible that Lavina was not an unmarried daughter but the widow of the second son, in which case the third daughter might be Mrs. Rhinehart or Reinhardt, the mother of Amelia (1802-1888) (Find-A-Grave 176174997) who married Henry Warren and had son Angevine Warren.
His son Capt. Peter Angevine was the father of Allen S. Angevine, father of Saxton Smith Angevine.
Joseph Angevine may have inherited his father's land, described in 1777 as "Peter Angevine's estate" located "near middle of Philipse Patent" in what was then Dutchess County, now Putnam County, New York, and evidently the same property or very near where Joseph resided, Carmel and Putnam Valley (History of Putnam County, New York by William S. Pelletreau, 1886, p.77).
There is a slight possibility this could refer to Joseph's half-brother Peter Angevine III, born 14 September 1752, of whom no further record is found. But more likely it refers to the estate of their first cousin Peter Angevine "The Tory" (1734-1778), whose estate at Carmel was seized by the U.S. government and was tied up a number of years. The Tory fled to Nova Scotia and died there.
MARRIAGE
Joseph Angevine's wife Margaret was left a widow in her 30s with nine children but apparently never remarried, living for over 43 more years until she was buried in the Devoue Bailey family cemetery at Mahopac near Carmel.
Margaret Angevine's marker was transcribed in later years to read:
Sacred to the Memory of
Margaret
Wife of
Joseph Angevine
Died Aug. 21, 1843
Aged 81 years
Buried near Margaret Angevine is her daughter Abigail Angevine Bailey, Mrs. Benjamin Bailey.
Joseph Angevine's wife Margaret is shown by some genealogists as the former Margaret Bailey, probably a sister of Devoue Bailey whose home stood nearby the Bailey cemetery. This is unproven, but if correct then her daughter Abigail married her cousin.

Was the farm of the Loyalist Peter Angevine family elsewhere in Philipse Patent or was it also in Lot 5?
Titus Travis of Putnam Valley and other Angevine neighbors were also members of the 7th Regiment.

Joseph Angevine is not shown among the original purchasers in Philipse Patent, but in the 1777 list is shown "Peter Angevine's estate" near Jonathan, Thomas, Silas and David Paddock, Elijah Tompkins. In the 1790 census Joseph Angevine (son of Peter Angevine and Abigail Williams) was a neighbor of Peter Badeau, Thomas Kirkum and his brother Zebedee's widow Lydia Kirkum, shown as Thomas and Zebedee Kirkland in the 1788 list of purchasers of the land of Mary Philipse Lot 5. Peter Badeau was also an original purchaser and married Catherine Coutant of New Rochelle. Their son John married Rachel Kirkum/Kirkham, whose daughter married Zabud Lounsbury, (see also History of Westchester County, New York (1886), by John Thomas Scharf, vol. 2,pp. 454-55, which states "the barn of David Valentine" stands on the foundation of Thomas Kirkham's house.) "Preaching services were held in the house of Peter Badeau near the Red Mills, (Mahopac Falls) in 1761, by Rev. Samuel Sacket of the Yorktown (Presbyterian) church, and religious services were held at an early day in the loft of the old Red Mill, but a church building was not erected until 1784 on the site of the present Presbyterian church. April 5, 1895."(ref., [Carmel, N.Y.] Putnam County Currier, April 5, 1895.)
1790 census: (3 Jan 1791) #453 Joseph Angevine (1-3-3-0-0) lived in Frederickstown (Carmel after 1795), Dutchess Co. (Putnam Co. after 1812), New York.
#498 was Deveraux (Devoue) Bailey, second largest slave owner in the area and father of Benjamin Bailey who married Joseph Angevine's daughter Abigail.
In 1790 #453 Joseph Angevine was next door to William Porter and Peter Badeau, Thomas & Lydia Kirkum(widow of Zebedee Kirkum), Smiths, John Devereaux, Isaac Lounsbury, Daniel & Benj. Knap, James & Charles Sovine Sr & Jr.
Settlers of the Beekman Patent (2010) by F.J.Doherty, p.515: "The Porter family came to (Old) Dutchess County by Feb. 1741 when Nathaniel Porter was on the tax roll in South Precinct. Joseph Porter arrived there one year later. The presence of this family in Beekman is very limited; David Porter was taxed in 1778, Sarah Porter was a customer at a general store and William Porter was on the census for Beekman 1790-1810. ...William Porter was on the Frederickstown census in I790 (3-0-3) between James Cock and Joseph Angevine. He married Mabel, daughter of Ebenezer Stephens of Danbury and New Fairfield, Connecticut about I753."
#877 Nathan Conklin also lived in the Frederickstown district, shown some distance away in 1790 though later censuses show him closer, perhaps owing to the route of the census taker. These are later in Putnam Valley near its eastern boundary and so may have been in Frederickstown near its western boundary or just over the line.
Isaac Lounsbury was a great-grandson of Louis Guion, cousin of the first wife of Joseph Angevine's grandfather Pierre Angevine. The Lounsburys were also related to Smiths and Knapps.
In 1790, Nathan Lane, Abraham Smith, Titus Travis, Joshua Tompkins(Sr & Jr), James, Cornelius, & Stephen Tompkins were shown at Phillips (now Putnam Valley). Titus Travis had lived there since before the Revolutionary War.
Lydia Kirkum, neighbor of Joseph Angevine in 1790, is buried at the Wood Street Cemetery at Putnam Valley, called Kirkum Burial Plot (Angevine Gen. by Clyde Angevine, p. 62; also called Kirkum Plot, Wood St. Cemetery in a Curry Family Tree) and sometimes Wood Cemetery, and where Joseph's daughter-in-law is buried, near the Kirkum, Angevine, and Abraham Smith homes. Her husband Zebedee Kirkum, who died in 1788, was buried there. These facts lend credence to the supposition that Joseph Angevine may be buried there also.

In 1800 at Carmel, Dutchess County (now Putnam County): Joseph Angevine's widow Margaret Angevine lived near the same neighbors, Thomas & Isaac Lounsbury, Caleb Secord, Alvah Trowbridge, Josiah Falkner, Abel Smith Sr., & II, James Sorine (Surine), Charles Sorine Sr, Wm Sorine, Caleb Secord, Nathan Conklin, Timothy Oakley, Wm Faulkner, and others.
In 1803 the eldest son Peter Angevine married Sarah Conklin. He was listed as the head of the household in 1810 and later served in the War of 1812.
In 1809, Abigail Angevine married Benjamin Bailey at Somers, NY. ('Political Barometer' Wed Jun 1809 - On Monday 12th inst., by the Rev. Mr. Dodd, Mr. Benjamin
BAILEY to Miss Abigail ANGEVINE, both of Somers twp.") Her uncle Benjamin Angevine (who later died at Carmel, NY) lived at Somers. Perhaps she lived with his family.
In 1810, widow Margaret Angevine was living with her son Peter Angevine and his wife Sarah Conklin in Philipstown (now Putnam Valley). Next door neighbors included David Knapp and James Cronkright, and other neighbors John Smith, Isaac Post (1762-1842), Abraham Post, Titus Travis, Peter Bonker, Abraham Smith (father of Saxton Smith ), James and Nehemiah Tompkins, James Serine (Sorine,Surine), Nathan Lane Sr & Jr, Nathan Laine, Elijah Nelson, Amos Conklin, John Barger, Nehemiah Barger, Cornelius Van Catt, Jeremiah Conklin, James & John Serine (Sorine, Suvine). In 1822 Peter Angevine purchased land adjoining Nathan Lane for $4,340, and in 1829 his son George purchased more land from Nathan Lane's estate adjoining his father Peter.
Peter Angevine lived near Abraham Smith at Phillipstown (Putnam Valley), near the intersection of Bryant Pond Rd./Secor Rd. and Wood Street, very near the Wood Street Cemetery where Peter Angevine's wife was buried in 1823.
After the War of 1812, Philipse Patent land was confiscated from the Philipse family. Tenants and purchasers of land in Philipse Patent had to prove they had purchased the land from the Philipse family and/or the Native Americans. Peter Angevine testified in one of the hearings that all Tenants "bought their peace" with the Indians, prior to the going off to war (ref.,OLD DUTCHESS FOREVER, THE STORY OF AN AMERICAN COUNTY by HENRY B. MACCRACKEN, p.295).
Peter Angevine was among those who bought his land in Philipse Patent from the Indians. A story nationally syndicated in 1959 depicted the original purchasers in Putnam Valley as pioneer frontiersmen and "cowboys." (The Sacramento Bee (Sacramento, California), Oct. 14, 1959, page F9; "We All Know They Went Thataway, But Where Did They Leave From," in the San Mateo (California) TIMES, August 5, 1959, p.92; "They Went Thataway...But Where Did They Leave From?" in the (East Las Vegas, NM) Las Vegas Daily Optic, August 20, 1959, p.27; and numerous other newspapers.)
In 1820, Peter Angevine lived next door to Joshua Lounsbury and David Knapp, and other neighbors included Thomas Tompkins, Elijah Nelson, Jeremiah Conklin & Amos Conklin, Lockwood, John Barger, & Samuel Barger, Ananias Tompkins, Samuel & Copper Smith, Hortons, Henry Van Tassell, John & Isaac Van Tassell, Charles Smith, John Lounsbury, Nathaniel Surine (Sorine, Serine), Joshua Purdy, John Wood, James Warren, Joseph Ferris, Justice Warren, other Sorines.
On Jan. 1, 1822, a year before Sarah Angevine's death, Allen B. Secor of Phillips Twp sold land to Peter Angevine for $4,340.00, near Abraham Smith, Nathan Lane, and others (Putnam Co. Deed Book A, pp.453-56). Allen Blair Secor (1791-1826), father of Saxton Secor (1821-1891), was a great-grandson of Jacques Sicard who came from La Rochelle, France to New Rochelle, N.Y. with the Angevines. In 1829, Peter and Sarah Angevine's son, 25-year-old George L. Angevine, purchased a tract of land adjoining his father's land from the estate of Nathan Lane for $1,816.20, witnessed by Abraham Smith (Putnam Co. Deed Book E, pp.369-72). The 1830 census shows George L. next door to his father Peter Angevine.
This area was in the vicinity of Secor Road and Wood Street in what became Putnam Valley, Putnam County, near Secor Lake.
1830 census shows Peter Angevine and son George lived next to Saxton Smith's brother Allen Blair Smith (1796-1834), and other neighbors were Joshua Lounsbury, Salah Knapp, John Knapp, Abraham Smith, Hiram Purdy, Joseph Barger. Five households away the other direction was Jeremiah Conklin, Moses Tompkins, George Lane, Amos Conklin, Thomas Tompkins, David Barger, John Barger, & Samuel Barger.
Rev. Allen Blair, a native of Ireland, taught school at Red Mills and was supply pastor of the Red Mills Presbyterian Church. He was minister at Gilead Presbyterian Church at Carmel 1812-13.
Margaret was not living with son Peter at Putnam Valley in 1820. She evidently went to live with other children and in 1840 was back at Mahopac where her daughter Abigail Angevine Bailey lived near the Bailey cemetery.
It would seem possible that Joseph Angevine could be buried beside his wife at the Bailey Cemetery, but if he was, there is no extant marker and it was long gone before the first transcriptions were made. He died 1796-99, and his wife Margaret never remarried. The 1840 census shows her living near Carmel where several Angevines and Baileys were neighbors. Margaret later lived with her daughter Abigail who married Benjamin Bailey, thought to be her cousin. The son of Devoue Bailey and Elizabeth Smith Bailey, he was a first cousin of Hachaliah Bailey , (1775-1845) who owned the first circus elephant, "Old Bet," and was a forerunner of the Barnum and Bailey Circus.
Joseph Angevine's nephew Caleb Sutton Angevine (1795-1859) was co-owner of the June, Titus & Angevine Circus, with John J. June and Lewis Brown Titus .
A study of the neighbors of Joseph Angevine and his son Peter Angevine 1790-1830 shows them buried in numerous cemeteries within a 5-mile radius, most of them at the Presbyterian Cemetery, but it is most probable that Joseph Angevine was buried in the Wood Street Cemetery nearest his home at Putnam Valley and where his daughter-in-law Sarah Conklyn Angevine was buried later. Since he lived by the Kirkums in 1790, as did his son Peter, the logical conclusion is that Joseph was buried there in the Kirkum/Wood Cemetery and that his son Peter later buried his wife there by his father in 1823. By the time Peter's mother Margaret died in 1843, Peter had moved to Michigan. As Margaret was living with her daughter Abigail Bailey at the time of her death, Abigail buried her mother in the nearby Bailey cemetery near her husband Benjamin Bailey.
The Wood Street Cemetery at Putnam Valley is 7 miles west of the Bailey Cemetery at Mahopac. Wood Street Cemetery was also called the Kirkum Cemetery in some references and Wood Cemetery in others. One of Joseph Angevine's grandsons married into the Wood family.
The names of only four of the nine children of Joseph and Margaret Angevine are known:
1. Peter Angevine 1779-1852
2. Son bc1780-85
3. Lavina 1783-1873 (unmarried)
4. son c1785 (bef 1790)
5. Abigail 1788-1851 (m. Benjamin Bailey)
6. son c1790
7. dau 1792
8. dau 1794
9. Sarah 1798-1856 (m. Samuel Brundage, said to be half owner, with Hachaliah Bailey, of "Old Bet," the famed circus elephant)
It is possible that Lavina was not an unmarried daughter but the widow of the second son, in which case the third daughter might be Mrs. Rhinehart or Reinhardt, the mother of Amelia (1802-1888) (Find-A-Grave 176174997) who married Henry Warren and had son Angevine Warren.
Joseph Angevine was the son of Peter (Piere) Angevine Jr. and wife Abigail Williams Angevine.
His son Capt. Peter Angevine was the father of Allen S. Angevine, father of Saxton Smith Angevine.
Joseph Angevine may have inherited his father's land, described in 1777 as "Peter Angevine's estate" located "near middle of Philipse Patent" in what was then Dutchess County, now Putnam County, New York, and evidently the same property or very near where Joseph resided, Carmel and Putnam Valley (History of Putnam County, New York by William S. Pelletreau, 1886, p.77).
There is a slight possibility this could refer to Joseph's half-brother Peter Angevine III, born 14 September 1752, of whom no further record is found. But more likely it refers to the estate of their first cousin Peter Angevine "The Tory" (1734-1778), whose estate at Carmel was seized by the U.S. government and was tied up a number of years. The Tory fled to Nova Scotia and died there.
MARRIAGE
Joseph Angevine's wife Margaret was left a widow in her 30s with nine children but apparently never remarried, living for over 43 more years until she was buried in the Devoue Bailey family cemetery at Mahopac near Carmel.
Margaret Angevine's marker was transcribed in later years to read:
Sacred to the Memory of
Margaret
Wife of
Joseph Angevine
Died Aug. 21, 1843
Aged 81 years
Buried near Margaret Angevine is her daughter Abigail Angevine Bailey, Mrs. Benjamin Bailey.
Joseph Angevine's wife Margaret is shown by some genealogists as the former Margaret Bailey, probably a sister of Devoue Bailey whose home stood nearby the Bailey cemetery. This is unproven, but if correct then her daughter Abigail married her cousin.
REVOLUTIONARY WAR

p.166: Joseph Anjivine Pvt., Crane's Company, Luddington's Regt., NY State troops
Angevine Genealogy (1977) by Clyde V. Angevine, p.33.
"The Dumb Girl," a short story by James Kirke Paulding, first published in 1830 (reprinted in Tales of the Good Woman, 1836, edited by Washington Irving and William Irving Paulding), tells the story of the two children of a Revolutionary War soldier called "Angevine" … "from the great upper Philipse Patent"… "What was his origin I know not; it was probably French…" The story concerns his widow, his beautiful mute daughter Phoebe Angevine, "the prettiest girl in all the surrounding country, and her brother, Ellee Angevine, "an idiot." An 1851 memorandum by the author states that the story was based on a real girl and many of the details were real but "The name and the sad story are fictitious."
Joseph Angevine's first cousin James Angevine, (1744-1825), son of Lewis Angevine, appears to have been the James Angevine who in 1804, together with Cornelius Ryder (1744-1821), witnessed the will of Founding Father Thomas Paine (1737-1809) ("These Are the Times that Try Men's Souls...."). James Angevine's daughter Phebe Angevine Varian was a sister-in-law of U.S. Vice President Daniel D. Tompkins (1774-1825). James Angevine's brother John Angevine married Phebe Fowler, third cousin of Cornelius Ryder's wife, Abigail Fowler. The executor of Thomas Paine will's was Thomas Addis Emmet (1764-1827), an Irish patriot and New York State Attorney General 1812–1813.
According to The Biographical History of Cloud County, Kansas (1903), by E. F. Hollibaugh, pp. 466-67, a different James Angevine (1777-1874), son of John Angevine Jr. (and thus a second cousin of the James Angevine above, his brothers and their first cousin Joseph) was the James Angevine who was a personal friend of Thomas Paine.
Another first cousin of Joseph, and brother of James and John above, was Peter Angevine (1734-1778), whom some references describe as a Loyalist during the Revolution; at any rate, it is known that his sons were Loyalists and his property in Philipse Patent which his two sons inherited was confiscated and their families forced to move to Canada. It has been thought by some researchers that Joseph Angevine perhaps succeeded in trying to purchase Peter's farm from the state after confiscation since his widow Margaret later lived at Carmel, but there may be some confusion between the Peter Angevine Jr. (son of the immigrant from France) and his nephew Peter "the Tory." Some references say Peter "the Tory" died in the War although it appears he was not actually a Tory but his two sons were, and certainly it was their inherited estate from their father that was attached. One researcher states that Peter the Torey's farm lay east of Carmel or at Southeast, and another describes Joseph's widow Margaret as living southwest of Mahopac which is southwest of Carmel. So these may be separate farms.
Joseph Angevine served in the Revolutionary War in the Dutchess County Militia, 7th New York Regiment, under Colonel Henry Ludington and Lt. David Porter for whom one of Joseph Angevine's grandsons later was named. (History of Dutchess County, New York (1909) by Frank Hasbrouck p. 165; New York in the Revolution (1898) by by James A. Roberts, p.150) This regiment was formed Oct. 17,1775-March 8, 1776 and included many of the same neighbors in the Philipse Patent, indicating that Joseph Angevine was a resident of the area before the War, not just after, when some researchers believe he arrived to purchase his cousin Peter's farm which had been seized from his Loyalist sons (Colonel Henry Ludington: A Memoir [1907] by Willis Fletcher Johnson, p.68). No record of Joseph's purchase of land has been found either, which seems further evidence that the Peter Angevine who died in Philipse Patent 1776-7 was Peter Angevine Jr. rather than his nephew Peter, Joseph's cousin. Was the farm of the Loyalist Peter Angevine family elsewhere in Philipse Patent or was it also in Lot 5?
Titus Travis of Putnam Valley and other Angevine neighbors were also members of the 7th Regiment.
TRAVIS GENEALOGY: DESCENDANTS OF TITUS TRAVIS (http://cptravis.tripod.com/): "Members of the militia were mostly farmers. They were not required to perform military duty continously, but were mustered whenever their community was menaced by the approach of British forces.
"On one of such occasions after the British had sacked and burned Danbury, Conn. where supplies and ammunition were stored for the use of the American forces, a message was sent to Colonel Luddington calling on him to assemble his men and come to the assistance of the Connecticut forces. Colonel Luddington's men were scattered throughout the surrounding country within a radius of 20 miles of his home and extending to the Connectiut State line. At that time the Colonel was wiithout an available messenger to call his men together. His sixteen year old daughter, Sibyl thereupon mounted on horseback rode throughout the district over rough and mountainous roads spreading the news of the attack of the British forces and called her father's men to be mustered. Thus it was that Colonel Ludington mustered his men on that occasion and joined forces with those in Connecticut and as a result the British were overtaken and routed at Ridgefield Conn. Due to her bravery Sibyl Ludington has become known as a "Feminine Paul Revere". The home of Colonel Ludington was located in a small settlement now called Ludingtonville, situated in the northern part of Putnam County, N.Y."
TOWNSHIPS & BOUNDARIES
Frederickstown, Carmel, Philipstown & Putnam Valley:
Originally Philipse Patent
1777: This area shown as "Fredericksburg" on the 1777 tax list of Philipse Patent, where "Peter Angevine estate" is shown (with poll tax of 4); this could refer to Peter Angevine (Jr.), son of the immigrant, who died after 1773 leaving four sons who were over the age of 16 in 1777.
Historical and Genealogical Record, Dutchess and Putnam Counties, New York (Poughkeepsie, NY: Press of A.V. Haight Co., 1912), p.84 containing a transcript of the 1777 tax list says Peter Angevine, not "Peter Angevine's estate," but it is not clear from any other published transcripts whether two Peter Angevines might be listed on the original.
1790: Joseph Angevine listed in Frederickstown, Dutchess County, northeast of New York City. Frederickstown included the southern ½ of Lots 5 & 6 of Philipse Patent. Frederickstown's southern boundary was the Westchester County line and the western boundary was Philipstown (now Putnam Valley). The Angevines lived very near the western boundary of Frederickstown, across the line from the eastern border of Philipstown (now Putnam Valley).
1795: Frederickstown became Carmel, Dutchess County, NY
1800: Margaret Angevine lived in Carmel, Dutchess County, NY
1810: Margaret Angevine lived with son Peter Angevine in Philipstown, Dutchess County. Whether they moved across the line into Philipstown or the line changed is uncertain. If they moved, it wasn't far (a mile or so).
1812: This part of Dutchess Co. became Putnam County
1820: Peter Angevine in Philipstown, Putnam County
1839: East half of Philipstown was incorporated as a separate town, Quincy
1840: Quincy (Philipstown) changed name to Putnam Valley
1861: A small part of the NW tip of Carmel Township was added to Putnam Valley
Joseph Angevine is not shown among the original purchasers in Philipse Patent, but in the 1777 list is shown "Peter Angevine's estate" near Jonathan, Thomas, Silas and David Paddock, Elijah Tompkins. In the 1790 census Joseph Angevine (son of Peter Angevine and Abigail Williams) was a neighbor of Peter Badeau, Thomas Kirkum and his brother Zebedee's widow Lydia Kirkum, shown as Thomas and Zebedee Kirkland in the 1788 list of purchasers of the land of Mary Philipse Lot 5. Peter Badeau was also an original purchaser and married Catherine Coutant of New Rochelle. Their son John married Rachel Kirkum/Kirkham, whose daughter married Zabud Lounsbury, (see also History of Westchester County, New York (1886), by John Thomas Scharf, vol. 2,pp. 454-55, which states "the barn of David Valentine" stands on the foundation of Thomas Kirkham's house.) "Preaching services were held in the house of Peter Badeau near the Red Mills, (Mahopac Falls) in 1761, by Rev. Samuel Sacket of the Yorktown (Presbyterian) church, and religious services were held at an early day in the loft of the old Red Mill, but a church building was not erected until 1784 on the site of the present Presbyterian church. April 5, 1895."(ref., [Carmel, N.Y.] Putnam County Currier, April 5, 1895.)
1790 census: (3 Jan 1791) #453 Joseph Angevine (1-3-3-0-0) lived in Frederickstown (Carmel after 1795), Dutchess Co. (Putnam Co. after 1812), New York.
#498 was Deveraux (Devoue) Bailey, second largest slave owner in the area and father of Benjamin Bailey who married Joseph Angevine's daughter Abigail.
In 1790 #453 Joseph Angevine was next door to William Porter and Peter Badeau, Thomas & Lydia Kirkum(widow of Zebedee Kirkum), Smiths, John Devereaux, Isaac Lounsbury, Daniel & Benj. Knap, James & Charles Sovine Sr & Jr.
Settlers of the Beekman Patent (2010) by F.J.Doherty, p.515: "The Porter family came to (Old) Dutchess County by Feb. 1741 when Nathaniel Porter was on the tax roll in South Precinct. Joseph Porter arrived there one year later. The presence of this family in Beekman is very limited; David Porter was taxed in 1778, Sarah Porter was a customer at a general store and William Porter was on the census for Beekman 1790-1810. ...William Porter was on the Frederickstown census in I790 (3-0-3) between James Cock and Joseph Angevine. He married Mabel, daughter of Ebenezer Stephens of Danbury and New Fairfield, Connecticut about I753."
#877 Nathan Conklin also lived in the Frederickstown district, shown some distance away in 1790 though later censuses show him closer, perhaps owing to the route of the census taker. These are later in Putnam Valley near its eastern boundary and so may have been in Frederickstown near its western boundary or just over the line.
Isaac Lounsbury was a great-grandson of Louis Guion, cousin of the first wife of Joseph Angevine's grandfather Pierre Angevine. The Lounsburys were also related to Smiths and Knapps.
In 1790, Nathan Lane, Abraham Smith, Titus Travis, Joshua Tompkins(Sr & Jr), James, Cornelius, & Stephen Tompkins were shown at Phillips (now Putnam Valley). Titus Travis had lived there since before the Revolutionary War.
Lydia Kirkum, neighbor of Joseph Angevine in 1790, is buried at the Wood Street Cemetery at Putnam Valley, called Kirkum Burial Plot (Angevine Gen. by Clyde Angevine, p. 62; also called Kirkum Plot, Wood St. Cemetery in a Curry Family Tree) and sometimes Wood Cemetery, and where Joseph's daughter-in-law is buried, near the Kirkum, Angevine, and Abraham Smith homes. Her husband Zebedee Kirkum, who died in 1788, was buried there. These facts lend credence to the supposition that Joseph Angevine may be buried there also.

In 1810, widow Margaret Angevine was living with her son Peter Angevine and his wife Sarah Conklin in Philipstown (now Putnam Valley). Next door neighbors included David Knapp and James Cronkright, and other neighbors John Smith, Isaac Post (1762-1842), Abraham Post, Titus Travis, Peter Bonker, Abraham Smith (father of Saxton Smith ), James and Nehemiah Tompkins, James Serine (Sorine,Surine), Nathan Lane Sr & Jr, Nathan Laine, Elijah Nelson, Amos Conklin, John Barger, Nehemiah Barger, Cornelius Van Catt, Jeremiah Conklin, James & John Serine (Sorine, Suvine). In 1822 Peter Angevine purchased land adjoining Nathan Lane for $4,340, and in 1829 his son George purchased more land from Nathan Lane's estate adjoining his father Peter.

On Jan. 1, 1822, a year before Sarah Angevine's death, Allen B. Secor of Phillips Twp sold land to Peter Angevine for $4,340.00, near Abraham Smith, Nathan Lane, and others (Putnam Co. Deed Book A, pp.453-56). Allen Blair Secor (1791-1826), father of Saxton Secor (1821-1891), was a great-grandson of Jacques Sicard who came from La Rochelle, France to New Rochelle, N.Y. with the Angevines. In 1829, Peter and Sarah Angevine's son, 25-year-old George L. Angevine, purchased a tract of land adjoining his father's land from the estate of Nathan Lane for $1,816.20, witnessed by Abraham Smith (Putnam Co. Deed Book E, pp.369-72). The 1830 census shows George L. next door to his father Peter Angevine.
This area was in the vicinity of Secor Road and Wood Street in what became Putnam Valley, Putnam County, near Secor Lake.
1830 census shows Peter Angevine and son George lived next to Saxton Smith's brother Allen Blair Smith (1796-1834), and other neighbors were Joshua Lounsbury, Salah Knapp, John Knapp, Abraham Smith, Hiram Purdy, Joseph Barger. Five households away the other direction was Jeremiah Conklin, Moses Tompkins, George Lane, Amos Conklin, Thomas Tompkins, David Barger, John Barger, & Samuel Barger.
Rev. Allen Blair, a native of Ireland, taught school at Red Mills and was supply pastor of the Red Mills Presbyterian Church. He was minister at Gilead Presbyterian Church at Carmel 1812-13.
Margaret was not living with son Peter at Putnam Valley in 1820. She evidently went to live with other children and in 1840 was back at Mahopac where her daughter Abigail Angevine Bailey lived near the Bailey cemetery.
It would seem possible that Joseph Angevine could be buried beside his wife at the Bailey Cemetery, but if he was, there is no extant marker and it was long gone before the first transcriptions were made. He died 1796-99, and his wife Margaret never remarried. The 1840 census shows her living near Carmel where several Angevines and Baileys were neighbors. Margaret later lived with her daughter Abigail who married Benjamin Bailey, thought to be her cousin. The son of Devoue Bailey and Elizabeth Smith Bailey, he was a first cousin of Hachaliah Bailey , (1775-1845) who owned the first circus elephant, "Old Bet," and was a forerunner of the Barnum and Bailey Circus.
Joseph Angevine's nephew Caleb Sutton Angevine (1795-1859) was co-owner of the June, Titus & Angevine Circus, with John J. June and Lewis Brown Titus .
A study of the neighbors of Joseph Angevine and his son Peter Angevine 1790-1830 shows them buried in numerous cemeteries within a 5-mile radius, most of them at the Presbyterian Cemetery, but it is most probable that Joseph Angevine was buried in the Wood Street Cemetery nearest his home at Putnam Valley and where his daughter-in-law Sarah Conklyn Angevine was buried later. Since he lived by the Kirkums in 1790, as did his son Peter, the logical conclusion is that Joseph was buried there in the Kirkum/Wood Cemetery and that his son Peter later buried his wife there by his father in 1823. By the time Peter's mother Margaret died in 1843, Peter had moved to Michigan. As Margaret was living with her daughter Abigail Bailey at the time of her death, Abigail buried her mother in the nearby Bailey cemetery near her husband Benjamin Bailey.
The Wood Street Cemetery at Putnam Valley is 7 miles west of the Bailey Cemetery at Mahopac. Wood Street Cemetery was also called the Kirkum Cemetery in some references and Wood Cemetery in others. One of Joseph Angevine's grandsons married into the Wood family.
The names of only four of the nine children of Joseph and Margaret Angevine are known:
1. Peter Angevine 1779-1852
2. Son bc1780-85
3. Lavina 1783-1873 (unmarried)
4. son c1785 (bef 1790)
5. Abigail 1788-1851 (m. Benjamin Bailey)
6. son c1790
7. dau 1792
8. dau 1794
9. Sarah 1798-1856 (m. Samuel Brundage, said to be half owner, with Hachaliah Bailey, of "Old Bet," the famed circus elephant)
It is possible that Lavina was not an unmarried daughter but the widow of the second son, in which case the third daughter might be Mrs. Rhinehart or Reinhardt, the mother of Amelia (1802-1888) (Find-A-Grave 176174997) who married Henry Warren and had son Angevine Warren.
His son Capt. Peter Angevine was the father of Allen S. Angevine, father of Saxton Smith Angevine.
Joseph Angevine may have inherited his father's land, described in 1777 as "Peter Angevine's estate" located "near middle of Philipse Patent" in what was then Dutchess County, now Putnam County, New York, and evidently the same property or very near where Joseph resided, Carmel and Putnam Valley (History of Putnam County, New York by William S. Pelletreau, 1886, p.77).
There is a slight possibility this could refer to Joseph's half-brother Peter Angevine III, born 14 September 1752, of whom no further record is found. But more likely it refers to the estate of their first cousin Peter Angevine "The Tory" (1734-1778), whose estate at Carmel was seized by the U.S. government and was tied up a number of years. The Tory fled to Nova Scotia and died there.
MARRIAGE
Joseph Angevine's wife Margaret was left a widow in her 30s with nine children but apparently never remarried, living for over 43 more years until she was buried in the Devoue Bailey family cemetery at Mahopac near Carmel.
Margaret Angevine's marker was transcribed in later years to read:
Sacred to the Memory of
Margaret
Wife of
Joseph Angevine
Died Aug. 21, 1843
Aged 81 years
Buried near Margaret Angevine is her daughter Abigail Angevine Bailey, Mrs. Benjamin Bailey.
Joseph Angevine's wife Margaret is shown by some genealogists as the former Margaret Bailey, probably a sister of Devoue Bailey whose home stood nearby the Bailey cemetery. This is unproven, but if correct then her daughter Abigail married her cousin.
REVOLUTIONARY WAR
Magazine of American Genealogy (Feb. 1930), Sect. 5, No. 7:
p.164: Joseph Angevine enlisted in the 7th Regt., Dutchess County, NY Mil.
p.166: Joseph Anjivine Pvt., Crane's Company, Luddington's Regt., NY State troops
Angevine Genealogy (1977) by Clyde V. Angevine, p.33.
"The Dumb Girl," a short story by James Kirke Paulding, first published in 1830 (reprinted in Tales of the Good Woman, 1836, edited by Washington Irving and William Irving Paulding), tells the story of the two children of a Revolutionary War soldier called "Angevine" … "from the great upper Philipse Patent"… "What was his origin I know not; it was probably French…" The story concerns his widow, his beautiful mute daughter Phoebe Angevine, "the prettiest girl in all the surrounding country, and her brother, Ellee Angevine, "an idiot." An 1851 memorandum by the author states that the story was based on a real girl and many of the details were real but "The name and the sad story are fictitious."
Joseph Angevine's first cousin James Angevine, (1744-1825), son of Lewis Angevine, appears to have been the James Angevine who in 1804, together with Cornelius Ryder (1744-1821), witnessed the will of Founding Father Thomas Paine (1737-1809) ("These Are the Times that Try Men's Souls...."). James Angevine's daughter Phebe Angevine Varian was a sister-in-law of U.S. Vice President Daniel D. Tompkins (1774-1825). James Angevine's brother John Angevine married Phebe Fowler, third cousin of Cornelius Ryder's wife, Abigail Fowler. The executor of Thomas Paine will's was Thomas Addis Emmet (1764-1827), an Irish patriot and New York State Attorney General 1812–1813.
According to The Biographical History of Cloud County, Kansas (1903), by E. F. Hollibaugh, pp. 466-67, a different James Angevine (1777-1874), son of John Angevine Jr. (and thus a second cousin of the James Angevine above, his brothers and their first cousin Joseph) was the James Angevine who was a personal friend of Thomas Paine.
Another first cousin of Joseph, and brother of James and John above, was Peter Angevine (1734-1778), whom some references describe as a Loyalist during the Revolution; at any rate, it is known that his sons were Loyalists and his property in Philipse Patent which his two sons inherited was confiscated and their families forced to move to Canada. It has been thought by some researchers that Joseph Angevine perhaps succeeded in trying to purchase Peter's farm from the state after confiscation since his widow Margaret later lived at Carmel, but there may be some confusion between the Peter Angevine Jr. (son of the immigrant from France) and his nephew Peter "the Tory." Some references say Peter "the Tory" died in the War although it appears he was not actually a Tory but his two sons were, and certainly it was their inherited estate from their father that was attached. One researcher states that Peter the Torey's farm lay east of Carmel or at Southeast, and another describes Joseph's widow Margaret as living southwest of Mahopac which is southwest of Carmel. So these may be separate farms.
Joseph Angevine served in the Revolutionary War in the Dutchess County Militia, 7th New York Regiment, under Colonel Henry Ludington and Lt. David Porter for whom one of Joseph Angevine's grandsons later was named. (History of Dutchess County, New York (1909) by Frank Hasbrouck p. 165; New York in the Revolution (1898) by by James A. Roberts, p.150) This regiment was formed Oct. 17,1775-March 8, 1776 and included many of the same neighbors in the Philipse Patent, indicating that Joseph Angevine was a resident of the area before the War, not just after, when some researchers believe he arrived to purchase his cousin Peter's farm which had been seized from his Loyalist sons (Colonel Henry Ludington: A Memoir [1907] by Willis Fletcher Johnson, p.68). No record of Joseph's purchase of land has been found either, which seems further evidence that the Peter Angevine who died in Philipse Patent 1776-7 was Peter Angevine Jr. rather than his nephew Peter, Joseph's cousin. Was the farm of the Loyalist Peter Angevine family elsewhere in Philipse Patent or was it also in Lot 5?
Titus Travis of Putnam Valley and other Angevine neighbors were also members of the 7th Regiment.
TRAVIS GENEALOGY: DESCENDANTS OF TITUS TRAVIS (http://cptravis.tripod.com/): "Members of the militia were mostly farmers. They were not required to perform military duty continously, but were mustered whenever their community was menaced by the approach of British forces.
"On one of such occasions after the British had sacked and burned Danbury, Conn. where supplies and ammunition were stored for the use of the American forces, a message was sent to Colonel Luddington calling on him to assemble his men and come to the assistance of the Connecticut forces. Colonel Luddington's men were scattered throughout the surrounding country within a radius of 20 miles of his home and extending to the Connectiut State line. At that time the Colonel was wiithout an available messenger to call his men together. His sixteen year old daughter, Sibyl thereupon mounted on horseback rode throughout the district over rough and mountainous roads spreading the news of the attack of the British forces and called her father's men to be mustered. Thus it was that Colonel Ludington mustered his men on that occasion and joined forces with those in Connecticut and as a result the British were overtaken and routed at Ridgefield Conn. Due to her bravery Sibyl Ludington has become known as a "Feminine Paul Revere". The home of Colonel Ludington was located in a small settlement now called Ludingtonville, situated in the northern part of Putnam County, N.Y."
TOWNSHIPS & BOUNDARIES
Frederickstown, Carmel, Philipstown & Putnam Valley:
Originally Philipse Patent
1777: This area shown as "Fredericksburg" on the 1777 tax list of Philipse Patent, where "Peter Angevine estate" is shown (with poll tax of 4); this could refer to Peter Angevine (Jr.), son of the immigrant, who died after 1773 leaving four sons who were over the age of 16 in 1777.
Historical and Genealogical Record, Dutchess and Putnam Counties, New York (Poughkeepsie, NY: Press of A.V. Haight Co., 1912), p.84 containing a transcript of the 1777 tax list says Peter Angevine, not "Peter Angevine's estate," but it is not clear from any other published transcripts whether two Peter Angevines might be listed on the original.
1790: Joseph Angevine listed in Frederickstown, Dutchess County, northeast of New York City. Frederickstown included the southern ½ of Lots 5 & 6 of Philipse Patent. Frederickstown's southern boundary was the Westchester County line and the western boundary was Philipstown (now Putnam Valley). The Angevines lived very near the western boundary of Frederickstown, across the line from the eastern border of Philipstown (now Putnam Valley).
1795: Frederickstown became Carmel, Dutchess County, NY
1800: Margaret Angevine lived in Carmel, Dutchess County, NY
1810: Margaret Angevine lived with son Peter Angevine in Philipstown, Dutchess County. Whether they moved across the line into Philipstown or the line changed is uncertain. If they moved, it wasn't far (a mile or so).
1812: This part of Dutchess Co. became Putnam County
1820: Peter Angevine in Philipstown, Putnam County
1839: East half of Philipstown was incorporated as a separate town, Quincy
1840: Quincy (Philipstown) changed name to Putnam Valley
1861: A small part of the NW tip of Carmel Township was added to Putnam Valley
Joseph Angevine is not shown among the original purchasers in Philipse Patent, but in the 1777 list is shown "Peter Angevine's estate" near Jonathan, Thomas, Silas and David Paddock, Elijah Tompkins. In the 1790 census Joseph Angevine (son of Peter Angevine and Abigail Williams) was a neighbor of Peter Badeau, Thomas Kirkum and his brother Zebedee's widow Lydia Kirkum, shown as Thomas and Zebedee Kirkland in the 1788 list of purchasers of the land of Mary Philipse Lot 5. Peter Badeau was also an original purchaser and married Catherine Coutant of New Rochelle. Their son John married Rachel Kirkum/Kirkham, whose daughter married Zabud Lounsbury, (see also History of Westchester County, New York (1886), by John Thomas Scharf, vol. 2,pp. 454-55, which states "the barn of David Valentine" stands on the foundation of Thomas Kirkham's house.) "Preaching services were held in the house of Peter Badeau near the Red Mills, (Mahopac Falls) in 1761, by Rev. Samuel Sacket of the Yorktown (Presbyterian) church, and religious services were held at an early day in the loft of the old Red Mill, but a church building was not erected until 1784 on the site of the present Presbyterian church. April 5, 1895."(ref., [Carmel, N.Y.] Putnam County Currier, April 5, 1895.)
1790 census: (3 Jan 1791) #453 Joseph Angevine (1-3-3-0-0) lived in Frederickstown (Carmel after 1795), Dutchess Co. (Putnam Co. after 1812), New York.
#498 was Deveraux (Devoue) Bailey, second largest slave owner in the area and father of Benjamin Bailey who married Joseph Angevine's daughter Abigail.
In 1790 #453 Joseph Angevine was next door to William Porter and Peter Badeau, Thomas & Lydia Kirkum(widow of Zebedee Kirkum), Smiths, John Devereaux, Isaac Lounsbury, Daniel & Benj. Knap, James & Charles Sovine Sr & Jr.
Settlers of the Beekman Patent (2010) by F.J.Doherty, p.515: "The Porter family came to (Old) Dutchess County by Feb. 1741 when Nathaniel Porter was on the tax roll in South Precinct. Joseph Porter arrived there one year later. The presence of this family in Beekman is very limited; David Porter was taxed in 1778, Sarah Porter was a customer at a general store and William Porter was on the census for Beekman 1790-1810. ...William Porter was on the Frederickstown census in I790 (3-0-3) between James Cock and Joseph Angevine. He married Mabel, daughter of Ebenezer Stephens of Danbury and New Fairfield, Connecticut about I753."
#877 Nathan Conklin also lived in the Frederickstown district, shown some distance away in 1790 though later censuses show him closer, perhaps owing to the route of the census taker. These are later in Putnam Valley near its eastern boundary and so may have been in Frederickstown near its western boundary or just over the line.
Isaac Lounsbury was a great-grandson of Louis Guion, cousin of the first wife of Joseph Angevine's grandfather Pierre Angevine. The Lounsburys were also related to Smiths and Knapps.
In 1790, Nathan Lane, Abraham Smith, Titus Travis, Joshua Tompkins(Sr & Jr), James, Cornelius, & Stephen Tompkins were shown at Phillips (now Putnam Valley). Titus Travis had lived there since before the Revolutionary War.
Lydia Kirkum, neighbor of Joseph Angevine in 1790, is buried at the Wood Street Cemetery at Putnam Valley, called Kirkum Burial Plot (Angevine Gen. by Clyde Angevine, p. 62; also called Kirkum Plot, Wood St. Cemetery in a Curry Family Tree) and sometimes Wood Cemetery, and where Joseph's daughter-in-law is buried, near the Kirkum, Angevine, and Abraham Smith homes. Her husband Zebedee Kirkum, who died in 1788, was buried there. These facts lend credence to the supposition that Joseph Angevine may be buried there also.

In 1800 at Carmel, Dutchess County (now Putnam County): Joseph Angevine's widow Margaret Angevine lived near the same neighbors, Thomas & Isaac Lounsbury, Caleb Secord, Alvah Trowbridge, Josiah Falkner, Abel Smith Sr., & II, James Sorine (Surine), Charles Sorine Sr, Wm Sorine, Caleb Secord, Nathan Conklin, Timothy Oakley, Wm Faulkner, and others.
In 1803 the eldest son Peter Angevine married Sarah Conklin. He was listed as the head of the household in 1810 and later served in the War of 1812.
In 1809, Abigail Angevine married Benjamin Bailey at Somers, NY. ('Political Barometer' Wed Jun 1809 - On Monday 12th inst., by the Rev. Mr. Dodd, Mr. Benjamin
BAILEY to Miss Abigail ANGEVINE, both of Somers twp.") Her uncle Benjamin Angevine (who later died at Carmel, NY) lived at Somers. Perhaps she lived with his family.
In 1810, widow Margaret Angevine was living with her son Peter Angevine and his wife Sarah Conklin in Philipstown (now Putnam Valley). Next door neighbors included David Knapp and James Cronkright, and other neighbors John Smith, Isaac Post (1762-1842), Abraham Post, Titus Travis, Peter Bonker, Abraham Smith (father of Saxton Smith ), James and Nehemiah Tompkins, James Serine (Sorine,Surine), Nathan Lane Sr & Jr, Nathan Laine, Elijah Nelson, Amos Conklin, John Barger, Nehemiah Barger, Cornelius Van Catt, Jeremiah Conklin, James & John Serine (Sorine, Suvine). In 1822 Peter Angevine purchased land adjoining Nathan Lane for $4,340, and in 1829 his son George purchased more land from Nathan Lane's estate adjoining his father Peter.
Peter Angevine lived near Abraham Smith at Phillipstown (Putnam Valley), near the intersection of Bryant Pond Rd./Secor Rd. and Wood Street, very near the Wood Street Cemetery where Peter Angevine's wife was buried in 1823.
After the War of 1812, Philipse Patent land was confiscated from the Philipse family. Tenants and purchasers of land in Philipse Patent had to prove they had purchased the land from the Philipse family and/or the Native Americans. Peter Angevine testified in one of the hearings that all Tenants "bought their peace" with the Indians, prior to the going off to war (ref.,OLD DUTCHESS FOREVER, THE STORY OF AN AMERICAN COUNTY by HENRY B. MACCRACKEN, p.295).
Peter Angevine was among those who bought his land in Philipse Patent from the Indians. A story nationally syndicated in 1959 depicted the original purchasers in Putnam Valley as pioneer frontiersmen and "cowboys." (The Sacramento Bee (Sacramento, California), Oct. 14, 1959, page F9; "We All Know They Went Thataway, But Where Did They Leave From," in the San Mateo (California) TIMES, August 5, 1959, p.92; "They Went Thataway...But Where Did They Leave From?" in the (East Las Vegas, NM) Las Vegas Daily Optic, August 20, 1959, p.27; and numerous other newspapers.)
In 1820, Peter Angevine lived next door to Joshua Lounsbury and David Knapp, and other neighbors included Thomas Tompkins, Elijah Nelson, Jeremiah Conklin & Amos Conklin, Lockwood, John Barger, & Samuel Barger, Ananias Tompkins, Samuel & Copper Smith, Hortons, Henry Van Tassell, John & Isaac Van Tassell, Charles Smith, John Lounsbury, Nathaniel Surine (Sorine, Serine), Joshua Purdy, John Wood, James Warren, Joseph Ferris, Justice Warren, other Sorines.
On Jan. 1, 1822, a year before Sarah Angevine's death, Allen B. Secor of Phillips Twp sold land to Peter Angevine for $4,340.00, near Abraham Smith, Nathan Lane, and others (Putnam Co. Deed Book A, pp.453-56). Allen Blair Secor (1791-1826), father of Saxton Secor (1821-1891), was a great-grandson of Jacques Sicard who came from La Rochelle, France to New Rochelle, N.Y. with the Angevines. In 1829, Peter and Sarah Angevine's son, 25-year-old George L. Angevine, purchased a tract of land adjoining his father's land from the estate of Nathan Lane for $1,816.20, witnessed by Abraham Smith (Putnam Co. Deed Book E, pp.369-72). The 1830 census shows George L. next door to his father Peter Angevine.
This area was in the vicinity of Secor Road and Wood Street in what became Putnam Valley, Putnam County, near Secor Lake.
1830 census shows Peter Angevine and son George lived next to Saxton Smith's brother Allen Blair Smith (1796-1834), and other neighbors were Joshua Lounsbury, Salah Knapp, John Knapp, Abraham Smith, Hiram Purdy, Joseph Barger. Five households away the other direction was Jeremiah Conklin, Moses Tompkins, George Lane, Amos Conklin, Thomas Tompkins, David Barger, John Barger, & Samuel Barger.
Rev. Allen Blair, a native of Ireland, taught school at Red Mills and was supply pastor of the Red Mills Presbyterian Church. He was minister at Gilead Presbyterian Church at Carmel 1812-13.
Margaret was not living with son Peter at Putnam Valley in 1820. She evidently went to live with other children and in 1840 was back at Mahopac where her daughter Abigail Angevine Bailey lived near the Bailey cemetery.
It would seem possible that Joseph Angevine could be buried beside his wife at the Bailey Cemetery, but if he was, there is no extant marker and it was long gone before the first transcriptions were made. He died 1796-99, and his wife Margaret never remarried. The 1840 census shows her living near Carmel where several Angevines and Baileys were neighbors. Margaret later lived with her daughter Abigail who married Benjamin Bailey, thought to be her cousin. The son of Devoue Bailey and Elizabeth Smith Bailey, he was a first cousin of Hachaliah Bailey , (1775-1845) who owned the first circus elephant, "Old Bet," and was a forerunner of the Barnum and Bailey Circus.
Joseph Angevine's nephew Caleb Sutton Angevine (1795-1859) was co-owner of the June, Titus & Angevine Circus, with John J. June and Lewis Brown Titus .
A study of the neighbors of Joseph Angevine and his son Peter Angevine 1790-1830 shows them buried in numerous cemeteries within a 5-mile radius, most of them at the Presbyterian Cemetery, but it is most probable that Joseph Angevine was buried in the Wood Street Cemetery nearest his home at Putnam Valley and where his daughter-in-law Sarah Conklyn Angevine was buried later. Since he lived by the Kirkums in 1790, as did his son Peter, the logical conclusion is that Joseph was buried there in the Kirkum/Wood Cemetery and that his son Peter later buried his wife there by his father in 1823. By the time Peter's mother Margaret died in 1843, Peter had moved to Michigan. As Margaret was living with her daughter Abigail Bailey at the time of her death, Abigail buried her mother in the nearby Bailey cemetery near her husband Benjamin Bailey.
The Wood Street Cemetery at Putnam Valley is 7 miles west of the Bailey Cemetery at Mahopac. Wood Street Cemetery was also called the Kirkum Cemetery in some references and Wood Cemetery in others. One of Joseph Angevine's grandsons married into the Wood family.
The names of only four of the nine children of Joseph and Margaret Angevine are known:
1. Peter Angevine 1779-1852
2. Son bc1780-85
3. Lavina 1783-1873 (unmarried)
4. son c1785 (bef 1790)
5. Abigail 1788-1851 (m. Benjamin Bailey)
6. son c1790
7. dau 1792
8. dau 1794
9. Sarah 1798-1856 (m. Samuel Brundage, said to be half owner, with Hachaliah Bailey, of "Old Bet," the famed circus elephant)
It is possible that Lavina was not an unmarried daughter but the widow of the second son, in which case the third daughter might be Mrs. Rhinehart or Reinhardt, the mother of Amelia (1802-1888) (Find-A-Grave 176174997) who married Henry Warren and had son Angevine Warren.
